Greetings from Chattanooga! We’re driving between Chicago and Tampa for the winter and doing our snowbird thing. It was a long day in the car and we have another tomorrow. I hope you all are having a more exciting weekend. In travel news, we saw lots of new routes and some get cut, some gorgeous new hotels on the way, and my festive memories of Halloween 2023 at Dracula’s Castle, plus much more.
