springfield mo to tampa florida

anyone have an opinion on the best route from southwest Missouri to tampa florida.........;..thanks
  • Ditto Odessa GRandma route except we get off I-10 at exit 225 and head south on US19 to US98. East on US98 to Suncoast Parkway (toll). Take the toll to Hwy 54. Go east on Hwy 54 to US41 or I-75 depending on where in Tampa area you're headed. The toll on the Suncoast Parkway is reasonable in my opinion and this route is a lot less stressful than I-75 if you have the time.
  • 63 to Memphis to 55 south to Jackson
    49 south to Hattiesburg then 98 south to 65 south just before Mobile.
    10 east thru Mobile to 75 south to Tampa.
  • From Chicago we take I-57 south to I-24 east to I-75 then south on I-75 to wherever you want to go. 6% grade just west of Chattanooga.
