Sleepless in Singapore

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount the third and potentially final part of a road trip with my friend Marcus along the US East Coast. We begin in Jacksonville, where we miss meeting an old friend but enjoy a Brazilian barbecue at Terra Gaucha. Our journey continues with a hearty breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Kingsland, Georgia, a delightful city tour in Savannah, and a restful night at a golf club in Litchfield Beach.

We explore Wilmington and the Outer Banks, taking a ferry from Cedar Island to Ocracoke, marveling at the remote beauty. Reaching Kitty Hawk, we stay in a charming Airbnb and experience local culture, including a memorable evening meeting a NASCAR driver. The trip concludes with a brisket feast in King of Prussia, a visit to Gettysburg National Military Park, and a glimpse into Amish life, before I finally return to Singapore.
