The flight in was uneventful, which is always good. Eventful flights may give you fun stories to tell later but they kind of suck when they are actually happening. Got the rental car and had a bad feeling about it. It was a Ford Fusion, which normally would be just...

So the intention was to take a little trip down south for my birthday. Spend a couple of days in Atlanta, then three nights in Charleston, three nights in my beloved Savannah, and then back to Atlanta for a night, with some good road trip fun along the way. Now some...

We shall call today the day of way too much food. As many of you know, I love food but food, often, doesn’t love me back. It’s all the glorious consequence of having a significant chunk of gastric system removed in order to get rid of cancer and while I am able to eat...

Many of you will remember the Plucky Survivors See America tour that me and my late friend Mary took around various parts of the US. They involved lots of driving, lots of food, lots of silly roadside attractions (and a few serious ones), and cows. It’s a long...

I got a little bit later of a start than I intended because I’m on vacation and I don’t really need to get up as early as my stupid schedule was dictating. I like to keep busy so I wind up cramming so much stuff in that I can never get to it all unless I start at...

Georgia Traveloguey Why are you going there? That has been the most common question I have received when I told people I was going to Atlanta and Savannah for my birthday vacation. The reasons are long and varied. Food is a big part of it – I love southern food and...
