Well, My Girlfriend Gina is in on the plan now. I had to tell her
because i almost forgot that she can't go for long drives in cars
without getting sick. Also - she completely made me remember that my
father has a "bladder" problem. No big deal - he just has to go every
couple hours without interruption. I went on to google maps and tried
to google up South Carolyna to find the best route (looks like we will
be driving) and did you know that the entire state didnt come up? I
had to search for North Carolina and that came up - so then I just
scrolled down.
Any way looks like 95 goes right through NC.......looks like we may
have to travel to the west a bit and go around. Anyway - My GF
suggested that we tell them to pack for a two day trip down to VA, and
leave at night. We'll keep driving - they will be asleep - and should
be in SC before they wake. This also helps with my fathers bladder
problem since he is okay at night.
Sechumlib - I dont think you need a visa in the USA - esepcially for
car travels. I'll check though - thanks for the heads up!!!
Jim Davis - I know what you mean, but i think the surprise will be
worth the risk of them getting sick of driving and not knowing where
to.
Now the only problem i have is finding a good hotel to stay. Where
would you recommend we stay in the town?
