Silvano On The Go

As it had been a few years since I spent thanksgiving in America, I thought it would be a great excuse to visit relatives in Atlanta. I flew Delta for the first time and the journey was fine, though the plane could benefit from a deep clean. Cleared customs easily enough and collected luggage. But then came the real palaver of having to be re-screened, re check baggage etc. as if we were about to re-board the plane. Shoes off, no liquids exceeding 3 oz – so bye bye to the duty free some folks had purchased on the plane and not rechecked. Anyway, that was that. I had visited Atlanta before, in Sep 2005 but much preferred the cooler temperature this time, about 18-20 degrees. Dropping to about 12 by the time we departed. The 8 days were mainly spent with the in-laws; sister in law, husband and kids. Attended some football, or should I say soccer matches, did a school visit and of course – the shopping! We took a 5 hour road trip up to Nashville Tennessee, a new destination for me....
