Go figure, everytime I try to access my LJ account the internet cafe blocks it...until today! Georgia...interesting place.

Just a quick note to let you know I made it to Staging fine! The experience has been great thus far and I'll be able to finally breath when I finally make it into Georgia on Saturday morning.

If all goes as planned I should be getting my invite within the next couple of weeks so I just have to hang in there a bit longer. In the meantime I've been ( Read more... )

Ok it's been a really busy couple of days and this is the first access to the internet I've had in a while. 36 hours after leaving orlando we arrived in San Antonio. It's my first time here and it's really has exceeded my expectations. Enroute to TX we drove through Biloxi and New Orleans. Wow. I've been through my fair share of really horrific ( Read more... )
