Recommendation
For the most efficient journey considering time and comfort, I recommend flying as your primary choice. Look for deals with American Airlines or Delta Airlines for the best pricing. However, if you prefer a scenic route and have time to spare, a road trip can be a delightful experience with ample opportunities to explore interesting towns along the way. Ensure to prep for the drive with snacks and plan some stops to avoid fatigue.
