Asheville is great in summer with Parkway and Biltmore House, Apple Festival in September in Henderonville, NC or October leaves peak second or third week, then gone. All the tourists are gone in November....locals mostly. At Christmas there are lights at big house, but it is not so much for tourism and cold here in Mountains by November.
Asheville is also very liberal....little San Francisco due to a Mayor in early eighties. Outside of Asheville there is great stuff to do and lots of hotls...mostly family events outside of tourist season. Our best hotel for downtown is where Zero stays ‘Grove Park Inn’.
I would agree that as a single older woman, if you have a single older female friend from anywhere...that you’all take a 3-5 day cruise to Bahamasor Caribbean, because hurricane season is over by Nov 1st.
The two of you could meet at the ship the day before and catch up before embarking on the adventure. A singles cruise would be great just make sure it’s for Seniors and not animal house for young people.
There are great Senior discounts and last minute deals like at ‘Vacations to Go’ website. I would leave out of Florida and enjoy the music and check on entertainment provided, some cruises have good deals on free money to spend on board. Holland, Norwegian, and some of the bigger cruise lines would have lots of people to mingle with....best wishes for Happy Thanksgiving.
yep, Asheville is for the summer and the leaf season in the fall….other than that, it’s cold and very bohemian liberal…..I would not recommend for Thanksgiving unless you really had your heart set on the Christmas decorations at Biltmore.
I don’t have a friend available to do this with, sadly. So I am looking for an idea where I wont stand out too badly.

I kind of wondered about that. Thank you.
