Day 1, To Nashville, Tennessee (Sep. 29, 2011)

Flew from Halifax to Newark then on to Nashville, arriving at the Gaylord Opryland Resort around noon.

What a place! Over 2800 rooms! Even a river meanders inside the resort, all under glass, complete with a boat or two taking people around the facility. Must have cost several billions in construction to put it all together.

I (Ted) was constantly getting lost.  Michelle had a much better sense of direction.

At about 3pm we took a shuttle bus to downtown Nashville, about 30 minutes away.  We spent a couple hours around Broadway St. where most of the action and Honky Tonks are.  We had dinner there before heading back to the resort for a "meet and greet".  The afternoon was very hot at about 30 deg. C.
