I have a fantastic suggestion as i just got back from NC. I'm from Ft. Lauderdale too, so i know waht you mean about getting away from it all. We drove to Ashville and then NW to Robbinsville. Route 129 and US 28 was the most magnificent drive i've ever taken. Twisties and turns, and waterfalls, looking over Fontana Dam. It goes from Robbinsville, NC into Gatlinburg TN. There were lots of campsites all along both routes. Some fantastic photo opportunities and blissful beauty!
