Stopover half-way Dallas and Destin FL Via I-10 on way back

This is now an old posting. But from Dallas to Destin is a long, long way, and the interstates just don't go that way.

You go I-20 east thru Shreveport and Monroe to Jackson, MS. From Jackson, you go southeast to Hattiesburg where you pickup Hwy 98 into Mobile. There, you pickup I-10 over to Crestview, FL where you turn south through Eglin AFB into Destin area.

Unfortunately, you cannot easily fly there either.
