Last week I hopped on a plane to attend the Travel Media Showcase in Montgomery, Alabama. Not knowing what to expect, I was shocked at all the rolling green hills and beautiful landscaping as we flew in.

After 3 days in the deep South,I was quite impressed, and had a great time. The Southern hospitality, the picture-perfectness of the clean city and the food were all notable highlights.

On my “Glitz, Glamour and Guitars” tour we explored the nostalgia of the Hank Williams museum, the sophistication of the Montgomery Museum of Art and creativeness of The Shakespeare Theater.

For a taste of true Southern food, we headed to the infamous Dreamland BBQ for pork ribs and mac n’ cheese, and had a meal catered by Chef  Todd Noble of 2 different restaurants; Nobles and Olives. I tried grits for the first time,and sampled fried green tomatoes, fried chicken and different variations of Southern fish.

Next up, we headed to Birmingham…
