Well boys & girls: I'm back from vacation again. I hopped over the Atlantic Ocean once again to visit my girlfriend Carrie. Our last vacation was in San Francisco, last September, so it was time for another (short) trip. I left on Friday, May 9th and just got back this morning after a three hour delay (more about that later). This time we visited beautiful Savannah, Georgia, a good 5 hour ride from Tallahassee. Some people told me before I left that it's a mix between St. Augustine and New Orleans, and after visiting I would say I agree. It's a very historic town (by American standards) and the people are very friendly. I loved the historic Riverfront and all its little restaurants and shops; it reminded me a bit of Pier 17 in San Francisco (the touristy part of it).
We had great weather (not too hot, not too cold) and enjoyed some very good meals including one of my favorites at B&D Burgers. They got voted "Best Burgers in Town" 6 years in a row and I can personally say that they deserve that title! Man: it tasted gooood. Anyway: I was lucky to be with my girlfriend on my birthday for the first time in 11 years! Somehow we managed to never be together when either of us had their Bday. So that was cool too.
As usual the week flew by and before I knew it I was on my way back again. As seems to be the case lately I also ran into some delays this time: my flight back out of Atlanta to Amsterdam had a mechanical problem (something about a fuel gage). They weren't able to repair it so we switched planes altogether. I don't know how, but somehow they had a spare plane and we didn't even have to switch seats or anything.
