Fly into New Bern (KEWN) and eat at the Harvey Mansion. There is a near
by Sheraton or you could get a room at the Mansion. The meal expense
will leave some dollars in your pocket but is very good food. There is
limo service in the city and the ride from the airport would be only
5-10 minutes.


I would also second the Asheville area. There are some excellent places
to eat downtown. The airport is a 12 mile ride to the downtown area or
if you really like to spend some money the Grove Park Inn has a spa and
all the things ladies like.
