I am thinking of taking a week or so and fly south. Would appreciate any
recommendations of places to go, esp. interesting scenary or historical
interest (that is near an airport.....).

As another poster suggested, the outer banks of North Carolina have a lot to
offer someone with access to an airplane. It's a great tourist destination, and
rather inaccessible by car, but easy to reach by plane.

Of course there's all the hoopla about the centennial of flight. That might be a
reason to go there, or a reason to avoid it, depending on your preference. If
your flight is during the centennial celebration, look out for presedential
TFRs, as Bush is expected to attend.

FFA - First Flight airport at the Wright Brothers Memorial
MQI - Manteo, Roanoke Island, near FFA but more services available
HSE - Hatteras, the town had a lot of damage from the hurricane, needs tourist
money.
W95 - Ocracoke Island, my favorite. Lots of food and lodging within walking /
bicyling distance, bicycle rentals available.
MRH - Beaufort, food and lodging a short cab ride from the airport.

It's a little out of your way for your westerly destination, but you won't
regret the detour.

Oh the irony is too brutal. I'm sure he'll have some prepared remarks
for the occation. If Dubya's speechwriters are reading might I
suggest including something about how if the Wright brothers were to
attempt their experiment in that spot 100 years later they'd be
breaking the law and they'd be deemed an immediate threat to the
President and dealt with accordingly.
