I barely moved as Ken got up, kissed me goodbye and left for the airport. I slept until 7:30. When I got up Jason and Amy were up packing to head back to Las Vegas. Ugh! One minute we are all together, the next minute I am saying goodbye as everyone heads in different directions. I get that blue feeling. Time to remind myself how blessed I am. I send Jason and Amy off with some Lemon pound cake, hugs and say goodbye. Justen gets up and we have coffee together before he takes a shower and heads to work. Hugs to him too! What a great Birthday! Now I am alone in my own house. I can't remember the last time this has happened. I did some laundry and cleaning so Justen won't have to ... read more

We had our coffee inside and took a walk around the campground afterwards. I didn't want to walk down in the woods because of all of the spider webs. I packed for the week. I am flying to Atlanta to work on site this week. Ken dropped me off at the Asheville Regional airport. What a cute little airport. I am literally at my gate in 5 minutes. They have wooden rocking chairs near the windows. I bought a turkey sandwich and water for lunch/dinner. I'm flying on a comfortable 80 passenger regional jet. I sat next to a lady who must have had garlic last night. Probably pay back for all the times I have eaten garlic...I love garlic! She is going to Uruguay for a two week vacation. She is meeting her tour group ... read more

We spent the weekend packing up the apartment. Our last night there will be Wednesday night. I will still be working at Children's in Atlanta, but begin working remotely 50% of the time next week. We will be staying in our RV in Stone Mountain Park (outside of Atlanta) just for a few nights, and then heading to North Carolina. I have really enjoyed my year here. The apartment wasn't perfect but we made it home. It was very convenient; I liked the experience of living 'downtown', walking to Piedmont Park, restaurants, museums. Ken didn't enjoy it as much as me. He felt caged up. Atlanta is a great city. It has a lot going on (the traffic is bad!). My favorite thing about Atlanta is the people-so friendly and kind. The least favorite thing is ... read more

Geo: 33.7481, -84.3909Salimos muy convenientemente a las 3:35pm de México hacia Atlanta, un poco turbulento el viaje. El aeropuerto estaba, en términos prácticos, vacío. Pasamos inmediatamente a inmigración, sin hacer fila. Luego comimos unos hotdogs en Varsity, no muy buenos, pero teníamos refresco ilimitado y también era ilimitados los sabores. Sólo de Coca Zero había Vanilla, Cherry, Cherry-Vanilla, Orange (sabía a Redoxon), Raspberry, Lemon, Lime y el original Coca Zero. Diet Coke, Fanta Zero, y demás marcas también venían en subsabores. Supuestamente había más de 100 sabores. Abordamos puntualmente nuestro siguiente avión y casi inmediatamente caímos en brazos de Morfeo. Aterrizamos en Londres 10 minutos antes de lo previsto, pero aquí si tuvimosmque hacer una cola de casi 40min para pasar m... read more

First day – June 27, 2013 Today started pretty early, got up at 4:15 and we were on the road by 5:00. The first few hours were rather uneventful driving out I-70 to I-81. Traffic was relatively light and a great change from fighting the hordes of people trying to get around DC. However, I-81 was loaded with trucks and after a while we got tired of driving around them or getting out of their way. Jill grabbed the map and found an alternate route for us – down a stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The sky was extremely overcast and heavy fog hung in the valleys between blue-hued mountain ridges. It wasn’t the best day for sight seeing but driving the smooth-surfaced, twisting road was a fun experience. This might be a ... read more
