International Travel Suggestions

Travel Note

New Orleans New Year’s Eve

Spending NYE in New Orleans. The home of jazz, this city loves to throw a party year round, but ringing in the new year here is a fantastic option for international travelers. Experience the food, culture, music, and history of the Big Easy. Don’t worry there will be plenty of goodies and coffee at places like Cafe Du Monde https://shop.cafedumonde.com to soak up the evening in the home of brunch! In addition to NYE festivities, the walking the Ghosts and ‘Spirits’ tour around the French Quarter, is fantastic storytelling at its best. Here’s the link: https://abnb.me/RV0FMtE4yrb

Asheville, North Carolina

Asheville, North Carolina is home to a creative food and beverage scene, but is also a picturesque nature lover’s dream. Painted against the landscape of the Appalachian Mountains, Biltmore Estate and Winery, the largest privately owned home and property in the United States was designed by the Vanderbilt family during the Reconstruction Era following the end of the Civil War. https://www.biltmore.com

Travel Note

Kentucky

Did some say Bourbon? Why I do declare, you should blaze the bourbon trail and see home of the Kentucky Derby and the famed drink, mint julep.

Travel Note

Huntsville, Alabama

Christopher and I both wanted to be astronauts when we were growing up. Didn’t happen but at least now he can get to space camp! The Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Al is well worth a visit for any future space cadet! Also a great stop on the way to Birmingham, Al if you’re looking to see the steel city.

Travel Note

Tennessee
