In honor of the 100^th anniversary of flight in Georgia, allow me to commend and recommend the airport service available right here in Brunswick, GA. If you flew into the Golden Isles or to Atlanta via the Brunswick airport in past years and haven't checked out the new and improved airport facility please do so. The new Brunswick terminal offers a snack bar, free WiFi, free baggage carts, ATM and a conference room space. Free short term and long term parking is also offered which certainly makes traveling easier. Ground transportation options include rental car agencies and other transport companies as well as shuttle service by Sea Island Company and FLETC. ASA, the Delta connection, offers several flight choices each day to Atlanta with a short air time of only approximately 37 minutes.

The FAA has awarded the Brunswick Golden Isles Airport a grade of 100 for 3 consecutive years. This rating is based on the operations standards in addition to safety inspections criteria.

Our business and home is on St. Simons Island in Southeast GA. Thousands of avid University of GA football fans come in several days prior to the annual GA Bulldog/FL Gators face off in Jacksonville this Saturday afternoon. The traffic is already getting heavy with many vehicles displaying team flags in their windows and lots of tags with that big black "G" on a red background. I just sat down to read yesterday's local newspaper and the Golden Isles tourism prediction is that this event brings an estimated $1 million a day to our area! Two of my three children run a barbeque restaurant and last year the GA/FL weekend rivaled the July 4^th sales.

I believe it may have been Larry Munson, long-time announcer of Bulldog Football, who hailed St. Simons Island on this weekend as the World's Largest Cocktail Party. I am not attending the game, but will be in the office hoping to meet some of the visitors who are interested in masking this special place their home.

We have recently expanded our real estate business into a building we've remodeled adjacent to our electric car rental business known as Beachcomber Buggies. On the other side of the real estate office, my husband is opening up a snow cone operation as well! He is hoping to have that business up and running by this weekend when the thousands of GA Bulldog fans arrive in mass to attend the GA/FL football game held yearly in Jacksonville, FL. My daughter was in this afternoon preparing for the anticipated additional volume in the family barbeque business, Beachcomber Barbeque, several blocks down. All in all, life is good, very diverse and has never a dull moment. I hope that if you are ever on St. Simons Island, you'll pop in at least one of our endeavors and introduce yourself.

We are living the Beachcomber Lifestyle and invite you to come on down and try it on for size!

We have recently acquired more space next door to our original office space and have created what I believe is an absolutely wonderful atmosphere for serving our clients in a more efficient manner. I hope you will drop by and check us out for your personal tour.

Currently we are planning a FREE homebuyers seminar in our new digs on November 1^st at 7 pm. We will have on hand lenders, home inspectors, an attorney and others to answer any questions or discuss any issues you may have. Most certainly individuals planning to purchase homes need to do their homework and prepare for meeting that goal. We will be there to help you in understanding the process and setting in motion achieving home ownership.

If you are available that evening, or know someone who might benefit from attending this free, no pressure seminar, please let me know.
