Sunday 21st Sept - Bye bye Atlanta.

We said our fond farewells to Susan and left Atlanta in warm, sunny conditions. Once on the I85 it was just a matter of selecting cruise control and sitting back for the next 7 hours/450 miles! My pin in the map had located a town called Henderson just south of the Virginia border which we set ourselves as the target for the night. However when we got to Henderson it turned out to be a two-bit town with some fairly basic looking hotels/motels. In her inimitable way Christine made it clear that these were not up to the mark, so we pressed on! Needless to say they looked okay to me! We eventually stopped just over the border in Virginia at a newish hotel just off the interstate which met with Christine's exacting standards.
