... to the people and the country that they have found.

Prior to leaving for this trip, I received an email from a good friend that wanted to wish me well and safe return. One thought struck me in particular - "Gods will will not take you where God's grace will not protect you."

Looking forward to a glass of wine, maybe an ambien and a flight we will not likely remember.

15 hours to Johannesburg.

Before I depart for the great land to the South, I made the wise decision to remove the Great Dane that had taken up residence on top of my head.
Now sleek, cool, and low maintenance, my new do is ready for prime time, and skipping regularly scheduled showers...
This is how I look before the trip, hopefully my appearance does not alter too much, and I return much the same, with all limbs intact.

Stay tuned for my first days in Bs As...

... we didn't realize when we landed was that we had 30 minutes
before our next flight took off. Our gate was 3 terminals away. Had to
get on a shuttle and commute to the other side of the airport. We got
there with 15 minutes to spare, but they had already closed the door.
FANTASTIC! We immediately went to the ticket counter where we learned
that the next available flight from Atlanta to LA was at.... 6:45pm
TOMORROW ...

... boating and fishing, as well as trails for walking and biking. It's a perfect park for a few days to let me get over jet lag and get back into GA time!

After a couple of days of getting caught up, biking and walking the trails, we packed up and got ready to head out when a "teenaged" cat came meowing up to me (Andy) for the 3rd or 4th time since we've been here. Jack, a 79 yr. old motorcycle riding fulltime RVer came ...

... visa. Out of all these circumstances, don’t you think friends and family members would go out of their way to come see me?

Because this happened last year, I wasn’t surprised. I come home once in a year, and get told that I have to go see them, they can’t DARE come see me.

This same story has been repeating itself since my foolish trip to Roanoke, VA in 2007, when after driving 10+ hrs with a friend to have ...

... treatment of animals, so I understood why he didn't want to see it.

But what exactly is there to see in Atlanta?
A MARTA station representative gave us a good response...: shops.
Because the world of Coke and Aquarium didn't interest us, he strongly suggested going to Lennox to do some shopping and eat at nice restaurants....

Did we really come all this way just to go...shopping and eat out?

I think I avoided updating my blog particularly because I didn't really want to recount my trip to Roswell. I came home with great aspirations, hoping people and things had changed. Instead of repeating the same old same old, this entry is more or less just repeated feelings and disappointments.

On a separate note…this time I looked at Roswell from a different perspective (as much of the rest of my trip to the US).

So why did this time feel more unfamiliar and different? I guess the longer time you spend away from the place you grew up, you don't have the same feelings for it as before. Atlanta used to be the place where I'd go on the weekends to hang out with friends and feel all high-and-mighty in a nightclub drinking my 10 dollar cocktail...the streets of Georgia Tech used to feel so familiar, as I've ...

On Friday, April 7th, we left Florida, stopping for a couple of nights in Unadilla, Georgia, which is about a half hour from Macon. Our reason for staying more than one night here was a plan to go to a small dirt race track nearby. Alas, the weather once again foiled dirt track plans - the first rain we'd seen since sometime last year in California turned out to be a big storm - thunder ...
