Well.....i hope no one minds, but i found this very interesting description of a trip from new castle to atlanta online. It seems to match our trip amazingly well-so i just copied and pasted it. I hope the author never finds out.
The trip to Atlanta was quite interesting -- and very very hot. I felt like I was at yoga. At least my clothes were as wet as they are after yoga. My body was a little stiffer after sitting in the car for so many hours. We saw Uncle Burt and Aunt Midge for lunch on the way down, and eventually made it to Debbie's for the night. Then off to Atlanta, in the 103 degree weather (and the unairconditioned LHS pulling the U haul it). We saw the apartment which is in a house on a beautiful, quiet, tree-lined street. It should be terrific for David and Jo. It is close to Emory, but Athens and the UGa are FAR away. Not going to be a fun commute for David. Lots and Lots of time in the car -== maybe gift certificates for Audio Books are appropriate birthday presents. Anyway, we got all of the stuff unloaded to a Uhaul storage area, and then went to Charrow's to put the top layer of the wedding cake (and a "new House" chocolate zucchini cake) in her freezer until David and Jo's apartment is ready. David's introduction to Teaching Assistant registration was a little confusing, but he meets with the professor whose course he will be TAing in tomorrow and will get more details re: expectations and what the work will be. I took a bus tour of UGa campus -- could put around 25 Colby's in the space (4 miles from one end to the other). Then David and I headed off to Calloway Gardens, which has many lakes as well as many different types of trees, etc. hiking trails, and a beach on a lake == which was welcome since it was 103 to 104. The next day we went to Warm Springs, and the Little White House, which was FDR's retreat. Very interesting and well worth a trip.
