This travel guidebook encompasses a driving trip taken in June 2019 to all eight southeastern states over an eleven- day period! All attractions in this travel guidebook have been personally experienced-some several times. If you choose to replicate the June 2019 trip (which excluded stops in Atlanta and Savannah-other than drive- throughs), it would entail driving 2,992 miles-mostly interstate highways. Happy traveling wherever or whatever you choose for your vacations or even day excursions! For our family, taking a leisure trip has proven to be a memorable experience. Personal feelings of a traveler, at any one time, depend upon many variables that include: being lost, weather, roads, confusing directions, traffic, road conditions, tiredness, and disrespectful drivers.

We face constant problems such as nuclear proliferation, wars, depressions, terrorism, plagues, global warming and pollution. If we examine our problems, we will see that these problems are really the symptoms of our difficulties, not the cause. In fact, the cause of our problems, in each case, is not the symptoms but our biology-our basic instincts. If we look at our history we can see how dramatically our environment has changed over the past twenty thousand years. On the other hand, our instincts evolved over twenty million years ago. Our instincts consist of sensual instincts, motor instincts and reproductive instincts. We adapt to our motor (external) instincts relatively easily through logical knowledge. We adapt to our sensual (internal) instincts through emotional knowledge. On the other hand, it is more difficult to adapt to our reproductive instincts. The fundamental principle in the U. S. is to allow choice (such as we have done with cigarettes) and to use education and positive and negative reinforcement to encourage responsible choice. Sex is a personal choice. Reproduction is a social choice as well. If parents do not provide for their children society must bear the cost. As a child, a parent or a grandparent, we have all had experiences with parenting. It is our responsiblity to the next generation that we use our knowledge of responsible parenting to reduce irresponsible parenting in the future.

Born in Pecs, Hungary, Dr. Thomas Z. Lajos survived the Nazi occupation and the "Soviet liberation" of Hungary. He graduated as an MD in 1956 and worked as a house surgeon in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution in October 1956. Following the defeat of the uprising by the Soviet troops, the author escaped to Austria and settled in Canada and the USA, where he completed his postgraduate training in cardiothoracic surgery. He practiced his specialty for over thirty-five years in Buffalo, NY and served as a clinical professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo. In this publication, the author presents the circumstances of his early life, medical education, and training as a surgeon. Dr. Lajos recounts his "incredible" personal and professional "journey" from an oppressed communist country to the free and democratic West, where by means of intelligent decisions, hard work, and good fortune, he achieved his dreams. Filled with analyses, memories, photographs, stories, writings, and much more, this autobiography retells the author's truly extraordinary story."
