Visit the Country of Georgia

Julie: Gamor Jova, and welcome to Passport to Adventure from the Caucasus Mountains. I'm Julie Conover. Mark: And I'm Mark Jennings. The country of Georgia was once an important trading center along the silk route which connected Europe and Asia. Julie: In this episode, we’ll explore the walled city of Tblisi, where exotic cultures and ancient religions have coexisted for centuries. Mark: We’ll travel high into the magnificent Caucasus Mountains and board old soviet military helicopters to ski this remote untouched terrain. Julie: We’ll meet the proud Georgian people, whose spirit has remained intact through their continuing struggle for independence and prosperity. Mark: We’ll take you to Vienna, Austria, an elegant cosmopolitan city and the gate way to the new frontiers of Eastern Europe. Julie: It all happens next on Passport to Adventure. Mark: Our Georgian journey began in Vienna, an ideal starting point for destinations in the former Soviet Union. Several international carriers have regular flights in Tblisi. We were scheduled on the Georgian airlines' once weekly service which we would soon find out doesn’t always leave on time. Female: The plane is still in Tblisi. Approximately, the plane will arrive tomorrow morning at 10:45. Mark: That’s for sure? Female: No. Mark: Not for sure. Okay. Julie: Well, it was time to test my personal travel theory. Trips that begin with some sort of mishap, usually turn out the best. We’ll see. Female2: Alright, good evening. The doors will close in 45 minutes. Our crew is commanded by Ghen Hatchpark. Julie: Many of our fellow passengers were regulars on this flight and knew exactly how to make the best of the basic of amenities. We spent the entire three hours getting acquainted with this fascinating and trepid group of travelers. Mark: After flying over a Romania and the black sea, we finally caught our first glimpse of what was once the richest state in the Soviet Union. At one time, Georgia sea side resorts and ski areas were popular vacation spots for wealthy Russian families. Now, after decades of struggle, the country is rebuilding itself.
