Recommendation
For a balance of convenience and speed, I recommend opting for air travel with Delta Air Lines or American Airlines. This option minimizes travel fatigue and is generally more efficient than a long road trip. However, if you enjoy road trips and would like to see the sights along the way, driving can offer a memorable experience.
