Blogs from Atlanta, Georgia, United States, North America - page 28

We boarded the G train from Nostrand and Bedford, transferred to the A line at Hoyt and rode it one stop to Jay Street. Then we hopped on the F train and stayed on thru Manhattan and then over into Queens. At Roosevelt Avenue, we jumped on the Q33 bus which took us straight into La Guardia airport. It was Sunday, June 3 and we were headed to Atlanta. The barebones AA flight was boring and we slept thru the entire two-hour journey. Aaaaaah. ATL, ATL. We had been there before. Back in 2005. And we loved it then. We landed around 2pm, cleared and waited in the atrium for Shanna's mom, Mama Marcia, and stepdad, Ton (pronounced "Toe"). There were platoons of US Army soldiers in the waiting area. The packed area burst into applause ... read more

Of course, I must visit all 50 states, including those that require a plane, boat, or sled dog team to reach. I think many people wish to do this, and they all don't have to aspire to be travel writers! I have made some progress with this map, but as with the rest of the world, many adventures in my own country await! I figured I'd just set some of these maps up for interest purposes as I got ready to pay homage to Europe again (I leave in about 6 days, even though Travelblog posts this entry as having been written May 28th. I started it then, but published it June 19th. There will be various features to get used to, so please bear with me at times! Thanks.). Visited US States Map ... read more

Our official moving day is finally here! We'll be getting on our plane in less than 15 hours and I'm way too excited to sleep...so I'm emailing instead :) I know it's been a while since our last "chapter" but honestly, not much has happened. We sat in Alabama for 2 months...although I took a little break and headed back up to Tennessee the last weekend in March. It all started with the fact that I needed one more haircut and just went from there lol. It really was a productive weekend...I closed out a savings account, met with our real estate agent (to date the house still hasn't sold, by the way), got my hair cut and highlighted, and figured out how to renew Matt's driver's license. To get our driver's license to drive in ... 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
