I'm down to 2 weeks. In exactly 14 days from now, I'll be on my way to the airport. I've been anticipating this trip for so long, and today is really the first time I've gotten the jitters when thinking about it. Huzzah! All my lodging is booked. All my flights have been purchased. This is becoming more real... I tend to get ready for this trip in short spurts, like a fixation for a few hours, and then go back to doing my normal thing for a few days. Yesterday was one of those short spurts. I booked a couple of my ground transports. The first was a shuttle from LGA to JFK. I've got 6 hours between flights in NYC, so I figure that's plenty of time. The second was my AndorraBus from BCN ... read more

Cumberland Island National Seashore Quote I love National Parks, seashore, lands.. Bob Tait We stop on our way home from Florida We will come back and take the ferry to island and do a tour , The main reason was that John Kennedy was married on the island. Also Carnegie had a lot of connection His wife built a summer home for the son so look at web sites to learn more.

So, I leave for Europe in 16 days, and I'll be there for 77 days. I would add one of those nifty countdown things here, but they all seem to be a couple days off. Alas... Today was the dry-run for packing for this trip. My parents have let me borrow a very nice wheelie suitcase with a handle. I hope it's better than my last 2, both of which I got in the middle of a trip. The same trip, actually. The first one was from Real in Jena, Germany. If you know anything about Real, you probably know how that turned out. It had wheels and a handle, but it was a lot like a gym bag in quality of the fabric. It lasted until I got to Toulouse, the next week. Then I ... read more

North America » United States » Georgia » Atlanta » Midtown February 24th 2015

Težko bi rekla, da je Atlanta postala moj dom in tudi ameriške sanje mi ne dišijo najbolj, hrano lahko opišem samo z eno besedo - presladko, in preživeti polovico življenja v avtu se mi ne zdi mikavno. Fulbright štipendija mi je omogočila najboljše delo, trenirala sem z odlično plesno skupino, uživala z Atlantčani, bila odlično sprejeta, spoznala več plati ameriške svobode, se preselila 5x v 6 mesecih, se navduševala nad parki, obupavala nad javnim prevozom, kričala na NBA tekmi, pojedla veliko pic, plačala ogromno napitnin in neštetokrat vlekla ven mojo osebno, da so me spustili v bar. Jugovzhod je zanimiv del Amerike in ga vsem toplo priporočam. Savannah, Charleston, Athens, so čudovita mesta, ki jih večinoma vsak turist prezre, medtem ko leti v San Francisco, Boston, Chicago. Ljudje na tem koncu so res prijetni in to ... read more

Geo: 32.1153, -81.2472So we start this next update about where the last one left off....freezing our asses off! Left Moss Point Mississippi with a hard freeze on the trailer and the wind blowing gale force but at least the sun was shining! There's always a bright side to every cloud....yep, I keep blowing that smoke up my ass hoping it will stick. Stopped and visited our good friend Terri in Florida and had a blast even though it never got warm..... Seriously, isn't Florida where all the snow birds go in the winter...well they got robbed this year because it was cold from the moment we crossed the state line in the panhandle and when we left mid state 5 days later, I swear it was colder. Did a few home improvement projects for her and ... read more

North America » United States » Georgia » Tifton February 19th 2015

I hope that the countdown is functioning properly - I'll be leaving for Europe in 3 weeks from today, on March 12th. Here are some observations I've found while booking flights and accommodations for 11 weeks in Europe. The website skyscanner.com is amazing! I have looked for and compared flight prices on other sites, and this one is the best, hands down. If you know of better ones, please let me know, because if there's anything better, then I would love to hear that. Norwegian airlines has easily the best prices for transatlantic flights. Nobody believed me when I told them how cheap it was! Granted, I've never used them, and their customer reviews are barely above average, but I don't have any connecting flights, so I think I'll be ok. I'll make any comments ... read more

This is my first post. I'm just trying this thing out, seeing how things look. I leave for Europe in 23 days, and if this site looks good and is easy to use, I'll keep it up. I'm currently visiting my family in Tifton, GA, USA, for the week.... read more

Big questions: do I take an ipad or a computer? I have so many gadgets. (I do love them.) Now I have to see if I can upload a blog with photos using only an iPad. This blog is the experiment. My newest gadget is an LG pocket photo printer (popo) that prints the photos on my iPhone. There is no ink. It's Zink or zero ink. The paper is photosensitive in color. It's a pocket sized printer. The practice paper that came with it is sticky sided--peel off the back and stick it somewhere. So I printed a picture of each of my grandchildren and stuck the photos on my black journal notebook. From the photo you'll see that the popo photos are only 2" x 3", smaller than a business card. The clarity is ... read more

Sorry for all the html junk in the last blog. I copied some camper stats from a website, never thinking I would get all the web language. I had a request for some photos, so here are three. It is a cute camper.... read more
