So far the flights are working it fine. 9:00 departure from Savannah, and a 2.5 hour layover in ATL. Surprisingly, I got into the Delta club so I can have a breakfast/lunch before the next wonderful 15 hour flight with all that great airline food. I'll be stuffing everything I can into my backpack. So far this website isn't as intuitive as the previous one, so hopefully I'll learn how to work it as I go.... read more

After yesterday's long grueling ride, today is a tourist day in Atlanta. We both slept well, and since we only had a 30 minute ride to town, there was no reason to wake up particularly early, especially since the free hotel breakfast doesn't begin until 7:00 on the weekends. So with coffee and breakfast, we hit the road about 8:00. We were about 10 minutes from the hotel when I realized that I had forgotten the camera in the room so we had to turn around and go back. No problem, we have plenty of time today. So we're about 10 minutes down the road again and I realize that the TPMS light is on solid on the bike.This means low tire pressure on one of the tires, and when you only have 2, it's kind ... read more

Mrs H and I never turn our nose up at the chance of an adventure providing the adventure does not include bungee jumping, sky diving, scuba diving, pot holing or walking briskly uphill!! For this reason, most of our adventures usually involve a ship of some description. If we had known what was in store for us within the first twenty-four hours of setting off across the Atlantic we may have booked a different route altogether for this was an adventure that if given the choice, we would not have picked even though there was not a bungee rope or an aqualung in sight!! As you've probably guessed, we've set off on another cruise that will see us sail from Fort Lauderdale across the Atlantic calling at Ponta del Garda in the Azores, Lisbon, Bilbao, Le ... read more

Auf gehs Richtung Heimat … 3 Stunden bis Atlanta und von dort über Newark nach München. Circa eine Stunde vor Atlanta bin ich etwas unkonzentriert und fahre über irgendwas drüber, das das Auto ordentlich scheppern lässt … aber zum Glück bliebe alles ganz (genau deshalb bin ich normalerweise lieber am Abflugtag am Ort des Flughafens, man weiß ja nie, was mit einem Auto alles sein kann) und ich komme planmässig am Flughafen an. Auto retour, einchecken, passt alles. Im Flieger sitzt dann ein Musiker/Investmentbanker/was auch immer Pretender neben mir, der mich vollquatscht. Ich konzentriere mich auf meine Aufzeichnungen und irgendwann lässt er von mir los und sucht sich ein anderes Opfer, das mit einem (Blinden-)hund im Flieger ist … In der Lufthansa-Maschine nach München versuche ich dann gleich zu schlafen und lasse das Essen gleich aus. ... read more

Waiting at our gate in Atlanta. Another smooth flight. We again had lots of leg room as we were in the center section of the exit row. 2 meals and a movie and a long nap and it was over. Had to re-tag our checked bag as it was tagged to go to Minneapolis. The lady in Buenos Aires had put the wrong tag on it. She even told us it was going to Minneapolis and when I asked about it she said we would pick it up in Atlanta anyway going through customs. ... read more

Once again, we got up early to drive to Atlanta. But first, we wanted to cruise through our old neighborhood, the Green's at Lee's Hill. We lived here from the fall of 1995 until we moved to Brazil in the summer of 1997. It was fun to see how little things have changed there. As we were driving around, we stopped to speak to a man walking his dog. He told us that some of our friends were still living there. As we drove in front of our unit, I spotted a guy just inside his garage. It was our friend and neighbor, Gene Barlow. We had to stop. It has been 19 years since we moved. We have not seen anyone from The Greens since. But there was Gene and his wife, Shirley. They are ... read more
