When you get to Atlanta, be sure to use the HOV lane and you will zip right through. I've been through Atlanta on Friday @ rush hour and the HOV lane is moving good. I believe it's a great drive, right through the heart of Atlanta. Amazing sight at night.

Have a nice drive....
HOV lanes in Atlanta now are toll lanes and require a transponder. Went through Atlanta about two weeks ago and HOV lanes were empty - all other lanes were stop and go.
