Me and my group of friends are from Miami, and we plan on taking a plane to NYC, staying there for a day or two, and then renting a car to travel from NYC back down to Miami, FL in 7 days. Our reasoning for this is that we have 9 days to make this trip, and instead of driving up to NYC and back down we would rather fly to NYC, spend an entire day there, and then come back down by car with roughly a week to enjoy everything as to not rush.
I wanted to detour to Gatlinburg, tennesee and then go down through Alabama because south Carolina and Georgia don’t seem to offer much, but I’m not sure we’d have enough time or if it would be worth it. Any suggestions?
Can anyone tell me places to check out on the way down? or any advice really, it would all be greatly appreciated!
