Going to Nashville

I am getting on an airplane next Wednesday. Bleah. I'd almost rather have a tooth pulled.

We'll spend five days exploring the city to see if it's a good fit for us. If it passes muster on first visit, we'll go back and poke around some more.

I've done no traveling to speak of for three years. I do not enjoy travel. When we get there I should be all right, though. Time to make lists.

I keep trying to research the city and the metro and constantly gravitate back to the transit agency website. They have a city loop you can ride for free! A reduced-fare unlimited monthly pass for seniors is $44. But not free...

I live about 2 hours from Nashville. For a large city, it is pretty good as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a native of Tennessee so you can be sure that I don't say this out of loyalty. The people are hospitable and there's more to do there than just listening to country music. I hope you have a blast.

Thanks. The most exciting thing we have planned (so far) is a trip to the light installation at Cheekwood. Our loose plan is to look at Nashville at work during the week and at play during the weekend. That and seeing how the transit system works. We're not getting any younger and it would be a comfort to have the bus as an option. I know we can't expect the web of frequent buses etc that Philadelphia offers.
