I drive on I-65 until I hit I-10 in Marianna, then I75 until you hit the left branch for Orlando (FL turnpike). Easy peasy. The trip is about 9 1/2 hours.

We go at least once a year and that is how we always go (although now we start from north of Mont. instead of from B'ham). It isn't a bad drive at all, but the I-10 stretch across the panhandle is visually boring for the most part and always seems to take a lot longer than it actually does IMHO. A few years ago I started letting the missus drive that stretch while I drive everything else, and swapping like that has helped alot, for me. |

I-65 veers off to the west past Montgomery so you'll be going in the wrong direction until you hit I-10 again. I would recommend I-20 to I-285 to I-75. Just try and time your route through Atlanta to make sure you don't go around rush hour.

I used to take I-10 off of I-65, but 10 is the most boring drive I have ever had to endure. I'd rather tak 20 to ATL then 75 south.

I65 to Montgomery. US-231 to Marianna, FL. I10 to I75 to Orlando.
US-231 is 4 lane the entire route and is mostly 65 mph. A few towns to go through but it isn't too bad. |

I agree it isn't too bad of a drive, FTR (I go that way heading to Dothan or PCB), I just prefer Interstate all the way (or as much as possible) when it is an option. |

280 to 520 merging on to 75 at Tifton. It's 4 lane all the way on 280/520 and much of it you can run 65+mph. There are a couple of towns that will drop you down to 45 for a couple of miles. You will make up for lost speed by the amount of mileage you save. You save a good 50 miles that way over 20/75. Driving down 280/520 to Tifton is very similar to driving down 280 from Bham to Auburn. Good stretches of nothing you can run 70+ and some spots you need to slow down at near towns.

I live S Shelby.
We take I-65 S to 231 in Montgomery, 231 to I-10, I-10E over. How we go South from there is usually a tossup, as we have family in Jax. Driving at night you will save some time over I-65 all the way down to I-10. That I-65 stretch from Montgomery to Mobile is one of the most boring stretches of Interstate I have travelled. |
