Atlanta weekend reality check

I-285 and the northbound interstates slow badly on Friday afternoons — leave early.
Savannah and Charleston get very busy on holiday weekends (and Savannah's St. Patrick's Day) — book ahead or go shoulder-season.
Asheville and Blue Ridge foliage weekends in October fill lodging fast.
Anything past about 4 hours (Savannah, Nashville, Charleston, Gulf Shores) is better as a two-night weekend.
Georgia summers are hot and humid — plan mountain trips or early starts if you want to be outside.
