Sweet Tea Travels: A Travel guide to the Southeast
Beginning
with my home state of Georgia,
While I don’t arrange transportation or lodging (there are plenty of other sites to do that, including some of my advertisers), this site will help you figure out what you’d most enjoy seeing and doing during your visit.
If you don’t see your destination listed, bookmark this site and check back. I’ll be touring the South and adding pages as quickly as I can.
And if you take a trip using my advice, I’d like to know how it went.
Books set in the South
Ever wanted to match your kids' reading to your travels? Try clicking on "The South in Books", a new section on sweet-tea-travels.com. You'll find lists by state, and brief reviews of books for kids that are set in the South. Happy readers make happy backseat travelers!

Getting around the Southeast
By car: Roads are well-marked and well-maintained. Generally traffic is heavy only in major cities. For car rental rate comparisons try online sites like Hotwire.
By train: Amtrak follows 2 scheduled routes south from Washington, DC, to Miami or to New Orleans. And from Chicago, a southerly route leads through Memphis to New Orleans.
By inter-city bus: Greyhound offers service across the South, although not to every town.
By local bus and subway: Within major cities there are bus and/or subway systems; however, service is in limited areas. See individual cities for more information.
