Saturday – Travel

Tuscaloosa, AL > Birmingham > Atlanta

Ugh.  Flashback to my Thursday post….  

“I am not a kid anymore.  When will I grow up?”

Thank God my flight wasn’t until 11:45a!!!

I woke up around 5:30 and wished I were dead.  Why?  Why do I do this?

Slept until 8 and woke up feeling somewhat better.

Got packed and on the road around 9:15.  

Why did I wear the one hoodie I brought on this trip, to the bar last night?

It smells like an ashtray!!!

Stopped at McD’s for some much needed greasy food and Coke.  I don’t think I have ever waited so long in a drive thru line.  It was over 15 mins.

Am in the South, so no “bagel” version of breakfast.  Horseshit!

Had the biscuit.  Yuk.  But it soaked up the vodka in my belly and could have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten!

The drive to Birmingham went fine, I was just really tired.

Sat at the gate about 15 mins and was on the brink of puking from the horrible smoke smells coming from my hoodie.  I can not get to ATL fast enough -  I must find Fabreeze!

Slept on flight – the whole 27 minutes of it.

Walked a few miles from the D gate to the Skytrain.  

Ventured downtown to the Ritz.  I am quite giddy because as a child, my dream was to stay at a Ritz.  Today is the day!  First time.

Ehh…  not impressed.   Excellent customer service, but the room and hotel in general is not that impressive.

Walked around for about an hour looking for a snack, bottled water and Fabreeze.  I am brain dead today, so this expedition should of taken about 20 minutes.  But I am learning how to use the GPS on my phone and it’s not going well.

Sunday – Happy Easter!

Maryland vs Georgia Tech

I slept for about 10.5 hours last night.  OMG!  I needed it so much.  My four hour avg had caught up to me.

It’s been several years since I’ve been to GA Tech, so I wasn’t exactly sure where I was going.  Thankfully, I ran into a co-worker in the lobby and followed him over.

Even though it was 6:20a when I arrived at the truck, I was giddy with excitement – it was my football truck!!!  I love my engineers!!!  This was quite the bonus too because they are getting moved to another show this fall.  So I will have a different truck and different engineers.  Booooo!

The day went fine.  Nothing exciting to report.

I am an idiot because I booked my travel home for tomorrow morning.  I could of easily made the 7-ish and the 9:45p tonight.  Ugh.

Had dinner at the hotel bar.  Actually, a very good burger.

Am sad that I don’t have any more softball until the post season
