Southeast USA Roadtrip - Asheville, North Carolina and on to Chicago

6/10/2019

17 Comments

 
We are headed back to Chicago, but we are taking the indirect route through Asheville, North Carolina so that we can see our niece, Lydia, and her boyfriend, Pete. An added plus is the food and brewery scene in Asheville.

We meet up with Lydia and Pete at our hotel in downtown Asheville around 5PM and walk to Bouchon, a farm-to-table French restaurant. Reservations are not accepted and we luck out, quickly getting a table by arriving early on a Monday evening. Fantastic pate, French onion soup, steaks, and fish are served to us by a knowledgeable waiter.

As the evening is young, we find a brewery/bar a few blocks away and continue our conversation over drinks. Then we walk around downtown a bit to find dessert. The French Broad Chocolate Lounge has a long waiting line so we walk down the block to their French Broad Chocolate Cookies and Creamery. There are no tables inside so we take our ice cream, chocolates and coffees across the street and find benches in the park. This also allows us to enjoy the beautiful evening while we devour delicious treats and continue our conversation.

We stroll to our hotel and sit on the patio talking until near midnight. A wonderful evening!

Tuesday morning we’re a little groggy as we have coffee/tea in the hotel lobby before hitting the road. We start the return trip with delays. Yuk! Traffic on I40 through the Smokey Mountains is all backed up due to road construction.

Later in the day as we cross over the Ohio River from Kentucky into Indiana we assess our progress and check the clock. We could make it to Chicago tonight, but we’re already starting to get tired. A look at the Marriott app identities a number of hotels in downtown Indianapolis. We quickly book the Residence Inn on the Canal Walk where we spend a restful night (and have time to go for a nice dinner before retiring).

​Our Southeastern USA roadtrip comes to a close after 15 days. It’s been a great time seeing friends, family and this part of the country.

Travel is a hobby of many people. Many people Travel weekly, someone travels monthly and other travel yearly. I think it is important to maintain health because travel to the other place of the world brings a positive change in the thinking. Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

The Fiji Islands are really very steep. I would recommend that you use them for a family vacation or an active one, such as surfing. You can rent the boards or buy them in advance at the store

First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!

Right now it looks like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

People do not tour usually for the same purposes. Someone travels to advantage know-how and enjoy, a person travels for pride, someone travels for commercial enterprise purposes and so forth.
