I'm driving from Dallas to Atlanta next week.  It's an estimated 13 hour drive and since I don't like driving for that long at a stretch, thought I'd stop somewhere in between and look around and spend the night.  Any recommendations?  My experience of traveling in that part of the country is zero, and I'm planning to take I-20 all of the way.  

http://www.roadtripusa.com/routes/southernpacific/southernpacific.html

This is the website my friends and I use when we plan roadtrips around the country.

AAA has apps out there which are great on the road. It's not just the map & directions - also has options to turn on nearby hotels, restaurants, etc with ratings & links all from the same screen. We used it a lot during our trip this summer: Atlanta - St Louis - Kansas City - Alma (BFW Nebraska) - Chicago - HOME!

If you'll be driving through Louisiana during daylight, there are some amazing BBQ joints in some of the small towns on the highway which runs parallel to I-20, just a couple miles north. Don't know much about Alabama.

Edit: Sorry. Meant to type I-20, since that's the Interstate which runs directly from Dallas to Atlanta. A weekend of camping with six other families (total of 15 kids!) left me a little brain dead.

Oooh, thank you. That looks really useful.

Sounds lovely, but while I have an AAA membership, I have neither smartphone nor iPod touch nor iPad.  Maybe someday....

It's looking like Jackson MI will be the overnight point, but I might stop at few places before and after to stretch my legs and look at things, and maybe scope out one of those BBQ places for lunch.

At least this isn't an issue of knowing where one's towel is...

I take it to be code for they like to smoke dope, have rejected organized religion but still believe in a god and try to live life being "good" people.

I take it to be either that or that they believe in nutty mysticism nonsense.
