I let you when I headed to Georgia to continue paperworks to obtain VivaLaVida registered Under my name. I first obtained several documents and went to the DMV office to ask for my driver license. Happy to produce all documents needed, My joy was short since immigration didn’t confirmed me again ( similar to my North Carolina episode…). After more than 100 miles to go to immigration services, then to Custom and Border Protection in Atlanta Airport, nothing else to do than waiting for a call of DMV in the next 5 to 30 days..!
\n 
\nI then decided to go to North-West Georgia to discover that part of Appalachian.
