I'm considering just taking I10 over to I75 just to avoid that road. Obviously a lot longer mileagewise, but perhaps not a lot more time.
Wondering if anyone has tried that and can comment.

I usually take I-75 . I would avoid I-75 on holiday weekends. On 11/29
I got as far as Ocala before coming to a complete stop. Everyone was doing 85 with one car length between cars. One little bump and it was a 9 car wreck. Naturally every accident then causes a 5 mile back up in both directions.
The weather was perfect- bone dry roads ,,but due density (and I mean density) of traffic and drivers it was one of the most brutal drives I have ever experienced.
The trip to South Carolina took 7 hours rather than the estimated 5 hours.
I took 301 for the first time coming back. Yes there were slow downs in communities but as least the traffic was moving.
