As some of you know that we decided to take a vacation in Tennessee as I wrote a post a few days ago under the title “Just Got Back and Blogging” where I said that I have just got back home from Tennessee after spending three nights there and that I would be put blogging aside because while I was in Tennessee on vacation, I decided to record a video of the most times that I have been there so that all of you guys could feel as if you were there with me as well. Where I records a lot of videos down there in Tennessee, ranging from Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg and I recorded a lot of videos. Several hours of many videos, of course that means that they need to be edited because you would need to edit several videos to make one video and at the same time trying to trim off some unnecessary parts in these videos because it would be pointless to show some parts where it was just laying on a table facing a wall. When you record several videos, several hours of videos then you would need to try to figure which parts is necessary and which parts is not necessary so to trim off the hours for a video because no one is going to watch a 10 hours of video. I have recorded over a hundred video clips, over seven hours so it took me a week to edit out some unnecessary parts and then connect these over hundred videos into one video but that didn’t stop there because once I did it was more than five hours so I had changed duration of some video clips by fast-forwarding them then trying to double-check what I think isn’t REALLY necessary. Obviously you sees me blogging now, you know what that means? The video is finished, it is ready to be watched and I am ready to blog again!
It was not fun editing these videos, I tell you because after taking out some unnecessary parts of these several videos and connects these videos into one video then there were almost five hours video. So I had no choice but to try to cut out more parts and fast-forwarding some clips to make the video shorter.
After I did that, it have come down to about two hours and I cannot get myself to cut out some more parts or make some of these video clips a bit faster because they are my memories so I only did what I would like to do as if it is for my own eyes only but at the same time I also want to share the video with all of you so that maybe some of you could feel as if you were there too. You don’t have to watch the entire video of course, if you want to watch the video but a little more hurry then I would suggest that you use the right arrow button on your keyboard because that will skips every five seconds so that will give you a faster view than what the speed I had set for the video. I had a lot of fun in Tennessee, particular in Gatlinburg although I didn’t spend as much as I would like to and the main reason that we decided to take a trip to Tennessee is because of my mother’s cousin named Robin who were admitted to ICU in Tennessee when her and her family was down there on vacation too but sadly she only get to enjoy there a little time as it wasn’t long after they arrived there then started feeling ill which admitted her to ICU. Not too long after arriving there in Tennessee, for some reason she started not feeling too well and immediately rushed to the hospital then put her in ICU because she was hit with pneumonia. Stayed there for a few weeks, so we decided that we would go over there all the way from here in Kentucky to Tennessee which is about five hours of driving to visit her and the family to check on her while at the same time we also decided that we might as well takes a vacation down there since it was over there.
We stayed in the between of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville in Tennessee at Mountain Melodies INN on the fourth floor under the number of 413 I think. I believe the number of a room is seen in the video in case if I am wrong so you can confirm that for me. However if you are thinking about taking a vacation in Tennessee for Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg then seeing that there are hardly any rooms available at any hotels around that area so you might come across Mountain Melodies INN; Don’t book there! Mountain Melodies INN had very odd smell, as I got in the room I told my mother that it smells like some animals urine and rotten eggs combined. In that room, it is a suite which you will see in the video but the suite has a two rooms separated, one at the bottom and another one upstairs with a swirl stairs. My bed was at the bottom one, obviously since I am a wheelchair bound so we checked the blankets and mattresses that I would be sleeping in. We discovered some bodily fluids, such as possibility of blood and among others so I slept on the bed with the blanket covered because I cannot stand to uncover the bed to sleep in so I slept on the bed with my blanket as I bought my blanket from home thankfully.

Nonetheless we had some fun there, as at that time it was Fall Rod Run where the strips would be covered with some classic vehicles and some hot rod vehicles or custom vehicles which I have recorded some of them for you to watch. We only stayed there for three nights, we almost had decided to stay another night but we couldn’t because our room was already booked by somebody else and we looked for other nearby hotels but they were booked up as well. We left here on Wednesday then came home on Saturday. It was me, my mother, my mother’s friend Lisa and her daughter Alyssa so you will see a video of us all with a bonus at the end of the video which I think I probably will embarrass somebody in that video.
Here are the video, hope that all of you will enjoy the video and note that the majority of the video has no sounds because I have taken out the most of audio from the video as there were a lot of sensitive information that I would not want to share with the public but I did left some sounds at about near half or near the end of the video where you will see the strip with vehicles passing by so to give you an idea of how loud it was down there. I am never a fan of having audio in the video anyway, considering that I am Hard of Hearing and with that you will experience as if you are Deaf or Hard of Hearing too but I possibly will put some music in the video later on using YouTube’s own music. Nonetheless I hope that you enjoy the video below and if the video is too small, click the YouTube button at the bottom right corner which that will take you to the YouTube website where it will show you a bit bigger video or just simply click the full screen (a square looking button).
Vacation in Tennessee Video
If you have vacationed in Tennessee around Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg I would love for you to leave a comment below to let me know which one is your favorite? Which area are your favorite? Pigeon Forge, Sevierville or Gatlinburg? Mine is Gatlinburg because they had more stores and more branding stores unlike too many off brands stores in Pigeon Forge such as $9.99 store. I want to go to some stores like Lid, Starbucks, Ole Smokey Moonshine and a few more although there is two Starbucks that I know of in Pigeon Forge. One in Sevierville that I am aware of. I guess I prefer branded stores over knock off, off brands or no brands stores. Share your experiences in the comments below on your vacation in Tennessee please!
