It was sort of a whirlwind tour actually. Spent a year there one morning :yowsa:

I have no idea what this is, but it lives in Atlanta...

I thought it might be Atlanta's version of 911....

I am sure this is famous but the tour guide was vague about it..

Anytime, anywhere...even Atlanta ????

They even have green trucks there...

So, how come I was in Atlanta you ask (with an extremely intelligent look on your face (yes, even your face RCourt))

Because from where I am at, you pretty much have to go through there to get to this..................
http://bntnews.com/atlanta/ftmyers.jpg


Sorry I did not hook up with anyone. Thought about it after we were on the road and did not have a net connection while at the beach...

Will definitely hook up with you nex time :) I even have a cell phone now (whoopie, joined the 20th century finally...lololol)

Nymph

Jen was sleeping wasn't she?

I've been through that time tunnel a few times myself...it's such a relief to get to the other side ;)

I just thought of something, if all else fails, you could become the newest Atlanta tour guide ...you did such a wonderful job with this :okthumb:

Great pictures. Made me feel like I had been there.....wait....I have been there. Ain't that the town where every street is called Peachtree and some freeking battle had been fought there or something?

We know short cuts!

We know short cuts!

lolol... Unfortunately, did not think about it until we were way down the road. Actually came through heading south at about 6:00am (good choice, rush hour. Garmin kept telling me to go thru town, I told the Garmin bitch to fuck off and took the bypass). Anyway, did not have a connection at the beach at all and found out I did not have the power cord for my laptop, so I was extremely low on power. Didn't have anyway to get in touch except thru the board, so, couldn't get in touch. I was going to suggest dinner when we came through on the way back Monday night (came thru about 8:00pm) and that would have been perfect...

but...

We will be doing it again this summer and will definitely hook up then :okthumb:
