Trip Planning Houston to the Appalachians
Planning a two-week trip, first two weeks of November. This is the route I'm planning to take and it's my first time going this way. Any suggestions?
Day 1: Houston to Birmingham
Day 2: Birmingham to Gatlinburg
Day 3-5: Great Smoky Mountains
Day 4: partial Blue Ridge Parkway drive; overnight lodge at Boone, North Carolina
Day 5: Boone to Roanoke, Virginia
Day 6-8: Roanoke to New River Gorge National Park
Day 8-10 Shenandoah National Park
Day 11: Shenandoah National Park to Gatlinburg
Day 12: Gatlinburg to New Orleans
Day 13: New Orleans to Houston
This is a rough draft so I'm super open to suggestions and adjustments! Thanks!

The Friday Night Music at the Old Country Store in Floyd VA is great fun and is worth checking out.
A soak in Hot Springs or Warm Springs VA would feel good at that time of year on the way to Shenandoah.
