We are from Mid-Michigan. We leave at about 4:00am and take I-69 to US-23 which connects to I-75 in Ohio. We usually stop in Dalton, GA overnight (ariving late afternoon, just in time for dinner) and the next day we leave about 8:00 and are at our hotel within 9 hours. (We travel with 2 small children 2 and 4 this year). Quite the easy drive, pending any construction (which is alway true many times through out our trip!) and any accidents!
