After leaving Orlando, we headed to Savannah GA because we had heard it was a neat, historic place to check out. We only had a couple days there because we had a hard time finding people on couchsurfing.com to stay with. Wes caught a cold of some sort in Orlando and was really starting to feel sick on our first full day in Savannah, so we rode our bikes into town and walked around a bit. Savannah looks a lot like New Orleans, with the huge trees lining the streets, covered in moss. We went down by the river into this sort of cheesy tourist area, wandered around downtown a little, went to the cemetery, and stopped in the park for a while. But at that point Wes was feeling pretty sick and had a ... read more

Savannah PierceGood Morning .. Good Beautiful Morning! I spent yesterday afternoon and into the night in Savannah Georgia and had the best time since South Beach. The four days of cool cloudy weather cleared up and the sun shined down on the gorgeous green city squares. A few days ago I cleaned up and out of the Piratehaus Inn in Saint Augustine, finished my pirate pancakes and completed one more blog, I chatted with Conrad about the Inn and the old city. On my way out he surprisingly gave me no charge for staying at the Inn because i was a "couch surfer" and I was so grateful. Conrad Matt and Elaine are such fine people, very welcoming, caring, and extremely nice and I will forever thank them for their hospitality. I took a last walk ... read more

UntitledI had to be in the lobby at 5am for my airport transfer. There were 9 of us going at that time, so the little bus was packed. We couldn't figure out why we were leaving so early since it takes an hour or less to get to the airport and the earliest flight in the group was at 9:10am. Seven of us were on the 9:10am flight to JFK and the other two were leaving at 9:25am going to London. We ended up having to wait in line for the airport to even open at 6am!!!!!!!! We checked in VERY early, so I got to get a window seat with only one other seat to crawl over to get out. Then, I bought a present for Addison (a stuffed camel that plays music) and went ... read more

Ok, so I didn’t see any of the sights associated with the book but the title is just too good to pass up. I’ll have to read it again now that I’ve been to Savannah. Somewhere outside of Charleston, the MINI reaches 4,000 miles on the trip. Woohoo! No problems until we get to Savannah. We stay in a flat in a historic building on Lafayette Square—great location with beautiful mid-1800s homes and a church surrounding the square. The back of the inn has parking so I drive down the alley and pull into the parking space but the MINI gets stuck. There’s a dip in grade between the alley and the parking space and the MINI is too low to make it through. Cathy gets out of the car and notices a plastic thing ... read more

Sunday, March 25, 2007 - Atlanta Underground, Atlanta, GA I hardly can recall on how a marathon would do such harm to your body from my past Marine Corps Marathon, which took place six months ago (see ). A hostile reminder, however, was inevitably after completing another 26.2 mile course, noticeably when you were wobbling around the finishers ground, while your now stiffen legs, strained back muscle, shoulders and forearms were screaming in agony after a couple of hours worth of strenuous exercise, and trying to reach the snack table to nourish back your body and replace some nutrient loss with big heaps of fruits, water, yoghurt, cookies, bagels and some sweet goodies. Remind you, I’m only in my late twenties but I felt closer to a geriatric body of an eighty year old by only ... read more
