Montgomery, Alabama to I-10
I have been looking at the Chicago to Florida posts and am looking at a route suggested there. All interstate down to Montgomery, AL so that all looks fine. What am I looking at from Montgomery to I...

There are three or four good options. But you need to tell us where you're going?
We are going a couple places in Florida starting with the Jacksonville area, down to Port ST Lucie then Clewiston and back to east central Illinois. Using the Good Sam trip planner is showing about two more hours going Nashville to Montgomery to Jacksonville instead of through Chattanooga and Atlanta. Looking at a total of 9 or 10 days, I am retired but the wife has a business so has a limited time she can be away. Jim.
My home base is south of Birmingham, AL and I travel to Panama City, FL a couple of times a year. I traveled 231 one time and no more. Way too much traffic for me. The route I prefer is:
From Montgomery continue south on I65 to exit 114
Turn left on hwy 106 for a mile is so and continue south on hwy 55 to
Florala then south on hwy 331 to just south of DeFuniak Springs. Take hwy 20 east to south on hwy 79 to hwy 90. The reason for hwy 20 and 79 is there is major bridge/road construction on 331 south of 331 an 20.
This route brings you in to the west side of Panama City.
Nice road, little traffic, some 4 lane. Nice drive.
Yup our favorite way to get to Destin too.
