"Donna, we'll be practically neighbors!"
Not exactly ... more like 500 miles!
I live in middle Tennessee, about a hundred miles west of Nashville. But my daughter & sister in law live in a suburb of Charleston, SC and we go through that way when we go to visit them. We go on I-40 into NC, then get on I-26 that goes down through NC into SC and all the way in to Charleston. I'm not sure how close Charlotte is to I-26. We don't get down there as often as I would like but we'll have to see if we can maybe arrange a meet up next time we go!
