Things To Do With A 3½ Hour Layover In Atlanta

January 7th, 2004

A list made December 24, 2003.

» Enter Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
» Go to Chili’s, be seated, wait five minutes for service, leave without ever being acknowledged by waitstaff.
» Direct two confused smokers to where-the-hell they could smoke in the airport (said one, “God Bless Atlanta.”)
» Search for Christmas Eve Worship service announced over PA system, only to discover Inter-faith chapel is outside security zone.
» Ride the between-terminal train to the end of the line.
» Ride the between-terminal train back.
» Tear apart a boarding pass envelope for spare paper so you can make a list entitled “Things To Do With A 3½ Hour Layover In Atlanta”.
» Make a list entitled “Things To Do With A 3½ Hour Layover In Atlanta”.
» Eat dinner at TGI Friday’s.
» Read entire copy of “Why Girls Are Weird” by Pamela Ribon.
» Get hot chocolate.
» Scald tongue.
» Chat with ladies regarding point of rushing to board plane, knowing you’re sitting in seat 3D.
» Go to plane, realize flight loads from back of plane and your waiting to get on the plane was foolish as some hyperactive and obnoxious man has taken your window seat and doesn’t even acknowledge his error.
» Sit in emergency exit row with glorious extra inches of leg room and no hyperactive obnoxious man.
» Depart Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

    You forgot “Talk to sister who’s driving home from Orlando” which would then segue into “Things to do on a 6 Hour Drive Home”…but that list is a lot shorter.

    There is a desk where you can rent a little portable DVD player and a DVD for like $10. It’s awesome. I highly recommend it when stuck in Atlanta airport.

    I think you’re referring to In Motion Pictures, whom I used exactly once on a trip from Atlanta to San Francisco. The player never worked quite right and the people that worked the counter were about as friendly as crack addicts without lighters. This portable DVD player was $264.00 two months ago. Now it’s $198.00. You’re better off doing that.

    And isn’t our airport so much nicer since we added a couple syllables to the name?

    Hmm..I didn’t have a problem but it was a long time ago, so perhaps it is no good anymore. I take my suggestion back.

    Extra syllables make everything nicer.
