I’m 37,000 feet somewhere over the middle of the country winging my way to Atlanta for the first part of my summer road trip. I’ll be here through the weekend taking in a Braves game and, as I’ve discovered, biking around the city on the Beltline.
That looks like a blast to me.
I can’t say how much I love taking my Friday to a new city (or anywhere really). Riding a bike is one of the absolute best ways of seeing a place, either for the first time or again with new eyes.
There’s a lot to see in Atlanta, at least according to their tourist bureau’s website. Of course first things are first and I’ll be needing to check in at Georgia State University where I’ll be staying.
But for the next couple of hours I’m 37,000 feet up in the lap of luxury. I managed a first class ticket for this trip on Delta and it’s great. Basically I”ve got my own tiny little cabin.
Pretty cool, eh?
It actually converts to a bed but, unfortunately, try as I might I wasn’t able to get more than an hour or so and hence, this post.
I might get another hour in before we land (around 6:30 AM), but it looks like I’m going to be a bit worse for wear today. Won’t be the first time.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
