Recommendation
For a combination of efficiency and comfort, I highly recommend opting for air travel. This method significantly reduces travel time and provides the convenience of direct transit (with layovers). While ground travel can be an adventure, the extensive duration may not be ideal unless you are looking to experience the scenery along the way.
