Leaving Nashville – Natchez Trace – New Orleans

We left Nashville Today. As Drew mentioned before, we both had our own rooms at the Hutton Hotel, which I have to say was nothing but a great experience. The staff, the rooms and just whole vibe of the place was awesome. Here are some pictures of the hotel I pulled from their website.

Here’s one of us at the bar.

If you ever go there, get the burger. They must have been sautéed in butter, glazed with some kind of thousand island/cream sauce, gently salted, then spit on by Megan Fox.

They were really THAT good.

Me in the lobby satisfied after my burger.

So not only are we funding the trip by exchanging video services for hotels like this, but we are also going to compile those video into a short documentary highlighting some of the best places to stay across the country. There is a chance that the travel channel might pick it up for either their website or on air. We’ll see.

After Nashville, we started our 10 hour drive to New Orleans. The Natchez trace runs most of the distance between the two cities, so we drove down that the majority of the way. It’s a secluded historical road that only has two lanes. I saw it in a book of the top 100 places to see in the world. It didn’t disappoint. There are no stores, shops, gas stations, or anything for over 200 miles. Just open road. We took a few pictures and some video. (Check under the Blue Ridge Mountains post for a new video I put up)

I’m not sure what to say about this other than it is what it is…

And here is just a short video of the road. Nothing too exciting.

We just got into our hotel in New Orleans and like what we see so far. We’re gonna go walk around French Quarter tonight…
