The South Riding RV Travels

752

13th-15th November 2012 - Atlanta GA to McDonough GA to Fayetteville GA

The last bit of our journey this year took us through Atlanta. We fly home from here on the 15th.
Roads in American cities are busy but here we have seven lanes and traffic is flowing smoothly. Going the other way it is totally clogged up and the jam is almost five miles long.
This was an extraordinary RV at our last stop at McDonagh. The sides have a vinyl wrap which contains photographs of favourite places the owners have been. They are as travelled as we are and we recognised many of the places.
The map has little dots showing where each photograph was taken. The back of the RV is covered in pictures of Nascar since they had both raced in their earlier days.
The other side is covered in military pictures mainly aircraft carriers on which he had served and actual aircraft he had helped maintain. Everyone comments on this RV. They left the following morning.
Ours is much more non-descript particularly since we have now covered it up and put it into store. It will stay here until we return for our next voyage.
We got a lift to the airport at Atlanta. This is the new international terminal. It is linked to the other five terminals and the domestic terminal by an underground train. The airport is reputed to be the busiest in the US.
We spotted this display of glass as we visited the terminals looking for somewhere to eat. We actually arrived there six hours before our flight departed so we had time to kill.
Another glass display, these are pieces by Chihuly, whose work we have seen before in the gardens at Phoenix.
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson international airport is the base hub for Delta airlines but many others fly here. We flew home with British Airways on a Boeing 777.

Until next time.....
