Made it to Tifton, my last stop. It's about 35 miles from Moultrie, GA, and not much farther to Tallahassee. Unfortunately, that makes Tifton about 4 hours away from Savannah. Incidentally, even though this morning was free time with which we could explore Savannah, I was scheduled for a meeting to last from 8-10 a.m. The meeting lasted until 11:30. We boarded the bus at noon. So much for seeing Savannah, other than the late-nite stroll I took along river street before I went to bed.
We pulled in to the Tifton experiment station for a catered dinner, and it was truly southern. Just about everything was fried. I don't know how much more fried food I can take this week. Anyway, they served cole slaw, potato salad, fried shrimp, shrimp cocktail, fried tilapia, fried grouper, fried catfish, fried crabs, fried oysters, french fries, and cheese grits. Ummm... My table was populated by a guy from India, one from Texas A & M by way of Michigan, one from Texas A & M by way of Idaho, and two Lubbock-area representatives. They were greatly amused by my obvious elation at being served grits. Not as much joy as I took in the grits, but they enjoyed them nonetheless.
After this repast, we were treated to a slide show chronicling this old breeder's international travels - complete with witty anectdotes. Following the slide show, we boarded our buses and went to the Courtyard Marriott; unfortunately, my roomate booked our rooms at the other Marriott. It was within walking distance though, so we eventually checked into our room. I sleep now.

Have you fallen off the planet? Say It Isn't So! Or is it that you're just internet deprived? You've been Out Of Touch for a while. You don't need travel to give you something to Blog. You're a Family Man, so I'm sure there's a lot going on. Life is more exciting in Clemson, isn't it? With your Adult Education, you can be very enlightening. I know you didn't marry a Rich Girl, so you only have access to the internet at work for now. I'm sure you're looking forward to internet access being available in your home after the Feast. Access at home will give you more One On One contact with your fellow Bloggers. We will expect much better Blogging habits then.
