Miami and Raleigh are about 698 miles apart by road. Split the difference and you arrive near Orlando, the city closest to the halfway point between them. That puts roughly 4 hr 18 min of driving on the Miami side and 11 hr 1 min on the Raleigh side — the fairest single meeting point among the cities near the middle.
