(ok equestrians and animal lovers, i am just kidding. i am a rider from waaay back)

We planned ahead and traded our timeshare week in Vegas back in January for a week at the Surf Club 8/30 - 9/6. The check hit the bank account last week and we used it to purchase our plane tickets.

Now the loooong wait begins...

Rob, you two have to move south.
Our property taxes are going up as well. ... About $30 a year.
I know, why bother?

You also have two girls looking towards college in a couple of years?
Legal residents of Georgia can go to state college/university with high school grades of A's & B's totally FREE with a stipend for board and books as well. The kids continue to go "free" as long as they continue with a A/B average.

We found this out after we moved to Georgia but know one couple who moved here from NJ with their two sons, specifically for this reason.

Thank you sooooo much for the update on your low taxes and free college in Georgia! If I didn't like you so much, I would start with the southern college jokes!

By the way....condolences on the loss of your mascot. You did know the Georgis Bulldog mascot passed away this weekend?

Next Aruba trip in

Yes, the sports news led off with Uga's death. He was only 10 years old and died of congestive heart failure. Uga was supposed to be buried in a private ceremony, I believe today, in a marble vault in the Southwest corner of Sanford Stadium in Athens with the other former mascots.

College for FREE and did I read that correctly a stipend for room and board? What a deal. Makes me think seriously about going back for another degree. Does this count for those of us who are a little older or only for "children" of parents who live there? Hmmmm...

Gotta love Georgia, eh Lisa? That's how I went to college (at UGA, I might add)...unfortunately, I never got the degree

By the way, Lisa, how was your trip?

UGA is about the best in these parts. Unless of course you are an alumni of Alabama or Tennessee. Then you know what they would say.

The trip was fabulous as always! Thanks for asking! I am working on a trip report and trying to go through 2000 photos.
