Yes, I'm here. Got all the way here without getting lost. Not so lucky trying to get to the car wash, driving around in circles, then gave up.

Asian Tom will be here November 8th. Happy to be home, at last.

As for Macon, haven't done that in quite a while, but it used to be a piece of cake just staying on 75. LONG time ago, though.

Looking @ a 9 yr. old AAA trip tic it shows 285 exits going BOTH East & West as you approach Atlanta. They BOTH loop around Atlanta & BOTH hook up to I 75 south of Atlanta.
The mileage appears to be almost the same. Which 285 SHOULD I TAKE- EAST OR WEST of Atlanta???????????????

Take west.

Sign me...still living in Atlanta and can't wait until we retire in 3 months!

If your coming through Atlanta on the weekend stay on 75, it was smooth sailing. It's a straight shot and you won't get lost, just stay to the left and follow the lanes marked 75. It was easy to drive and plus the downtown area was beautiful.

Be sure to check the schedules for ball games.

I just checked, and both the Falcons and the Braves are out of town on the weekend I plan on passing through....thanks for all the very useful advice, I appreciate it..

One more question...coming down I-75 are there service areas for gas fill ups on the Interstate, or do you have to exit the highway...I'm thinking it may vary by State...once again, thanks for your help

You must exit.
