Day 12- Final Day of Sightseeing
After enjoying that lovely room in the hotel, we tried their breakfast. Normally, motel/hotel/lodge breakfasts aren't something we "do" very often, but we thought...
Was that on Snodgrass Hill, AZBuck?
DAY 11 - TUESDAY TRAVELS
After Chattanooga, it was time to head northwest again toward home. It would be too far to go from Chattanooga to our home in one...
Day 10 - Chattanooga National Military Park at Point Park, Lookout Mountain
We waited a bit that morning, to let the clouds (fog) burn off a little down in Lookout Valley where we were staying. ...
Day 9 - CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK
Despite the look of a cloudy day, we started out at a decent hour. First stop, though, was at the neighboring Walmart store for a few things. which...
Day 8 - TRAVEL, ST AUGUSTINE TO CHATTANOOGA TN
Long before dawn, we were awake, had the vehicle packed, travel coffee mugs ready, and took off before 6 am. It was still dark, but you could see the...
DAY 7 - Last Day in St Augustine
Early in the morning, we looked at the things we'd done in St Augustine, decided to catch up on anything we missed that we really wanted to do, and set out to do...
DAY 6 - HURRICANE? TROPICAL STORM? PREPPING FOR HELENE!
Our sixth day was mostly spent doing as much relaxing as we could. We debated whether we should leave and try to outrun Helene, but all...
To answer the above questions, everyone seemed to pronounce it "Saint AU-gus-teen." (Though I'd hear San-ah-GUS-tin periodically.) My favorite of the pronunciation changes is in Versailles. The...
DAY 4 - ST AUGUSTINE HISTORY
We began the morning on the upper deck of our lodging, Best Western Bayfront. Some rooms had bay view, but we chose not to get one because of the expense and because...
Don't we just love it when the DOT wants 5 lanes to merge into 1?

A beautiful tree, up close:

We (husband and I) just got back from a 12-day trip back to Florida. This was the trip we promised ourselves, to return to Saint Augustine to explore it further. On the return trip, we stopped to...
Be aware, at the intersection of I-24 and I-75, there is a lot of construction that will cause delays. I-75 in Atlanta - if there are two people, you can use the HOV lanes and they help a LOT. If you...
Please heed the advice given to you. Fuel stations that have fuel, power to run them, and the connection to the computers, can be few and far between in many areas. Hubby and I ran into that as we...
At least for those fly-drives, or when you fly into an area prone to wild fires. Airlines also used to be really helpful with putting you up overnight if you had a flight delayed, getting you meal...
I have read that AirBnB gets into a lot of issues with travelers in regards to many things, refunds being a good percentage of them. Was that your whole stay or "just" a deposit?
I know they're...
As I read about the fires, I thought about you and your trip. So sorry you had to cancel, but happy that all were issuing refunds. That's more than half the battle, there.
Planning on anything as...
I would have to do some research -- I'd forgotten about this created thread (it's 7 years old).
According to what I just googled, Chili's senior discount varies by location, as does the lighter...
If I recall, a Sprinter van is over 8 feet tall, correct? That may pose a little problem in historic Philadelphia: parking garages are not built for a tall vehicle. We have a normal pick-up truck,...
You just mentioned it taking 5-6 hours to go from Mt Rushmore to Brighton CO. It's around 375 miles, which is more like a 6-8 hour trip. You'll have some two-lane roads, which means slower anyway,...
EZ Pass is good in Delaware, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
SunPass is good in...
I was going to say that whichever national park or monument you get to, first, that's where you should purchase your AtB pass. In most cases, if an NP or NM charges for entrance, they will have the...
The trip I referred to, in my previous post, was back in 2017.
This is my personal log. It starts you as we began to go around Olympic on the eastern side, up to Sequim, around to the western...
First, Olympic NP is absolutely gorgeous. Hurricane Ridge, especially. But after you get to Seattle, try to find out from the National Park if the Canadian fires are obliterating the views at...
My husband and I have done parts of that, mentioned in AZBuck's post. Plus we have used I-95 (Hmmmm.....) to get through NC and SC. Posts 7 through 10 show our visits to Kitty Hawk, the Outer Banks,...
Just a word of caution -- GTSR is very, very popular and can get very, very congested at peak times of the day. Getting to St Mary or the west entrance before 9 am is almost mandatory if you'd...
