Well, if you've ever fancied a road trip, September is a beautiful month for it (hint hint)
mind you, Canada to Georgia, how long would that take? weeks? a year?

For those of you going to a con for the first time I strongly reccomend the sight below, it will make your experience even better.

Don't worry Seryn you should be able to find sticky cinnamon buns in Georgia. They won't be made with the authenticity of the northern states. The buns are a comfort food that when consumed with a cup of coffee or cocoa on a cold winters morning instantly makes you feel warmer. Georgia being a lower latitude city can only get so cold.
Seryn I don't mean to give you a hard time, but Eurpeans often have difficulty grasping the literal scale of the USA and Canada. The distances are enormous. A friend of mine was hosting a cousin of his from West Germany, back before they torn down the Berlin wall. His cousin wanted to see the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Washington DC and New York City and Yellowstone park and Disneyland. My friend and I live in southern California. So my friend tells his cousin yes to Disneyland and maybe to the Grand Canyon and everything else he needs to get back on a plane for. So they wind up driving to the Grand Canyon, a all day drive. They stay there a couple of days and drive back. On the way back the cousin asks if he can drive my friend says sure I'll take a nap, just wake me before we get to this critical turn in the road. My friend wakes up two hours later ask his cousin if he made the turn and just didn't wake him. The cousin says yes don't worry everything is fine. My friend is uneasy, but plays along. A hour later my friend realizes that his cousin never made the turn, when he notices on a road sign that they are not in Arizona or California, but Utah. The cousin was used to the mentallity of a small country where if you get lost in Germany and drive far enough you will either find a ocean to the north, a border to the south, or a Russian soldier to the east. The USA is like that it just goes on and on.

Seryn, I am flattered.
I'd love to go, if for nothing more than to meet everybody, BUT September is my Softball Provincial Championships and National Championships (if we make it, and I'd like to play there one more time).
They tend to chew up most of my vacation time.
Normally I can't resist the "please with a cherry on top".

I only like bing cherries.
Can't stand those canned marachinos. Why do they ruin perfectly good cherries by dying them uber-red and dousing them in syrup?
Though I do like shirley temples for some reason. I always order one when I go to Olive Garden. No idea why. And I haven't been to an Olive Garden since I moved to SC.
Now I want a shirely temple!! And some breadsticks.
