Not so Fast(In Lee Corso voice).
If you plan stuff out you can do it.
I was in Chicago and drove to Grand Rapids for a Wedding(DURING our Super Regional.
) and instead of driving straight back to Chicago, we detoured 8 hours to go see Michigan State, Michigan, and Notre Dame(I had no idea we'd have to ask a guard to let us go see the campus. 
). All b/c we'll probably never get back up there again. I've also left work 2hrs early for my son's football game in Slidell just so I could take HWY 90(Chef Mentuer) from Nola East to Slidell. I had never driven it nor seen that part of Louisiana before.
Just takes some plannin' b/c I got 4 of them little shitbiscuits.

My trips to Waco will take 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours no matter what route I take. I now take Hwy 90/I-49 through Lafayette up to Natchitoches, then take La 6 into Texas staying on basically that same road (with 3 number changes)to TX Hwy 6 in Marlin. Mostly 2 lane roads but in good shape and 75 MPH limits with not too much traffic. I love that slower traffic will drive on the shoulder to let you pass in Texas.

First time I saw that was on way to Stephen F Austin for a rugby match in 1996. We were driving up from LSU on a Friday night and kept wondering why these cars would pull over to shoulder when I got behind them. I thought they were afraid I'd rear end them.
I was only 20. Forgive me.

Florida Georgia Line isn't country.
Hell, it's a stretch to call it music.
