The MsIz and I are flying into Raleigh and making our way over to Charlotte.  What are the best areas to book a hotel in for both cities?  

Thanks   chug

It looks like there's a lot going on around Raleigh.  

I keep seeing Crabtree.  Would that be a good area to stay in?

That likely depends on what you're going to Charlotte for.  There's plenty of hotels, but you could find yourself 30 minutes or more away from your activity for the day.

Only place I have experience staying is up near the Speedway.  There are some nice business type hotels there.  Easy access to I-85 and I-485 from that area.  However, you are just outside Charlotte rather than being in the middle of the action.

Damn, I wish I'd been on here in time to organize a meet up with y'all.

I was actually out riding around in Chapel Hill this afternoon, but not until about 4ish.

I was in Fayetteville 3 weeks ago visiting my brother and a college friend. If you move there, let me know and I'll try to head up there.

Sounds good DucC! I think we picked a prime time to visit the state. Nice people, good weather and it looks like things are starting to bloom. We're going to do some touristy things tomorrow.

Friday night, 7:15 - UNC/LIU in the NCAA tournament

If you wanna grab a drink somewhere with the game on, I'm down.

Otherwise, before or after that maybe?

Back in Raleigh. wasn't too impressed with Charlotte. Immediately spotted another Ducati when we rolled into downtown Raleigh on Glenwood around 4:30. Matte black 696. Rider in reflective vest. Looked like added lights on forks?

I really couldn't tell ya JB. Maybe its the season and the trees all look dead? Maybe its the vibe? How spread out everything is? I don't know. Raleigh reminded me more of Austin. I liked it there.
