solana....SKYPE (or how ever you spell it). I have a neighbor that hooked up a video camera to his computer. Then got on skype and has been communicating with his kids in Lithuania for the summer (btw 5yo and 2yo).
Also, I know the distance to GA. I'm local to the DC area as well. You can drive it in 8hrs. Just got back from FL as a matter of fact.
You said that financially you are sound, so get a cheap air line ticket. SW runs specials, $79 one way (or less).
Guess what I am trying to say, and its something I said to my FWAH, if you want something badly enough, you WILL make it happen. Try not to get stuck in the "whoa is me". Its hard not to, trust me, I fight it every day. You can make it happen.
