Back in Atlanta

So..... here I am back in the sunny (but not all the much warmer) south. Can you believe Alan & Liz are actually nice enough to have me back for a second trip?

I set out for Halifax this morning in a snowstorm - a picture of the snowplows on the runway is below (Along with a shot of 2 really cute girls!).

The flight to Newark was interesting - we circled Long Island for about 30 min before they let us land. We did a loop around the Statue of Liberty & the Empire State Building 4 or 5 times. It was an interesting tour, but unfortunately it meant we landed too late for my bags to make the connection. When I got to Atlanta I was told my bags were still in New Jersey. As we speak (11:02 local time), they are apparently being loaded on to a van to be driven out to me in Alpharetta.

In the mean time, we went out to dinner at "Atlantic Seafood" - had some excellent shrimp and scallops. To round the evening off, Liz had baked some cookies to go with the "Cold Stone Creamery Peanut Butter Cup Perfection" ice cream. Yes... heavy duty calories... but as Liz so aptly put it, "they were splurge-worthy calories."
