Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Lithonia-Stonecrest

It’s impressive to see how the boys have become such seasoned travelers at such a young age. Though Adin only carried his pack for the first half of the day, they both pulled their suitcases-on-wheels hither and yon through 3 airports. And Adin insisted on lifting his suitcase onto the luggage conveyor belt on his own each time. On the pla...

Je suis maintenant à Atlanta! C'est incroyable que Delta arrive à partir 1h en retard et arrive 15 minutes en avance. À toutes les fois, j'en reviens pas - comment font-ils?

Well, the trip got started with a ..... whimper. The whimper was the alarm clock was on mute! We were suppose to get up at 4am to get ready to leave at 5am but "nature" woke us up at 4:50am. Talk about a mad dash to bang on bedroom doors to wake everyone up!

So we left around 5:30am to meet up with Tim somewhere in Montgomery, AL at a S...

Well, I'm back home after 27 days. It's weird to be back although I've spent my entire life here, I guess it doesn't take long to get adjusted to another world. I had a great trip, I had some wonderful hosts Hiwotie, Wondi, Messay and a gang of others, and most important I got a new perspective on life. I won't get philological on this blog...

Our airport adventure began when we boarded a bus at the dock and watched our bags loading beneath us. We then waited until the bus was cleared to leave the area and take the short drive to the Ft Lauderdale airport. There were EIGHT cruise ships docked at Port Everglades that day so you can imagine the chaos at the airport with thousands of peo...

So here I am sitting amongst all of my clothes, sundries, and other what-not that I'm currently packing into my bag that I'll be living out of for the next 8 or so months, and I've just had a flood of sensations (too brief to be considered "feelings" or "emotions"). With trying to pull everything together for this trip over the past week or so, ...

Family,
The first agenda we will work on will be Paris. Please use the internet to search for destinations you want to visit, food you want to eat and wine you want to drink! :-) I will be creating a draft agenda based on the input I get from each of you. We only have a day, so we have to make the best of it. We will be starting early and en...

Arrived on Friday (Sept,11th) evening and set ourselves up in a shady, stream side site in Hard Labor Creek State Park. The name comes from the Indians many years ago saying it was hard labor to cross the river (creek). We found no 'hard labor' in any of our stay. The Town is charming with great historic value and flare. The State Park is large ...

Our flight took us from Atlanta to San Fransisco to Hong Kong. We got to Hong Kong around 11 at night and needed a room bad. We were so tired we almost slept at an expensive (to us) hotel with access from the airport. But at the last second we followed some Africans (I knew they would know of a good cheap place to stay). We followed them to a ci...
