Comfort Suites Athens

... I got as much stuff as I could fit in the car and got out of there as quick as possible.<br><br>I then thought that I might as well stock up on a few snacks while I was in the mood for shopping. I went to a supermarket and started filling my trolley. It's funny how the cost adds up when you wander round those places. It didn't seem to worry me though and the bill became pretty steep, pretty quick.<br><br>All in all, it was a really ...

... campground as well if you want to bring your horse!<br><br>Many well marked and maintained trails for hiking and horseback riding. Easy paved roads through out to get you over to the beach at the swimming lake or the ramp at the boating lake or the group use building with large rolling lawn down to the water for fishing and kayaking/canoeing. There are playgrounds and a terrific group BBQ area with facilities for preparation ...

I wanted to spend more time in Athens, but because of all the problems going on, plans kind of got extremely disorganized and we went to Athens on a whim. <br><br>We basically ended up in a bar and grabbed dinner at The Grit (famous for vegetarian cuisine), while briefly cruising around town. <br><br>I felt sad and sentimental that I didn't get to tour it more, but then again I felt relief; I have another university to call my own, for I am also a NYU graduate. ;) <br>

... sucks. I actually have an interview with the Sylvan in Athens on Monday, so wish me luck! And my first graduate class is on Monday, so it should be an exciting day. Hopefully I won't be the only twenty-something in the room. ha ha.<br><br>Love,<br>Ash

We woke up and ate our last hotel continental breakfast. Then we let the kids swim in the pool as promised. We had the pool all to ourselves and the kids loved it. We only had a 6 hour drive left so we stayed there until checkout at 11 am. The kids were great in the car - watching ...

... How do they keep their arteries open around here? There were churches every mile (or more). We saw Carolina rice paddies - I never associated rice growing with southern US before. <br><br>We stopped at a State Park for lunch and had a picnic next to a lovely lake - there were few others there at first, but they all left and we had the park to ourselves. The temperature was in the high 20s and humid. We carried on down towards Charleston, seeing Azaleas and lots of ...

Leaving tomorrow!!!!! I've packed just about everything. Not the kitchen sink, but enough to wash up without it. Did you know REI actually SELLS a camping kitchen sink?? It, like everything in that store, is collapse-able and stuffs into itself. Why go camping if you're going to have to do dishes there, too?? I'm bringing lots of food with me, at least for the first few days. In case i dont get the courage to venture into the ...

... We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment. ~Hilaire Belloc I think it was Jekyll who used to say that the further he went west, the more convinced he felt that the wise men came from the east. ~Sydney Smith We leave traces of ourselves wherever we go, on whatever we touch. ~Lewis Thomas Not all those who wander are lost. ~ J. R. R. Tolkien A traveler without ...

... mas o cadarco era feito nos Estados Unidos. O mais provavel eh que a pessoa que fez este cadarco que estou usando agora tenho ganho mais por eles do que as pessoas que fizeram os casacos, as luvas, as camisas, as meias e os gorros ganharam por varias pecas juntas. Por incrivel que possa parecer... ... e eu colaborei com isso. As vezes eh dificil nao colaborar. Ainda estou procurando solucao para poder seguir ...

Back in Georgia and relaxing in a park, Lynsey and I were planning how to zig-zag our way through to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the scenic drive that winds high into mountains of the same name. First stop though was the town of Augusta, a quick lunch time experience for us and the place where the American love of golf is very evident with the Masters played here annually. We took the riverside walk through the quiet town and I still couldn't get any decent world cup coverage ...
