We got in to Miami fairly late last night, but the fair this morning at Greater Miami Academy wasn't until 9am, so it wasn't so bad. I should mention that it is quite warm here in Miami, and was much the same in Orlando yesterday. Temps are around mid-80s Fahrenheit, (high-20s C) with more than 50 percent humidity, so after the school fair we figured there was only one thing to do -Miami Beach! We can both say we've swum in the Atlantic Ocean now, and, oddly en...

The fair today was at Forest Lake Academy, Apopka, FL, which is right near Florida (Adventist) Hospital. While we were in Orlando, we figured we had to visit at least one of the theme parks. The students recommended Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, so we decided to head there and save Disney for California. It was a fun afternoon - plenty of cool roller-coasters and other themed rides. The 3D/4D rides just about made us both crook! Anyway, after our ...

The fair at Georgia-Cumberland Academy today was fun; the school provided a packed lunch for us, which was heaps cool - it made us feel like we were back in school with our juices, pieces of fruit, and other little snacks all packaged in a brown paper bag. And just like school, we were all trying to trade each other for our favourites! After the fair, we made a bee-line for Orlando, Florida, which was about an 8 ½ hour drive.

First on our list of scheduled fairs this week was Greater Atlanta Adventist Academy, Atlanta. After the fair it was only about an hour and a half drive to our next stop - Calhoun, Georgia. Tonight, we are staying with Lance Bolton's sister, Kim, and her husband Todd (Hunt) who live in one of the staff houses on the Georgia-Cumberland Academy campus. Kim loves her animals—especially horses—of which she has at least half-a-dozen (don't quote me). Apart from he...

Despite my rip on Atlanta yesterday, we had an awesome time checking out different parts of the city today. This morning, we took a tour of CNN Headquarters, where we were shown the inner workings of the news network. Then we made our way over to the Georgia Aquarium, which it boasts is the World's Largest Aquarium, with over 8 million gallons of water, more aquatic life than any other aquarium including whale sharks, beluga whales, penguins, jellies, and more....
