This web page depicts our driving journey, some issues we saw alongside the best way, somes tools we used to get from Naperville to Orlando, and my traditional ramblings alongside the way.

For this journey on the way in which to Orlando, Florida, we had been planning to stop in Knoxville, Tennessee, Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida (This stop was vital do to the very fact our resort reservations in Orlando were from Tuesday through Sunday and we began our journey on Saturday.) It additionally made sense, since we stopped and visited family in Jacksonville and didn’t have to stay in a hotel.

Metropolis, Illinois is positioned on the Ohio river on Interstate 24 just north of Paducah, Kentucky. Metropolis has a on line casino and never too far is Fort Massac. If I had been the Metropolis chamber of commerce, I’d look to have a statue of every super hero and a store for each tremendous hero. Who would not want to visit the Wonder Ladies retailer, or a retailer devoted to Aquaman, Batman and Robin, or the Green Lantern.

Now we have had our portable DVD player for years and just love it for lengthy trips. If you don’t have one in your automobile, there are lots of portable fashions.

The screens cling from the again of the seats and supply an ideal distraction on the long journeys.

As we travel, we are at all times on the lookout for something unique that you don’t discover at every exit of the freeway. Simply over the Tennessee line in Calhoun, Georgia, we found a retailer that sells over 100 flavors of popcorn referred to as Popcorn Haven After we stopped, we tried the dark chocolate popcorn, the white cheddar popcorn, and the cola popcorn. I appreciated the cola popcorn the perfect as the flavour jogged my memory of the cola bottlecaps. My youngsters nevertheless, favored the chocolate popcorn. The popcorn was excellent and with over 97 different flavors to attempt, we might be stopping there once more.
