I debated whether I should even post anything for today. However, even “nothing new” is often worthy of reporting.
We left the Dayton area this morning at 8AM with 48 Young at Heart people destined for Savannah, Georgia via Diamond Tours. We have a great driver, Doug Porter. He is helpful, friendly and courteous. All good qualities for a man who will more or less be responsible for our well being (safe driver) through this week.
We stopped for lunch in the Cracker Barrel at Corbin, KY. The service there was extremely good. This is the main reason for choosing Cracker Barrel so often during our time on the road. They can handle a bus load with relative speed and have us on our way again, in no time.
We were expected to stop again for dinner along the way to Flat Rock, NC; however I chose to push on to Flat Rock and our resting place at the Mountain Inn, primarily because it would be close to dinner time when we arrive, so why not take advantage of several choices to eat. Again, one choice was Cracker Barrel and the others were Waffle House and Zaxby’s Chicken. Neither of the later could handle the bus load but the combination gave some people the option of something different. More than half of the group chose for the low end eating places but Cracker Barrel was outstanding. I also heard that the chicken place went over pretty well with those who chose to go there.
Our evening stay in the Mountain Inn is also very nice. The rooms are nicely appointed and spacious. Tomorrow, we’ll see how their breakfast checks out. But, so far, I would give a high five to the Mountain Inn.
Tomorrow, we press on to Savannah. We’ll leave here at 8:30AM and arrive at our hotel for the Savannah stay around 3PM.
The good news it that so far, everyone is doing very well. God is Good.
Hopefully, we will start posting photos, tomorrow; or at least on Tuesday, after the real touring begins.
