...could drive for a small vacation? HELP..? Female, streesed out that needs to get away for about 7 days. I will be renting a vehicle to drive there. I would prefer it to be warm but a safe place for just myself to go and relax.

I am in need for some advice if anyone has any.

Much appreciated.

I have family from Columbus, Ohio and I'm from southern Alabama. They have a beach house down here they regularly drive to. You can make the drive in a day. Gulf Shores, Alabama; Dauphin Island, Alabama; Orange Beach, Alabama; Destin/Ft. Walton Beach, Florida are all fairly cheap during the winter and have pretty beaches. Not too many tourists, not crazy like Panama City, nice local places to tour while you're there (i.e.- Mobile, Alabama, etc). You can also look into renting a bay house/cottage on Mobile Bay. Look up Fairhope, Alabama. Small, quaint resort town. Very visitor friendly. The Grand Hotel Resort is a beautiful, sprawling resort on Mobile Bay that has been around since the civil war. A little pricey, but totally worth it. Also, if you come to Fairhope in the next few weeks, you can check out Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama (a 30 minute drive from the Grand Hotel). Mardi Gras started in Mobile and is a little safer, more family-friendly than New Orleans. No way to relieve stress like catching some beads and checking out colorful floats.
 
You could drive to Nashville in about 8 hours. Highs in the mid 60s, lows in the mid 40s forecasted for next week. Offers the safety of large motel/hotel chains for pure relaxation, and the additional benefit of plenty of other things to do if you decide you want to get out for a bit.
