Dec 22 Friday – Christmas in Aiken Day 2- Flight to Augusta
We had a two hour wait in Atlanta for DL4998 to Augusta. This was a Bombardier CRJ-200 which is about 50 passengers. So there weren’t a lot of people waiting in the terminal. I like that about small planes, not so … Continue reading

My alarm woke me up at 6am as planned, but I was not ready to get up. I probably could have slept another 2 hrs easy. I felt foggy and not normal. Not bad, just not normal. So I hopped in the … Continue reading
