Thanks, Hot Springs looks amazing! I've been to Philly before, but might go there again if time permits. :)

Any chance you can visit Graceland? I know it's tacky, but cool, too. Somehow.

I can if I adapt my route! Have you been there?

Places I would recommend that are within driving distance of Gainesville include:

- Memphis, TN
- Washington, D.C.
- New Orleans, LA
- Atlanta, GA

I would HIGHLY recommend New Orleans, and it's only 8 hours from Gainesville and super easy to get to, 75 North to I-10 West.

If you haven't been to Ichetucknee Springs, you should go with some friends!

Travelling alone is not a problem at all in the US. I just came back from a two-month trip through the Northeast of this big, huge country and had an excellent time.

Hey!! Thanks for all the advice!! It looks like I won't be driving up to Maine anymore because the workshop was fully booked, but I'm still going to be roadtripping. I'll definitely check out those sites you mentioned!! :)
