Meeting in Orlando
Charlotte and Miami are about 655 miles apart by road. Split the difference and you arrive near Orlando, the city closest to the halfway point between them. That puts roughly 9 hr 43 min of driving on the Charlotte side and 4 hr 18 min on the Miami side — the fairest single meeting point among the cities near the middle.
That's a half-day drive from each side, so Orlando suits an overnight or a weekend rather than a quick coffee — long enough to want a reason to stay, short enough to drive.
If Orlando doesn't have what you're after, Tampa and Atlanta are also close to the midpoint and worth a look — each keeps the drive reasonably balanced between Charlotte and Miami.
