... them directly. For those who know me, this small hic-cup can become a major constriction of the air passages (i.e. lump in my throat or a lump in my oatmeal). <br><br>The time allotted between planes was less than 90 minutes. We already knew where Delta was landing (terminal) and exactly the terminal Korean Air utilized but...how long would it take to acquire boarding passes (especially when ...

After a very very long drive, we finally made it to our first Hotel in Twin City Georgia just right outside of Valdosta at 4:00 AM Eastern Time. Our GPS system told us that we would arrive at 4:03 and we pulled in the parking lot at exactly 4:03. The kids did really good in the car, we were very thankful for that. We stopped and ate Cracker Barrell in Kentucky. We ate with the flies in the restaurant and they were driving everybody ...

<br>Our story begins roughly 700 miles from home in a small town in Georgia. This was the farthest from home Seth and I had ever lived. I lived in Mississippi from a brief few months, but it was never home. When I was dismissed from school every afternoon, I never got the feeling that I was "going home." Louisiana is home to me. <br>Seth left around a week before I was able to. There were so many things that had to be done before I ...

... 40 across to US 1 and then headed north, stopping in Waycross for fuel. Since Hurricane Ike hit Texas at the weekend, fuel prices have been going up, despite assurances from the Texan authorities that there are no problems with supply and distribution. It's basically just opportunism and greed on the part of the fuel station owners. And so for the first time since we entered South Dakota some weeks ago, we paid over $4 a gallon for unleaded today. <br><br>Further north ...

NICK - I had Georgia on my mind today so we went to Atlanta. Driving into the city centres is becoming a little bit easier as we go along and we soon found ourselves parked right outside the park built to commemorate the city's hosting of the 1996 Olympic Games. Very impressive, too. As with most parks we have found, there is a bandstand just inside the perimeter where there is always live music playing at lunchtime. And this was no exception. It ...

... out-ate 6-7 big & hungry guys. i'm my mother's daughter, hehehe. we arrived in Americus, Georgia around 10:45PM. the hotel was GORGEOUS!!! it was built around the turn of the century, takes up most of the city block, and then laid dormant for 25 years. in the 90's it took 7 million dollars to renovate it, they sold it for a little over 1 million, and now it has wonderful business! a woman from the hotel said that Billy Bob ...

woke up at 5:00AM and i was so excited to leave that i got ready too fast.. i ended up sitting around waiting for my ride for 20 minutes. oops, hehe. the carpool i was in had to wait for a guy to wake up (10 mins).. and then the whole group (17 people) had to wait for our TA to wake up & drive over to the bus station for 30 minutes... lol. we left west lafayette an hour later than hoped.

... it is from a date, so I asked him what day fell on my date of birth, he said Saturday which was right. So I asked him how many kids do I have, knowing full well I have none. He said "Twins a boy and a girl, which you will have in 18 months",I nearly fell over with the shock,I tell ya in about 17 months I am going away again for another 18 years!:-)I spent the rest of evening quitely drinking my beer. I meet another entertaining ...

... at The Shrimp Factory (recommended by Karen, our dental hygienist in Atlanta). Our waiter, Michael, took great care of us and even showed us how to get to Forrest Gump's bus bench tomorrow. We topped off dinner with the pie recommended by Amanda from the hotel - White Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie. Barbara said it was the best pie she had ever ...

... photos along the way. We saw some expressions of patriotism, but nowhere near what we all saw after 9/11. Dacula and Madison showed the greatest patriotism.
