After the most boring 9 hour flight of my life (NO TV's at the seats and very little space for the legs - no go for American Airlines) I arrived safely in Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday.
After picking up our car at Alamo we only had 1 night in Raleigh and left for Atlantic Beach today. It was a 4-hour ride with our KIA and now we are staying for 2 days in this cute little village directly located at the ocean.
We stopped at Smithville, a huge Outlet Mall city and I got myself some shoes (Converse & Vans) for 40$ and some Tee's. Sprtswear is way cheaper than in Germany but food and anything elso is not that cheap.
And there's fast food just everywhere! So far I've eaten Pizza and Burgers although we wanted go for steak and seafood but all restaurants here closed at 9 pm as it's no season here.
The weather's lovely, we had 25° today but I brought a cold from freakin' cold Germany and cant enjoy the weather yet.

Tomorrow we are going to visit Beaufort, the city where "Message in a bottle" was filmed. I won this trip from a Nicholas Sparks sweepstake so I gotta go for some Nicholas Sparks sightseeing ;-)
