Honestly, if you want to se the "South", you need to go to Charleston, SC or Savannah, GA. Amazing places. I hope direct fight is available.

I love GA! And I love the South! I hated living in Jacksonville though. Did not seem like the south to me at all. We jumped at the chance to move to Pensacola. I really enjoyed living there.

I love Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Walton. I've not spent too much time in Pensacola, but am sure I'd love it too.

You set aside a day to drive there, and another day to drive back home. I don't find being molested by TSA agents all that relaxing, honestly.

One hour flight vs day(s) of driving - molest me anytime! Plus who has 2 days to waste? We drove once to FL...oy, vey! And what are you doing for living so you can put 2 days aside for driving plus vacationing?

It gets pretty pricey flying four of us somewhere and back home again.

It gets pretty pricey flying four of us somewhere and back home again. Yeah now when gasoline is cheaper it is making sense but last year it was cheaper to fly. And there is always a way to find bargain tickets. It takes time. We went to Germany for $300 p/p roundrip by Lufthanza. Same time I sent my friends t Paris for $600 p/p all inclusive.
Lufthanza used to run this every year on Easter break. They might still do it.
Just FYI.

I love driving vacations. To me the trip is as enjoyable as the destination. July I'm planning on taking the kids to Yellowstone and it will be two days drive there and two days back. We'll stop at spots like the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore and go through the Black Hills. Hit Wall Drug just because. Maybe the Corn Palace. LOL

It depends where I'm going but when my options are 9+ hours of driving versus a 90 minute flight I am all about flying. I wish they had affordable flights into Knoxville because I hate that drive on I-81 with a passion. There's always a wreck, traffic jam, something adding 2 hours onto my 8 hour trip.

So you are one of those?

Zib,
Do you mean GA or Pensacola? Sorry I am a little dense this evening.

Okay, y'all, I've been to Nashville, Asheville, Charleston, Richmond, Hot Springs, Bentonville and a few more whose names I choose to forget. Freaks and saints in all including my beloved hometown of Houston. Been to most of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island too and they weren't bad-folks were super friendly there too. It has a whole lot to do with your attitude. Of course, I am currently best buds with the staff at my local stop-and-rob convenience stores who are from Pakistan, Kenya, Mumbai, Tunisia and Colombia. They are all awesome and dying to tell you their stories if you will take a minute to listen. And I don't talk funny , I talk Southern!
