My day started at 2:30am... Had to wake up early because it was recommended by Delta to arrive at the airport three hours early, for you to be checked in and ready to go before your international flight.
Now what Delta recommends is not necessarily what they believe in, I found out. We arrived at the airport at 3:00am because out flight was for 6:00am, they don't open till 4:30am.
So fast forward, on the plane from New Orleans to ATL taxiing to runway, Pilot, "Sorry folks we are going to have to turn back around to refuel"... One hour later...7:00am, "Prepare for takeoff".
Made it to ATL with only minutes to spare. Poor Danielle had to keep up with me, thought we were going to miss our flight.
Now, I should probably stop complaining. We got on the bus and met, Fernando. Fernando is a very knowledgeable, energetic, and proud tour guide. He talked to us about everything you really could within a twenty minute bus ride. I actually think Fernando loves Mc Donald's, but its a working theory... We will come back to that later.
On the bus ride to the hotel I saw many things, the Intel manufacturing plant, many fast food restaurants, SHADED COFFEE!, but the thing I really noticed was the street art; it was much more in-depth then back home. Arriving at the hotel was fun, Fernando told us that if we step over the yellow line we could experience the free healthcare (get hit by a car). After getting settled in the hotel, with our beautiful mountain view, we took a walk to get lunch.
The city was booming with activity, Zumba competitions, angry-bird vendors, music, and horny cars. It was a nice walk around, to get the feel of the city. I don't know about anyone else but I like to be aware of my surroundings. Once we arrived back to the hotel we had our orientation, and announced ourselves to everyone with a fun fact, did you know Austin is a Gemini? I didn't.
So as I finish up this post, I will let you know I am bringing my camera tomorrow so expect pictures. Now let me go, I need a drink.
