What's the best route from Minnesota to Florida?

I want to drive from Minnesota to Florida sometime this winter to get away from the frigid temperatures. I’ve never made this drive before, so I’m not sure what the best way to get to Florida is. What’s the best driving route from Minnesota to Florida?

If you’re tired of the
Minnesota
cold,
Florida
just might be the answer to your problems—with temperatures in the 70s even during winter, it’s a nice break from the Arctic winds that blast the Gopher State. Here’s the best route from Minnesota to Florida:
  • Hop on I-94 East out of Minnesota
  • Continue on I-90 East near Tomah, Wisconsin
  • Just outside of Rockford, Illinois, stay right to continue on I-39 South
  • In Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, merge onto I-55 South/I-74 East
  • Continue on I-74 East until Champaign
  • Take exit 179A for I-57 South
  • Take exit 44 for I-24 East
  • Near Chattanooga, take exit 185A for I-75 South
  • Ride I-75 South all the way down to the Sunshine State
