A lot of driving, but maybe doable.

Again, I would stay at Wakulla Springs or maybe Apalachicola rather than Panama City. In any event, Destin instead of Panama City.

Yes, dwdvagamundo, I am afraid about travelling so many hour by car. But I do not find other way of doing these visits...

Finally, the last days will be this route:

16, Savannah - Saint Augustine
17, Saint Augustine – Wakulla Springs – Apalachicola
18, Apalachicola - ¿Panama City? – Scenic Highway 30ª - Destin - Pensacola
19, Pensacola - Gulf Islands National Seashore - Pensacola
20, Pensacola - ¿Mobile? - New Orleans
21, Flight

You could play it somewhat by ear but I'd cut a day from Asheville and add to Charleston.

Hi Gretchen, thanks for your advise but I am afraid I can not do changes on my Asheville days since I have made a closed reservation in an apartment. On the other hand I thougth that three days on the same stop would be a good reset on our road trip...

I'm very excited about this trip. I am travelling from Europe and I think I will see very different areas of USA although many miles....

Looks quite doable now that you have some programmed stops.

Have a great vacation! Hope you enjoy the southeastern US as much as we do.
