Finish the Drill

It has been several weeks, and many happenings since my last blog so I would like to apologize about the tardiness of what will be following. Once again, I want to extend many thanks and praises to our supporters in the United States.

Let's recap what has been happening since the last post: Our Diamond Dawgs lost in the College World Series Championship game to the Underdogs of Fresno State, The mighty boys in Silver Britches are ranked the Number One football team in the nation on not only the EA Sports NCAA 2009 College Football Game but also by the Coaches in America, The Dark Knight is breaking box office records and our race for the White House is still as much of a hot mess as it was when we first left the country.

I would now like to take a no holds barred approach to advising the next group (and I pray that there will be one) that globetrots to the country of Georgia.

-bring a small notepad that you can write happenings and events in. While in the RofG it was virtually impossible to keep up with all the things you will see and all the places you will go. With limited internet access, you will not be able to blog whenever you feel like it. I found this out the hard way.

-Take pictures. but not with a camera, silly, like physical pictures that you can give to your newest friends that don't speak you language. This is Stephen Bowman's brainchild and was quite the parting gift. These Native people of Georgia will love this gift and it is something that they will cherish like your their favorite son or daughter.

-Lloyd Christmas said it best, "Some people just aren't cut out for life on the road." You will travel by van/bus/taxi with people that could easily drive on sunday at Watkins Glen, Talladega, or Atlanta Motor Speedway. Most everyone struggled with this at some point and time and dramamine will be your best friend.

-Bathrooms are few and far between, so to avoid having to stop the vehicle that is already moving at the speed of light, go whenever you have the chance.

Now that I've picked a few bones, I would like to leave who ever the next suitors are to the Georgia 2 Georgia Experience with this advice: Be flexible, prepare for the elements, and you only live once. So go for it!
