We drove to Taormina, Sicily from southern Italy via ferry. Didn’t plan to stay the night but liked it so much we did. Absolutely beautiful city.

UT, Knoxville for game

Driving to Knoxville from Nashville area for Kennesaw Game because wife’s cousin plays for ksu. Anyone have tips on parking or shuttle to Neyland Stadium. We are staying 15 minutes west of campus and were thinking of driving downtown to catch shuttle. Not really familiar with Knoxville.
Big Island: Night snorkel with manta rays and cliff jump/green sands beach at southpoint.

Thinking of trip to Croatia in June for wife and I. Probably stay in Split and Dubrovnik for a couple of days each. Anyone have experience with the area? Any experience with day trips from either city.

There is a restaurant on Friars Bay beach that’s amazing. Cash only and open a few days a week. We always go to L’Atelier too.

Easy to visit Anguilla or St Barts from St Martin.

Thanks, just checking. We are looking for options. Miss the days of riding our bikes to LSU campus for tailgate action.

Vanderbilt game

Where will all the LSU fans be before game? We are from Baton Rouge but live in Nashville area now. Plan to drive up to visit family in town for game but wanted to check on LSU related activities.

Moteleone Pool after Red Dress run a few years ago was one of the best parties ever. Haha
We drove to Kona from Hilo over the mountain after a football game. It was little scary at night but we survived.
We have always rented a car. I suggest a reputable company to avoid scams.

Maho Beach is fun experience. Scoobi Too was fun catamaran trip to Anguilla.

Pinel Island is nice. You may want to make a reservation for lunch to make sure you can get lounge chairs and a lobster.

Orient Beach has some good restaurants and a big beach.
Night snorkel with mantas is must do. Its amazing. We went to Green Sand Beach and South Point. South Point is southern most part of US. Jump off the cliff into ocean at South Point. Climb back up the ladder.

We stayed near Chania last year. It was close enough to drive to the city for wine, food tour and to explore. It was a good base but we had rental car. We did Elafonisi Beach. Did the gorge hike. Hike was a long day but worth it.

If you want a tour book it fast. They fill up quickly. We stayed in Versailles. It’s near Lexington. We did Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, and Buffalo Trace in a day. Really liked Buffalo Trace and Woodford. Makers was good because we had a tour but it is in middle of nowhere.
