Hi All

 

On arrival in Atlanta after an 8.5 hour flight not the 6.5 hour flight I put in my report yesterday, I looked at the wrong set of flight times :-(. I whizzed through immigration due to the number of desks being open, I moved onto baggage reclaim well the first one. Anyone that hasn't flown into Atlanta on an International flight, you go through the entry procedure of immigration, baggage reclaim and customs. You then have to put your cases onto a conveyer belt to take them to the main terminal, while you have to go through another security screening to join the domestic populous. Having got through the other side of this check point, you have 2 options, you can either walk to the main terminal maybe taking in the individual gate areas.

The second option is the easiest, you take the underground shuttle train.

 

Having reclaimed my luggage for the second time, I went outside to find the shuttle to the Renaissance Hotel which would be my home for the next 3 days.

I was given room 819 which is fairly central in the Hotel and most will know or have heard of the wonderful views you get from this Hotel.

 

I was told before I left about local shopping for the essentials provisions for the room while spotting from the balcony. After it had got dark I took the walk to see what was available. Took get to these, which are 24 hour petrol stations, you go out the main front door and turn left to the car park. Walk the full length of the Hotel towards some Delta Hangars and you will come to a road, going left to right. Turn right and you should see a set of traffic lights, word of warning here, there is no pavement on this road. When you get to the lights you will see a restaurant over the lights and on the left, crossing the lights again take care as there isn't a pedestrian crossing signal. Carry straight on up past the restaurant until you come to another set of lights, these do have a pedestrian crossing. You need to go left from the direction you were coming from, once you have crossed over, keep going straight. You will go over a bridge over a Highway then you will see the 2 petrol stations, a Shell station on the left and another on the other side of the road which I can't remember the company. I found that the other station had the better selection from sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks, beer and sundry items. I felt safe walking up there at night and it's reasonably well lit. As a clue to cost saving, Hotel beer $4.50 for 12 ounces, petrol station $5.99 for 6 pack of 16 ounce cans.

 

Enough waffle, the following were noted from the balcony till the light went, then a few more were added using SBS. For those taking SBS to Atlanta, the only airlines that showed on the radar screen were, AirTran 737's, Spirit Airbuses and some of the Delta heavies, mainly the ones that come to Europe. The usual European carriers and Far East carriers as they do here in Europe also show up. I have noted all that were read off but mainly those that used the nearest runway, it was possible to read the other side of the airport. But I was operating solo and rusty from spotting at airports where nearly all movement might be needed. :-)
