And he's back from his trip! I have been on trips before, but why is it so weird to be back home and why do I feel sad to be back home after this trip? Anyway, let me say it was a adventurous trip. With unexpected and unusual happenings, but I really wouldn't wanna have trade it for anything else. Meeting Jan and her Family and Friends was great, I felt comfy right away. The comfy atmosphere trough out the seven following days could not ruin anything! I witnessed that! I have seen alot, laughed alot, good food, friendly people, etc, etc. I'm home now but I miss them already.
Yeah okay, a few things happened, just a few, lol. But like I said, 'nothing could ruin the comfy atmosphere.' What happened? Well, at first I couldn't stay at Jan's place cause of her dogs. We tried the hardest, but no success. I felt so sorry for Jan, the situation dragged us both. It was a sad situation and we both had to find solutions for my staying elsewhere. Perhaps staying at Jan's friends houses? Or maybe a motel? It took us almost a whole day to figure out what to do, on top of that my bankcard didn't work, sigh! I couldn't get money in the US, although my card was recently activated for worldwide.
And we were already at a motel to check in, but no success with a not working bankcard. I called ING a few times, but they told me everything is okay, 'there was nothing wrong with my card.' In the end ING told me there was a virus in their system, later on ING helped me out and I could get money with my card, only that took a while. End good all good? Yeah, second good news was that I could stay over at Jan's son's house. Jan and I would rather have that I stayed at her house, but that was not an option anymore. We both had a long day after solving my bankcard and finding a place to stay.
Wow, and the many bugs and several other kinds of insects what I witnessed, I thought that was only in Africa or the rain forest. It was warm in Georgia, Georgia houses in the forest witness lots of bugs and insects, aswell other creatures, like snakes and scorpions, yikes! On Thursday I had again bad news, I couldn't stay anymore at Jan's Son's house, they were going on a holiday. Letting me stay alone in their house wasn't a option, it was back to the motel where Jan and I tried to check me in the first time. This time with success, I stayed for my last three nights in the motel.
The motel wasn't that far from Jan's house, only you need a car to get there. The motel was nice, friendly people and a great room, though this motel was in the middle of know here. I had good sleeps there, though it wasn't always a pleasure staying in that motel. Jan picked me up in the early afternoon for go out's and other fun stuff. I choosed for the afternoons so Jan could have time for herself aswell, it was all good. What a adventure so far right? Going from here to there and then the not working bankcard. And last but not least I lost my wallet on our last day together. Sigh!
We laughed about it in the end, cause we struggled already trough so many happenings together, we even joked about it. "What's going on with us?" I called ING once again to block my bankcard, a friendly ING guy told me that they will block the card and I will get a new card in a few days. I lost my old bankcard and a few other important (but replaceable) carts, aswell money, plus a second house key, and ofcource my wallet. I actually thought I lost it and already said goodbye to it, but!
On the very last day, when we were on our way to the airport for my journey back, a police officer called and told that they found my wallet. Woot! A miracle! Thanks to Jan who took care of the fact that a police officer would call if they find my wallet. Though the police office was closed, and we were almost already on the airport. My wallet will be send to my address in Holland, end good all good? Yes! Sigh, all these happenings didn't effect my staying with Jan. We had great and good times aswell, I met several friends of Jan, I met her Family. We all had several fun out's.
We visit the MLK Musea, Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic park, and visited many, many more sight seeings. My visit was way to short, that's for sure. Though I seen so many things what I wouldn't have miss for any kind of gold. Been trough alot aswell, but, it was all good in the end. I miss the people I have met, specially Jan, it wasn't easy coming back to a empty, lonely house. I thought it was easy, but no. Now it's time to adjust again, hopefully I will meet Jan again, she's just the best!!
