You'll be fine as long as you like sweet tea. The regional dialects are 
smoothing out as everyone 'learns to talk like the man on the 6 o'clock 
news'. 

Back in the '90s I found the older white speakers in North Georgia almost 
incomprehensible. I did better asking directions from blacks because they 
spoke the standard African-American dialect.  In the '70s we set up a 
plant in central Georgia and I couldn't understand either.
