Day 16 - Thursday, September 25
There was no breakfast at the motel so M&P went out foraging and we spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the rocking chairs with doughnuts and coffee.It was a glorious, warm early autumn morning and there were birds and ducks around the river - so we were in no hurry to leave. At one point I was startled by something flying at me very fast and stopping just a couple of feet short - it took a second or two to realise that it was a hummingbird. A nice encounter.
The drive south back to Atlanta took us alongside the Tuckasegee river for quite a few miles at the start - beautiful wooded country in the southern part of the Great Smoky Mountains.
But after that it was motorway all the way to the airport where we said goodbye to M&P at the terminal. Their flight was a couple of hours before ours.
And when we checked in we were again pleased to find that we had been allocated business class seats. On an overnight flight it's great to have a flatbed seat and it was a very welcome end to the trip.
