We live on the west coast of FL and go to north central OH nearly every year. Haven't been through Atlanta in 20 years. For people who do not live in that area, it's not doable as it's just plain scary. And that was 20 years ago, we just decided we didn't need that stress in an otherwise great getaway. We take the bypass around Jacksonville, FL, I95 to I26, I26 to I77. Takes us to just south of Akron, OH, where we have a 50 miles drive west. On the way home just the reverse. The only large city to get through is Charlotte, NC. Vacation is now a pleasure!
