Hi All
I will be travelling by car from Savanna to New Orleans next April can anyone suggest where to stay in two different places on the way
Thanks
Peter

Do you want to stay twice? Do you want to go to the beach?
I'd go to Mobile and eat great seafood and have that vibe and then head on to NOLA.
If you want to include some civil rights history in your trip you might go to Montgomery to the unforgettable Civil Rights monument by Maya Lin at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Then go to Mobile. Then to NOLA

Thanks Gretchen
From Savannah to Mobile is 8 hours plus in the car and going to Nola appears to be out of the way to get to New Orleans
When we leave Savannah a 4-5 hour road trip then stay somewhere then same the next day then on to New Orleans is more what we want
Regards

Just a clarification "NOLA" means New Orleans.

For what you say you want, I suggest the remainder of my post above.

We drove from New Orleans to Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia on the Natchez Trace.

The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. It roughly follows the "Old Natchez Trace" a historic travel corridor used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," European settlers, slave traders, soldiers, and future presidents. Today, people can enjoy not only a scenic drive but also hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping along the parkway.

We loved it and I highly recommend it at least checking it out.

Can anyone suggest where to stop on our first night out from Savannah is Fort Walton beach ok we intend to make Mobile our second night stay thanks to Gretchan before we drive into New Orleans

I think you could have an interesting tour if you drove to Birmingham or Montgomery Alabama for your first night. See the civil rights memorial in Montgomery.
Then go to Mobile. Since Mobile is on the bay/water, another beach town (like Ft. Walton) doesn't offer anything to much different, IMO.
Where are you from if I may ask?

April will be a spectacular time to visit many of these places as the azaleas and dogwoods will be in full bloom.

Thanks Gretchen, We are from Melbourne Australia we have taken your advise and will now go to Birmingham or Montgomery and then to Mobile, From New Orleans we go to Natchez for one night from Natchez a reply suggested we take the Natchez Trace Parkway to Nashville The trip looks like 400 + miles can anyone suggest accommodation stop points
