Need Suggestions, Traveling from Charleston SC to New England
I'm planning a road trip with my husband for May 12-20 and need some suggestions. In the past we've spent a lot of time on the Blue Ridge Parkway but we've never ventured further than Roanoke, VA. Needless to say I'm clueless when it comes to traveling in and to New England but I'm super excited. I've got a few specific questions and I've listed some things we like and don't like. Any helpful suggestions or tips appreciated, thanks in advance!
- Any recommended routes?
- Are there any routes or unsafe areas we should avoid?
-
Since we only have a few days to work with, would it be better to spend the first couple and last couple days driving, and stay in a central location taking day trips during the week?
-
Our trips are usually pretty laid back, we aren't adrenaline junkies.
-
In the past, many of our trips have revolved around food. Since our last trip though, we've gone on a mostly vegan diet and would like to stick to that the best we can.
-
We aren't into sports besides maybe hiking, canoe, or kayaking.
-
We enjoy nature/mountains/waterfalls but not particularly strenuous hikes.
-
We tend to avoid large cities, and prefer quaint downtown areas with shopping/antiquing/local food.
-
We plan on staying in Airbnbs during our trip.
-
We wouldn't mind going to a festival or event on our trip but tend to avoid large overwhelming crowds if possible.
-
We love photography.
-
We aren't too much into politics or US history but we'd still enjoy art or natural history museums.
-
Some of our favorite stops on trips have included botanical gardens or animal sanctuaries.
-
We prefer local flavor over touristy attractions but we'll indulge if it's a must see.
-
With our limited time frame we know we will barely be grazing the tip of the iceberg so we'll probably plan follow up trips in the future, but if you had 5 days to work with what would be the top 5 places you'd recommend visiting considering our preferences?
