Too much time in Atlanta

I just returned from a trip to New Jersey and spent more time in the Atlanta airport than my four flights combined! I left West Palm on a 5:50 flight for Atlanta, arriving at 7:30 a.m. My scheduled 9 a.m. flight to Newark was delayed an hour and a half, before it was finally cancelled. I was re-booked on a 2:45 p.m. flight and finally got to Newark at 5:00 p.m. So much for leaving West Palm at o'dark hundred to get to Newark at noon.

Friday I helped with the American Express Women's Golf Month sponsor event at Fiddler's Elbow. We hosted a three-hour golf clinic before driving to Upper Montclair Country Club to watch the Sybase Classic. I spent Friday night in the Meadowlands with my room overlooking the New York City skyline. A great view during the late afternoon as the sun was setting as well as seeing the city lit up at night.

Saturday I went into New York City to tour around a bit, then went back to the Sybase Classic before my 6 p.m. flight left Newark. Once again, my flight was delayed for two hours due to the inbound aircraft delayed in Chicago, so I knew I would miss my connecting flight for West Palm in Atlanta. Sure enough, we landed in Atlanta at 10:10 p.m. and my flight for West Palm left at 9:45. I had the "pleasure" of dealing with the nasty Delta ticket agents who had apparently worked some 15-hour shift - so after some dialog, I scored a room voucher at the Country Inn and Suites. By the time I got the shuttle to the hotel and got my room, it was well after midnight. Luckily I was on the first flight out at 8:30 Sunday morning and finally got to West Palm at 10:30 a.m.

After a quick lunch at Bradley's, I headed home to unpack and unwind after too much time in Atlanta! A quick Happy Birthday mention to Brooke, who turns "Sweet 16" today and can't wait to get her license on Tuesday!
