Hello! Guess where I am headed... ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Yes, I
know, I was just there a month and a half ago. The redeeming factor is that I
will only be there thirty-eight minutes. Thirty-eight minutes to catch a
connecting flight in the Atlanta airport seems daunting, but my gate is only
two down from where I will exit. That’s one benefit about flying Airtran, you
do not have the nightmare that is a Delta flight in Atlanta. Delta basically
owns the Atlanta airport, so navigating the huge facility is a challenge. I
have to admit, I am not too fond of Airtran though. Everything about this
flight has been unpleasant, except the view. It’s 6:30 AM and the sky is so
gorgeous. It’s the only thing that’s keeping me from being a sourpuss on what
is typically a pleasant flight out of Bishop Airport. 
My carry-ons are not
safely stored because the flight attendant said that they could take my
backpack and did not offer to help me. Instead of disturbing my aisle mates and
forcing help, I have my backpack shoved partial under my seat with no foot
space. The in-flight snack is two non-descript packaged cookie/crackers that
I’m not sure if I want to try. Also, I chose seat F because I wanted a window
seat, but that was a bad idea because shifting to the third seat from the aisle
is difficult and uncomfortable. I MISS MIDWEST! Seriously, fresh baked cookies
on the plane were probably the best thing ever and the flight attendants were
accommodating and wonderful. I can not believe how far away from Boston I have
to fly to get there. That is my real destination, by the way, and I can’t wait
to get there. No idea what I’m going to do there, but I’m looking forward to
it. I know my first steps will be to navigate the shuttle, subway, and streets
and wrestle my luggage downtown to have lunch with my sister. In the Airtrain
magazine, they have a picture of a Memorial Day tradition that I am going to
attempt to see if they have not gotten rid of it.
The past week has been spent packing, with family, and at my
friend, Brittany’s wedding. It was great to see a lot of people before I left,
but there were some I did not get to see. I am having a birthday party the day
after I get back, so I hope to see everyone then. I am official gone until July
14th. I am already realizing many things I forgot. For more on my
packing, you will have to check out my study abroad blog. For now, enjoy these
pictures from the last few days. Keep an eye out for many more blog posts soon
to come.
