Travel in Style
Southerners have become a jet-settin’ crowd. Whether it’s a plane, train, or automobile, we love anything that keeps us moving. In San Antonio, we tour the vibrant River Walk by boat, taking in the sights at a lazy float. In historic New Orleans, we make our way through town on old-style streetcars. Riders board the Tweetsie Railroad’s steam train to chug through the mountains of North Carolina. Everyone, though, needs to book passage on a riverboat and ride the currents of the mighty Mississippi.

Literary Ramblings
Want to take a walk on the literary side? Visit the Florida home and farm that inspired Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings to write The Yearling, or smell the flowers in Eudora Welty’s family garden in Jackson, Mississippi. You can invite yourself into William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak in Oxford, or sit on the porch of Alex Haley’s boyhood home in Henning, Tennessee. But for the ultimate literary experience, attend a performance of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird at the courthouse in Monroeville, Alabama.
