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...

All I know is that I grew up in Michigan and though that was the worst humidity could get. And when we got to Nashville, I was never more miserable in my life. The air was so thick I could barely breathe and just moving around outside the AC was agony. Me and my metabolism hated Nashville. The last time we visited a couple of years ago, the weather was more reasonable and we were able to wander around Cheekwood very comfortably.
The light show looks quite lovely. Enjoy! (And take pictures, please?)

I have a friend from the South who refers to Nashville as part of the "swelter belt."
