Drive time between Atlanta and Orlando is 6 1/2 hours.
Atlanta to Miami is 10ish.

While I agree that that is a long drive, I believe that it would create a very diverse district. And while I'd love to see it, I don't believe that it's in the cards as too many believe the travel is too far.

I believe that these distances are no different that having a district event in Michigan's upper peninsula.
