[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raleigh and especially Greensboro are hours out of the way and not worth the detour.

There’s nothing good on the way and except for Richmond the hotels will all be crappy cheap chains[/quote]

Again, depends on your travel style. She's asking to potentially take days to get somewhere that's drivable in a day, which allows time for detours. We purposely went to Greensboro "on the way to" Wilmington, so I'm speaking from an actual experience that I enjoyed.

Greensboro or Raleigh split driving time roughly in half. Given traffic, going to Savannah via Greensboro even comes up as an option in Google maps, depending on when you leave. Plus, to some of us, it's way less fun to take the same route there and back.[/quote]

OP here. We're into slow travel. Long stretches of non-stop driving aren't optimal because of back problems.

There's some good tips here thanks. Honestly, we're the type of people who can find interesting things in places that don't hit the top ten tourist lists. I don't want to write off three whole states as "nothing good". We also like to take hikes along the way and look at obscure historical markers and graveyards even.

My MIL makes this argument.  So you would rather do more driving and stay at mostly uncomfortable hotels than just suck it up, take more breaks and get to your destination?  Just fly to Savannah or HHI if it is that big of a deal.[/quote]

Flying is a completely different experience from a road trip. Why can't people accept this is what OP wants to do?[/quote]

Because we have brains and their isn’t a road trip to be had outside of the close in vicinity of their destination.

“I want to go Savannah but I am going spend more time getting there and back because it is easier on my back.”

OP has some grand delusion and people are giving her a reality check.

Why are you fighting about something so minor? [/quote]

Not fighting.  People who clearly suck at traveling/planning feel the need to chime in when they have no concept of reality.[/quote]

Why can't people on DCUM accept that other people are different from them? I don't even have back problems and often prefer traveling OP's way. I offered suggestions in that vein, which OP is free to take or leave.

She probably thinks some of the suggestions are boring or too far out of the way, but she's also capable of taking all the advice in this thread and running it through her own filters without insulting anyone.[/quote]
