Well, then Covington, Georgia might just be calling your name! But before you pack your marmalade sarnies and best Union Jack tea towel, here's the lowdown on getting from the UK to this charming Southern town.

Hitting the Highway (or Should We Say, Byway?): From Atlanta to Covington
Once you've landed and wrangled your luggage, you've got a couple of choices to reach Covington:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- Rent a Car: This gives you the most freedom to explore Covington and beyond. Just remember, driving in the US is on the right-hand side, so don't get into a spot of bother with a wrong turn!
- Public Transport: Atlanta has a decent public transport system (MARTA), but it doesn't stretch all the way to Covington. You could take MARTA part of the way and then grab a taxi or rideshare service for the rest.

Covington is a delightful town, but compared to the hustle and bustle of London, things move at a slower pace here. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Southern Drawl: Don't be surprised if the locals sound like they're perpetually asking a question. That's just the Southern drawl! They're likely being friendly, so a friendly "howdy" back will do just fine.
- Sweet Tea and Hospitality: Be prepared for a warm welcome. Southerners are known for their hospitality, so don't be surprised if someone offers you a glass of sweet tea (it's basically iced tea with a whole lotta sugar) or strikes up a conversation.
Alright, Alright, I'm In! How Do I Get There?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Here's a quick recap:
- Fly into Atlanta (ATL).
- Rent a car or use public transport and rideshare services to get from Atlanta to Covington (about an hour's drive).
