Minneapolis, MN to Miami, FL

[choraldiva]

I'm moving from Minneapolis to Miami in early August (I know, not the best time weather-wise to hit up Florida...) and I'd like to make a fun road trip out of it. The drive is long and I must make it in five days or less with two drivers, but I'd like to make a couple of stops along the way. What's interesting between Minnesota and Miami? Anybody know of any hidden treasures we could check out? Also, this will be my first major road trip, and I'm very interested in any advice you can give me about resources and just road tripping in general. Thanks everyone...this forum seems awesome.

This is really one of the best resources out there. Just poke around in the various sections here and you'll get a wealth of info.

Another good website is www.roadsideamerica.com You can find strange and kitschy things to see along your route there.

I've never made that drive so I can't give you any first-hand recommendations. Sorry.

It looks like it's roughly 1800 miles, figuring about 29 hours driving time, you should easily be able to do this in 5 days or less with 2 drivers depending on how many stops you make along the way.

Good luck in your new job.
