Traveling at its Finest!

So here I sit, in the busiest airport in the world. Well, that's what I hear over the loudspeaker. "Welcome to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport."

To my left is a woman who clearly doesn't know the volume of her own voice. And periodically an airport worker shuttles individuals in cadillac-esque golf carts to and fro of individuals either incapable, or unwilling to walk. "Beep-beep, toot-toot, excuse me!"

Just in case anyone ever wondered why I prefer road trips.

I'm more of a road trip person myself. I've never been on a plane because I'm too scared! I feel much better driving. Planes are much faster, but there's a lot of fun to be had along the way if you drive. Next month I'll be getting on a plane for the first time. What's it like at the airport? I've heard horror stories and good stories alike.

Flying is a necessary evil. Unfortunately, the glamour of yester-year is gone. In flight meals are not common unless you fly first class. And even in recent years when they serve soft drinks they don't give you the full can. It dissappointing. Traveling by plane is no different than traveling by bus, because that is what they have pretty much been reduced to...greyhound buses with wings, screaming children, smelly passengers and all.

Airports are hit and miss. For the most part I get through Atlanta with ease. It was pretty crowded for a Friday night.

Our flight was late, but that was due to weather.

Again like I said, a necessary evil.
