Recommendation

If you are looking for the quickest option, flying is the best choice, given its overall duration of 5 hours, though it may be more expensive. For a balance of convenience and cost, consider driving, especially if you can share the journey with companions to split costs. The scenic drive through Florida has its benefits, allowing for exploration of charming towns along the way. If travelling on a budget, the bus is the most economical route but comes with the trade-off of longer travel time.
