Kitty, my idea of a summer vacation when I was well was Ontario Canada, extreme northwest corner of New York, or the Lake Erie coast line of Pa. Just never had the urge to go south when the legs were working.

Heat is also a big problem for me also, but snow or ice on the ground more so. LOL a long drive down I-75 through Georgia! I do and have always liked being independent, I can compromise but dislike having to pander to keep the peace.

Passed through some portion of Chattanooga on the way, didn`t seem to bad from the highway, neither did parts of northern Georgia. I don`t mind cold weather, just can`t have snow and ice trapping me indoors.

Sorry to hear about your husband, my problem was I wasn`t dying fast enough to please my soon to be ex.
