No worries about coming off as patronizing.  I like it when someone takes the time to explain things to me, without getting impatient because they have to do it.  I knew about Alabama being south of me, I actually nearly live in Alabama, only about five miles from the border, but I didn't know Georgia was that close.  So one could drive south and go through Alabama to Florida, or either go east or west and go through Georgia to get there.  I'm thinking it's east though, because I think either Arkansas or Texas is west of me, but I can't remember which.  Talk about really getting OOC, talking about geography!  Lol.
