Dixie Bound

This week we are taking a vacation, and we're heading south.  Specifically we're going to Gatlinburg, TN and Savannah, GA.  We have a timeshare resort in both cities.  We love Gatlinburg because of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park where we like to explore the hiking trails into the woods.  When one gets away from the crowds, the mountains seem like a place untouched by humans, except of course for the trail on which one is walking.

Savannah, on the other hand, is a place we've never visited before.  Our resort is right in town, so our plan is to spend a day strolling through the old town, getting a taste of its charm, perhaps planning a return trip with more time.

Biltmore Estate

One more highlight of this trip, while we're in Gatlinburg, will be a visit to Biltmore, the extravagant mansion of the Vanderbilts in Asheville, NC.

We're never good at taking pictures, but I will try to make a great effort to take photos of this trip and include them here in a summary blog of our vacation.

Later this month, I plan to take a solo motorcycle trip to northern Michigan, using another timeshare resort as my base while making daily excursions around the beautiful northwestern corner of the mitten.  I did this trip last year, and despite cool, wet weather I had a marvelous time.  I'll try to take pictures here too.

Thanks for reading.
