I drove I-10 from Cal to Fla this past early February (wanted to take I-40 but it was too cold and snowy). No problems. Had three cats with me driving a PU with a camper shell and a pass thru window. The cats overnighted in the camper shell. Most name brand motels allow animals for a $10 additional charge.

Take I-12 at Baton Rouge to bypass New Orleans and get back on I-10 at Slidell. Also, try Hwy 16 bypass around San Antonio.

Recommend you stop every two hours or so for a half hour to chill - traffic around Tucson, El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Baton Rouge and Mobile is pretty hectic. Highway rest stops in Fla are the best.

Enjoy the ride.
