Flights to North Carolina – Official blue berry? The blueberry!
North Carolina has the honour of including the highest mountain east of the Mississippi, Mount Mitchell. If you’re booking flights to North Carolina with adventures in mind, try climbing it and see what the State looks like from a long way up. Watch your back though… the first ever English settlement was created in North Carolina but no one knows what happened to it. They just… disappeared. (Here, we pause for on of those sinister tumbleweed moments).
Flights to North Carolina will probably deposit you at one of two major international airports. Charolotte-Douglas International Airport is, unsurprisingly, just a few miles outside Charlotte. Raleigh-Durham International Airport is ten miles or so south east of Durham, also convenient for nearby Raleigh.
North Carolina Flights – Official carnivorous plant?
They’re funny over in the US. We’re familiar with American culture to a certain extent through TV but, all the same, much of it is weirdly foreign and unfamiliar. They’re obsessed with state symbols; flights to North Carolina land you in the State whose official blue berry is the blueberry. No, really! Their official state red berry is the strawberry. These decisions aren’t taken lightly and are ratified by the General Assembly… no joke.
But there’s more. Take flights to North Carolina if you fancy a holiday in a state that has officially adopted milk as its ‘State Beverage’. They’ve adopted a State Historical Boat; the shad boat, whatever that might be. And in a final defiant attempt to out-silly the rest of the US they took on the Venus flytrap. Why? Obvious… it’s the Official Carnivorous Plant of North Carolina. Doh, of course.
Flights to North Carolina – The USA’s tallest brick lighthouse
Choose flights to North Carolina and marvel at the Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest brick built lighthouse in the USA. Or celebrate the birth of teeth rotting, hyper-making Pepsi Cola, invented in North Carolina in the late 1800s. They should have let it lie. Weirdest of all, North Carolina was named after our King Charles the first. Eh? We’re probably being dim but fail to see what ‘Carolina’ has to do with ‘Charles’.
