Questions about Georgia, Alabama and Florida [View all]

So, I've been to 47 usa states (lots of road trips with parents). A bucket list item is to have been to all 50, and these three are the ones left.

I plan to fly to Atlanta from L. A. and rent a car. Things I want to see:
Jimmy Carter Library, Atlanta
Plains
Savanah
Everglades
St. Augustine
Key West
Birmingham
Selma

Is there anything else you can suggest?
Can I do this in 10 days or so?
I hope to go in October. Any good fall color spots?

Thanks!!!

You can see some decent fall color an hour north of Atlanta. However, nowadays, early October has become a bit early. Silent Type Jan 2024 #2

No way you can do it in just 10 days. Ga and Al are some long states N to South. So is floriduh. mobeau69 Jan 2024 #6

Avoid downtown Atlanta, especially anytime near rush hour. eppur_se_muova Jan 2024 #7

Well, I'm in So. Cal so HI and AK are close. Beatlelvr Jan 2024 #11

You can do Georgia and Alabama together and make Florida a separate trip yellowdogintexas Jan 2024 #8

Much to do in So Fla alone... Everglades national park is a treat. I've done it many times and always a pleaser mitch96 Jan 2024 #12
