We are off to Tennessee tomorrow morning. I actually bought my tickets online through Travelocity and we will be traveling on Delta Airlines connecting in Atlanta. Believe it or not, I have never traveled on Delta and I am very excited to see what they have to offer. After all, since I plan to be a famous "Travel Critic" someday, I better start paying attention to detail while I am actually traveling. I usually use travel time to completely zone out, but this time everyone better be on their toes, because here comes Annie, the soon-to-be much feared Travel Critic. (Okay Jay, you can stop laughing now!!) My hubby calls me "Annie Ego", after the not so beloved food critic, "Anton Ego" from Disney's Ratatouille.
The main focus of the trip is to visit family in Nashville, but we will all be headed to the Great Smoky Mountains for some much needed R&R in a beautiful cabin in the woods. How cool is that? This is also going to be one of those trips where we try to implement our amateur photographic abilities and get some really great pictures. So, I am being told I will be out of touch this weekend as there is no Internet access available up at the cabin. We shall just see about that!!! Isn't there a Starbucks like every 100 feet now?
Well Miss Annie Ego, since I wasn't warned in advance, I truly enjoyed our conversation on the flight to Atlanta. As you may have guessed, I missed the shuttle, and I'm typing this in the waiting area of the South Terminal. Actually, I got there before the shuttle left, but they had just filled the last seat. BUMMER! But, it's not all bad because now I have time to browse your blog. (I already checked out the sculptures on te beach... excellent use for a Plymouth!)
Have a great time in Gatlinburg! Here's a link and kind of a guided tour of the Roaring Fork Motor Nature trail. Enjoy!

You might also want to check out the Park Grill http://www.parkgrillgatlinburg.com/
or the Cherokee Grill
http://www.cherokeegrill.com/ for dinner. (What's with the Grill thing?)
Look forward to reading your blog AFTER the trip!
Take care!

Hey, I know how addictive the internet is, so enjoy a break from it while you're able. Where you're going sounds absolutely idyllic.
You hold onto to your dream, too, when I've sitting by the pool at my villa in Crete, perhaps I can guest on your column;-D
