Asheville is 2 hours east of Fontana Lake, Santeetlah Lake and Snowbird.
It has an airport, but I've heard connections through there can be
expensive. I wouldn't fly into and drive out of Atlanta if I had a
choice...much like the release of a magnificent bowel movement after
days of constipation, making one's way out of Atlanta can be a strained
and unpleasant processs... g

I have very vivid memories of Hotlanta traffic, so I think I'll
pass. :-} I'll look into Asheville, as it looks like the drive would
be a pleasant one. Knoxville is also an option, but I never enjoyed
driving through there either. (Is Malfunction Junction still as bad as
ever?)

Thanks for your help.
