I bought my 125 mph Pacer down that way (Foley Alabama) and flew it back as a very low time tailwheel pilot about 12 years ago. It was non eventful with no mountains to cross and nice weather.
I have also flown my scratch built 60-70 mph Minimax ultralight from NW Ohio to Oshkosh Wisconsin (6 hours total flying time vs 8 hrs in a car) twice. It was a bit more stressful, but it made for a fun adventure. I will probably never do it again (BTDT twice), but I look back on it fondly. I have also flown it out to Put in Bay island on Lake Erie.
My wife has flown to Sun and Fun in Florida in a 60 hp freshly restored cub with her first husband. She and I have flown my Pacer and my old Grumman there too (11 hours flying time IIRC). Provided you respect the weather, cross country flights in little airplanes provide a great sense of adventure for those of us who do not do it every day.
If I can swing it financially someday when I am retired, I would like travel all over the US in a small twin (restoring a late 50's Cessna 310 is my dream retirement project).
Go for it.... you could do that in one day if you wanted to as it is probably somewhere around 10 hours flying time in your bird.
