    Tickled PINK to see you again!! I looked forward to your shows since you first started and we were SO YOUNG!! You did a program on Christmas at a Disney resort. I was watching it on a wet dreary Sunday afternoon. We’d just moved from Greenville, SC to Orlando. I was loving what I was watching when it hit me!! I LIVE IN ORLANDO! So we loaded up the car and went to see with our own eyes what you showed on tv. Man…THAT WAS FUN!!! We made a point of doing that every year! So with all my heart, WELCOME BACK, Samantha!
    Oh I just watched your Charleston and Ashville shows. I’m back in Greenville. Lol.

      Native North Carolinian, been several times. May not be the place to visit at the moment. Asheville is almost destroyed from Hurricane Helene. The damage is faaaaar worse than MSM says. Thousands are dead, many more homeless and sleeping outside jn the cold because everything they owned washed away as they watched. About 20% of our beautiful state has been damaged or destroyed. If you come, you'll be welcome, but be prepared for what you get. Much of our mountains look like a Stephen King horror movie set. Also, many roads are gone, so detours will take more time to get to your destination.

    I'm a native and I have always thought the grounds of Biltmore were much more interesting than the Big House. I've seen a lot of change in AVL, unfortunately I avoid downtown as it has become too touristy

    Interested how the Indian food chef / restaurant owner brought up the “issue” with spice / spicy food in the U.S. I know A LOT of people in rural areas of Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon……….and ALL of these Americans will NOT eat spicy food!!! None of them!! I find this VERY weird, as these people only eat bland, boring food / highly processed food / fast food…….and very few vegetables. It seems to be an epidemic in the U.S.!! (Not a problem in the cities, luckily). What gives?!?
