Road trip suggestions from NY/NJ

Folks,

I want to take a week long road trip and head south from NY/NJ with the M and the better half. What do you folks recommend? I am looking to drive via Shenandoah, Smoky Mountains, Memphis and back.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Another recommendation for Asheville-Tennessee region in the mountains. Cherohala is the best road I've driven yet. Had it mostly empty first thing in the morning and really had a blast there. Well worth the trip.

OK! All set then. I will leave tomorrow. Will post the pics when I can. I have already been to Luray twice, so I may skip the skyline drive via Shenondoah, and hit blue ridge directly.

Awesome! Hope you got Cherohala without much traffic. Looking forward to your photos and writeup (hopefully..).

That was the only regret! I couldn't get to Cherohala. I underestimated Blue Ridge Parkway and spent like 2 days on it. I will do the write up and share some photos over the weekend.
