Everything is packed and good to go for the first few days of the trip. First drive is expected to be about 9 hours. I don't expect to do too many of these long 8+ hour rides, but I've been down to this area a million times and I'm not looking to make too many stops. Once I get down there I'll check out some of the local attractions and get a taste of the local fare. I expect to see 7 Bojangles on the way down. If I'm lucky maybe a Biscuitville! Another focus of my visit to this area will be to see if I can get a handle on an interesting bee study being conducted by the University. (watch the first video)

Hope you find some cheap gas! There's a Pilot on I-81 at exit 150 north of Roanoke and a couple Flying-Js in Wytheville.
Also, be sure to take I-26 off I-81 in Tennessee and travel over the mountain into NC. A beautiful entrance into a great State. Stop in the brand new visitors center at the base of the mountain and get yourself a map of NC. GPS is great for point-to-point, but you can't beat a map for getting the BIG picture.
Dad is right, there is an excellent visitor center off of I-26 (great landscaping). He is also right about NC being a great state and yes, I do have running water...but only after 7 PM.
Looks like you've made a good start, waiting for your call.
