Because distances are long, it is particularly important to plan routes properly and efficiently. The choice is always: either take the interstate and drive quickly from one place to the other or take a highway. On the highway you will get to see more but move much slower.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avoiding Driving the Same Route Twice \u2013 The Southern States as an Expansive Area: Highway or Interstate<\/h2>\n

We were having difficulties to find proper information about the South of the US right before we went there. The area seems to be of little interest to German travel agencies, they are focused on California and Florida. The southern part of Florida is rather small, issues like that don\u2019t exist to the same extend. In particular in the southern states of the East, choosing the right route is important. This determines how fast or slow you move forward and as a consequence what you get to see. Taking short field trips to certain sights usually does not make much sense and will only cost you money and energy. The rule is: avoid driving the same route twice whenever possible.<\/p>\n
