I've made it to Atlanta! I haven't seen any ghosts or witches but I have seen a couple of kids dressed as skeletons and a wheelchair attendant who had a great big bushy tail sticking out from under his uniform vest. I'm not closer to Athens, but at least it's movement. Fingers crossed, my flight is still scheduled to go to Amsterdam and then onward to Athens. I've said a few travel prayers and hopefully they're being answered.
On my flight from Richmond to Atlanta I sat next to a very nice gentleman who works for Lego. If you didn't already know Lego is building a huge plant outside of Richmond. My grandson is a HUGE Lego fan and I asked if when the factory is open there would be tours. Eoin (pronounced Owen) told me there wouldn't be because Lego has many proprietary things which are kept secret. Who knew? He was a very interesting seat companion. He's Irish originally but lives in Copenhagen, Denmark and has worked and lived around the world for a number of different corporations - everything from Coca Cola and Pepsi to pharmaceuticals and now Lego. As I've often said, my favorite part of traveling now is meeting people from different countries and cultures and with different life experiences from my own. It's from that I feel my life is enriched.
Wish me luck. Hopefully the next thing I write will be from Athens.
