Who's heading South to the Gulf Coast or Florida this Fall?

I intended to head for Venice, FL. from Cincinnati, OH. with a stop in Myrtle Beach (to avoid Atlanta, and because I like MB) in late October, spend a couple of weeks with friends in Venice, FL. and drive back. But it occurred to me that I'd be driving north over the Appalachians in late November coming home. Have to be home by then. It doesn't snow much by then, but it does snow. So I'm going in the Spring when the driving will be better the longer I stay. And the snowbirds will all be heading the other direction.
