Sometime in May, heading to Siesta Key (Sarasota) FL. w/ my ladies. (wife, daughter and her friend)
thinking of driving this time instead of flying.
looking for input/ suggestions around the major cities.
Day of Week: Friday
Planned Route: I-65 thru IN, KY to Nashville
I-24 Nashville to Chattanooga to pick up I-75
I-75 rest of the way
(OR)
I-65 to Indy
I-74 to Cincy to pick up I-75 then down to Lexington and beyond
plan on leaving early AM 4-5am (i will lose an hour somewhere in IN.)
with planning on ave. speed of 65mph, will hit major cities approx:
INDY 8-9am EST
Louisville or Lexington 10-11am
Nashville or Knoxville 12:30 - 1:30pm
Chattanooga 2:30 - 3:30pm
Atlanta 4:30 - 5:30pm (this one has me worried)
Macon 5:30 -6:30 pm this is approx where i plan to stop for the night.
Sat. up early again, would hit Tampa approx 12-2pm. i know the drive from here, about an hour to sarasota,
but have always come from airport (I-275).
givin the time 12-2PM on a sat. does it make any diff. which route? (I-75 VS I-275)
looking for what to expect around major cities given the time. any known road consrtuction going on,
and what cities is it better to use the bypass around.
also if any members, along my planned route, would care to PM me a contact number
(in case something major happens to the TB and we are stranded for more than an hour or 2,
where i might need transpotation to a hotel)
it would be much appreciated. if not, thats ok too.
in advance for all suggestion.
