Road Trip

We are planning a mini road trip with friends for this summer. We are thinking Key West but I would like to see if we can do a road trip to Blue Ridge mountain in North Carolina. If anyone out there has been can you give me details?

Introduction

I am making an attempt at sharing my thoughts which I have never been good at. I figure since I am in online marketing that I should actually start participating in the world of online from a social networking standpoint. If I am going to do that I am going to talk about and share what has been a growing passion of mine for the last 2 years. Travel! The passion started with a small trip to Vegas, then San Francisco (favorite US city so far by the way. It is like a clean New York City), then LA, then Mexico, and then Rome. I just came back from Negril, Jamaica which I did not consider a ahah trip because my family comes from Jamaica. However once I got there and realized how different it was from the current state of where I live everyday I soon realized it did not matter. No matter where, no matter how close or far, travel has become my ultimate fix and escape from my everyday world. As long as I always have a trip scheduled I can wake up every morning with a little more excitement and something to look forward to. This is the ultimate high for me.
Not sure how you feel about travel and what it does to you but it actually touches me emotionally. I know that sounds corny but I really do feel at peace when I am on a plane headed to another place where whatever seems important or stressful in my life at the time becomes minute in the surroundings of my new environment.
The same day I came back from Negril I quickly booked a trip to London for December to get me through the day of getting back to the daily grind.
That is when it hit me that travel has become my trule love (behind my fiance of course who shares the same feeling of travel).
