If you get a free day and want to take an incredbile drive, try the Tail of the Dragon along 129/Calderwood Hwy. If you start on the west side in Maryville, TN its a 2 hour or so drive through the mountains and forests along a beautiful two lane winding road. Fall is an awesome time to drive the Dragon. Weekends are crowded and there’ll be some people driving way too fast. Just be prepared to pull over every so often and let the speed junkies go on past.

As you go through AZ and New Mexico try and track down Navajo Tacos. Some of the best eating out there.

Lots of great things here. Happy to help you get settled and comfortable. Email in profile.

This is an amazing place to live and you will not be dissappointed.

I go to Greensboro every month, about 1.5 hours from Charlotte. Get ready for a significantly lower cost of living. It’s cold here now and it’s snowed this winter. Was told it doesn’t snow every winter, though.

Pit Stop BBQ in Sonora & Franklin's BBQ in Austin were both exceptional.

Collector's Firearms in Austin was also impressive to wonder thru.

Heading to New Orleans then Pensacola to visit the Museum of Naval Aviation before turning North towards Charlotte.

Thanks EVERYONE for your suggestions & welcomes!!!

Interstate 10. Did it the other way around a couple of years ago. From Tallahassee to New Orleans.

If you're heading across 10 out of NO, then stop off in Mobile and visit the USS Alabama for a break, it's a great place especially if you are into WW2 history.

IF you don't stop just look south off of the 10 as you begin to approach the bridge over the bay..

I’m in Charlotte, reach out if you have any questions once you get settled!




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.
