If you don’t explode before you make it to Duplin County, I’d have to recommend “The Country Squire”, which is just out of Kenansville. The food is very good, but the physical building is something you really must see. I won’t spoil the adventure with more details, but will add that there’s a bed & breakfast in case you over do it or just simply like the place!

You didn’t mention Historic Hillsborough is in Orange County as well as Chapel Hill. There are 4 good restuarnts on Churton St (main street), plus you can take a walking tour of the historic sites and houses. Well worth the trip!

Wow, musicals, travelling, good food, photography, GSE/GSW where are you people hiding out? My interests are much the same. How is it that you afford the time and money to travel when you’d like? I’m trying to figure out how to see more of the world (especially where the main language isn’t English… though I’d love to go to Australia). I too would love to see the Northern Lights but unfortunately I was in Alaska in the spring/summer. Oh well, I like to use food as part of the travel both as a reason to go to a particular place as well as a way to vicariously travel to a land I’ve not been to yet. Good luck with the blog and well, you don’t have to run if it isn’t your thing.. I decided on racquetball.

I think that food is often one of those things we remember most about where we’ve been. If you really delve into the local cuisine, it can definitely enrich your travel experiences.
I recently saw the Northern Lights from the sky, on my way home from Beijing. While crossing over Alaska, the pilot told announced that there was a good view of the display from the left side of the plane. It was beautiful!
I love to travel too, and often write about my world travels on my blog, the Damian Daily at http://damiandaily.wordpress.com.
Good luck in your travels!
