I'll be in Northwest Atlanta, Cobb Galleria Centre, next week for a few days for a work conference. I have never been. Does anybody have any places, food wise, bars, etc. to see while I am there?

Just got back from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge on Sunday. Had a good time. Not the most flashy of destinations, but still a cool place.

Definitely the best way to put it. I like the area too. Been awhile since I've visited, but I've wanted to take the family for the last several years. Cabins in the mountains are typically real nice.wildcats20;1823127 wrote:Just got back from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge on Sunday. Had a good time.

When you are in the middle of nowhere without trees and hills/mountains, that scenery is missed A LOT!

Definitely. Also get to miss the post election news cycle, I'm envious. Have a great time over there.like_that;1822789 wrote:Yup, I am ok with missing a couple games for a winless team though, while I am out of country.

Being in Ireland during this election has been awesome.
Trying to limit my social media exposure.
It's also cracked me up, probably a dozen Irish people, after they figure out we are American, have said in an exciting voice, "hey Donald trump, congratulations!" And my gf is a huge Hillary supporter and was practically in tears hearing the news trump won. Lol
She's going to murder someone soon.

Yeah, we rented a cabin from Cabins For You. It was actually in Sevierville(sp?). About a 5 minute drive to Gatlinburg once you get down from the cabin to Parkway.OSH;1823158 wrote:Definitely the best way to put it. I like the area too.

We didn't do too much, which was fine with me. We spent the day Friday mainly on Gatlinburg. Did some wine and moonshine tastings. I was there as a little kid and the only thing I remember is the Medieval Times style dinner thing we did. But I didn't see that this time, not sure if it's gone or what?
We will probably make a return trip in the coming years, as it's easy to get to and relatively cheap.

I'm staying at a house in the middle of the Nantahala Forest in NC for the next 4 days. No cell phone service, no television, and 30 minutes to the nearest (small) grocery store. Going to do a lot of hiking during the day and drink a lot of alcohol by the fire pit at night.OSH;1823158 wrote:Definitely the best way to put it. I like the area too.

Booked a house for Stowe, VT over MLK weekend. I've never been, looking forward to it.
Still deciding on a trip for late spring, definitely somewhere warm.

16? Damn no way I'm doing that straight through. I have to drive 10 hours and that almost all I can do.

8-9 is my max. My dad lives outside of Raleigh and the drive there is about all I can handle, which is about 8.5.like_that;1829639 wrote:Fuck driving anything over 5 hours for me. I rather fly. Props to you road warriors.

Headed to Vegas from the 14th to the 18th of next month. It'll be my first time trying out AirBnB. Got a condo just off the strip for a friggin' steal.
Anyone else used them? Any bad experiences? Good ones?

I've used it in Nashville, Miami, New Orleans, and Gulf Shores. Never had an issue. The Miami condo was a hell of a deal, ended up being essentially a penthouse South Beach shoreside for 4 nights, $1500 split three ways.O-Trap;1829665 wrote:Headed to Vegas from the 14th to the 18th of next month.

Otrap-bnb is great. I've never had a bad experience with them other than what I've done and they just charged me for it. For example, not taking out the trash, drinking their liquor, etc
I pretty much only use Bnb now.
