Alot of the advise hinges on where the OP is going in Florida.

Personally I have no issues with Atlanta but for some different scenery try this: From Montgomery take I-85 east to I-185 & go south to Columbus. I-185 S turns into US 27 which is 4-laned to Bainbridge, GA. and on to Tallahssee where you get on I-10. This is an excellent road that has by-passes around most of the small towns. lizzie
You are describing a route that adds 60 miles or so of driving to get to Columubus. At Opelika take US 280 to and thru Phenix City and continue on to Cusetta, GA where you make a right turn onto US 27. US280 is four lane all the way, though not limited access, is not a bad drive at all. If you want to avoid a number of traffic lights, From where 280 hits US 80 in Phenix City, turn left onto 80E and go four or five miles till you hit I-185 south. Adds a few miles and eliminates 20 or so traffic lights.
Don't go all the way to LaGrange to catch I-185, way too much driving.
