NCTBL, your best bet is to get to I 26 or I 85 with consideration of your conditions of terrain to either one. If conditions merit I 26 then to I 85. Then I would take I 85 to I 285 North to I 20 West. Travel through Atlanta between 9 am and 3 pm or 7 pm to about 6:30 am and you should hav no problems.
In my opinion, this way will be shortest, and quickest without a lot of lost time and skipping most of the windy and narrow roads.
I drive the inter states through Atlanta a lot, and it is a lot easier than trying to bypas. Good luck and happy holidays to all.
