Atlanta, Georgia

I swear to God we're jinxed! It has only been 24 hours since we touched down in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, and the mayor has already declared a state of emergency downtown. Blue lights are flashing outside our Super 8 Downtown Motel window, and the street has been blocked off down by the corner and all the way up to the towering Westin Building. Last Friday's storm blew some nasty holes in the windows up there in the sky, and now shards the size of 40'' TVs have begun falling from the sky. We feel strangely welcome!

Tomorrow we are off to see The World of Coca-Cola® and the allegedly largest aquarium in the world, both of them located smack in the middle of the local disaster area. And if we haven't gone down all sugar-shocked and ichtyomerized by Friday morning, we will continue on to Athens (which, like Dublin and other European strongholds, all have their almost exact replicas right here in Georgia!). Once there, a good online friend of Kristian's has promised to keep us company and show us the sights around town. We're all excited, and hope that we won't have to wear our hard hats there as well.

From today onwards this page will be updated with travel info every few days. Also, you can read more about our personal encounters with the American way on our separate blogs (find the links under our profile descriptions in the menu on your right).

The journey is on, and we hope that you're ready to take it in with us.

See you around,

Kristian & Jacob
