To Atlanta Georgia with a car from New Orleans

We decided to drive a car instead of flying to Atlanta and this was the plan: thursday night to Destin, Florida on I-10 where we drove through Mississippi and Alabama to Florida. We stayed at The Palms of Destin that had everything we needed for 2 nights. I am amazed of Destin and its beauty and evening life. Make sure you check out the location of your hotel before you book it so you do not have to use a vechile during the evenings... The traffic is horrible.... It took us 5 hours (290 miles) to drive to Destin the first evening...
