Give or take a few feet, I just took off about 45 mins ago, so I am 3:15 from ATL, then a nice 2.5 hour layover and another hour in the air and another hour to get my bags (Orlando, if you ever flown in there you know what I am talking about) and another 45 to 60 mins in a car and I WILL BE HOME!
I am EXHAUSTED, I was falling asleep in the terminal, but yet I am still awake, and the main reason I am awake right now and not sleeping is I forgot to plug in my mp3 player so I have a DEAD FUCKING BATTERY… Good thing I have my laptop, so I just plug it in for 30 mins and it will get me home, so I moved the tunes over to the laptop as it charged and I can jam as I write this post. They just brought some snacks, nothing to brag about, but I was hungry and thinking I could grab some food at PDX I didn’t eat before I went to the airport.
Stores/bars close at 7:30PM at a fucking airport????
I did find a store open and got me 2 candy bars and an inflatable “neck pillow†which I’ve used for 30 mins and I think it is the greatest thing ever… and it will remain that until I land.
I was smart this trip, I looked online yesterday and saw my row with my aisle seat was now full but if I went back 8 rows I could have another aisle seat with no one in the middle and to make it even better, the window seat is also empty now, so I have a whole 3 seat row for my fat ass.
Oh good, turbulence….
Wonderful, I am now awake. Figures, my mp3 is now charged so instead of plugging my headset into that, I type away talking to you ‘hoes…. See how much I love you all?
I had a good trip over all, a few bumps in the road but nothing too bad to ruin my trip which is nice. This SHOULD be my last flight until we move to Portland, so that is nice, I am getting tired of airports.
Oh good, the kid in front of me is explaining to his mom that his DVD player battery died in middle of lilo and stich, of course he is using loud screams and sequels… thankfully I have some good sony ear phones that are really good with the sound of planes, they was a good buy.
Life will be much better in Portland, I just know it… once we find a place to live that is.
Ok, I’m tired, I’ll finish this later.
***ATL***
6:02AM EST
I get off the plane, screaming kid made the last 20 mins so enjoyable, I love parents who try to bribe their kids into doing things they MUST do like wear a seat belt, put the table up etc.
So I get off the plane, my boarding pass says gate T02, the screen says T02… I am at A12…
Ok, no biggie, I get on the ATL tram and get to terminal T, as soon as I get off, the train announcer says the train is dead for at least 10 mins for maintenance and from what I saw at least 200 people will have to wait…. HA! LOSERS!
So I walk to T02 which was of course on the very far end and there is a lot of construction going on so they have “carpet†down that feels like I am walking on sand, no biggie I am almost at T02, and while passing T05 I see a monitor and do a quick glance….
A26
So now I sit at my gate, dead tired and a migraine starting which is helped by the courtesy carts that scream “BEEP BEEP†that is sitting 20’ from me so the driver can talk and laugh with some other worker… Which after 3 mins she leaves only to come back about 5 mins later and stays at least 5 mins before the bar tender at the bar yells at her to turn off the damn beeping… golly gee… think she should???
I’ve noticed, ATL has the LOUDEST carts at any airport, I really think its too loud to the point of being dangerous.
Fuckers….
I want to be home.
*MCO
Nothing too bad here, the baggage signs say baggage 32, so I wait and wait and notice baggage 31 is also a Delta flight from ATL… and I notice my bad sitting on the floor over near that… The agent was getting ready to grab it as a unclaimed bag, so I got to it and asked what happen, she said it was on the first flight to MCO, so my bag got there before I did.
Boy that makes sense.
