My forthcoming April itinerary:
From Orlando along the lush St. John's River and past sinkhole lakes to Jacksonville, overnight across the Florida Panhandle, dawn breaks along the Gulf coast west of Mobile, mid-morning arrival in New Orleans with lunch in or around the French Quarter. Afternoon through the rich Mississippi Delta to Jackson and on to Memphis, overnight to Chicago. Spend the day in Chicago with a visit to the Art Institute's exhibition on contemporary train and station design, then overnight by a new sleeper service to Louisville. Rent a car for a couple days to explore bluegrass country and Mammoth Cave, the world's largest.
