Parking Garages

 

Well, I'm back, after my brief adventure in Georgia. Actually, though, the fun began in the parking garage at the Norfolk International Airport (ORF) in Norfolk, Virginia. In recent trips, I've taken to photographing where I've parked my car because, anymore, as parking garages have gotten bigger and bigger, I've found it harder and harder to find my car upon my return. 

In this case, the matter was made more difficult by the fact that I'm not yet familiar with ORF, especially since it has expanded over recent years. In fact, as I discovered, it's still in the process of expanding. So I only realized upon my return that there is not just ONE parking garage. There are, in fact, multiple garages! What's more, ALL of them have at least five levels and, guess what, "D" aisles! I happened to have parked in Garage A, nearest the terminal where my plane was parked. But, of course, I went directly to Garage D, which happens to be the farthest from said terminal!

Anyway, my advice to anyone who happens to have accidentally stumbled upon this blog is--if you have a camera--ALWAYS take a picture, because that and other pictures you might take (I had more) may come in particularly handy later. :-)

Packing

 


Spent the better part of yesterday packing for a . . .


lightning-quick flight (Oops! Maybe an unlucky turn of phrase that.) to Georgia today . . .


to attend a coat-and-tie affair on Wednesday.


Always tricky, given that I never travel with anything more than a carryon and maybe, occasionally, a camera bag. Still haven't quite decided about the latter. Just one more complication as I pass through airport security. Still, I might give it a whirl.

Wandering

 


The trail system in Forest Park, well, let's just say that I've seen systems that were much less confusing. 


A paper map could have helped. Although, I suppose these days a lot of people prefer apps like AllTrails. Not being one of those, I spend a lot of time these days just wondering as I wander. :-)

Meaning?

 


A house along one of the trails in Forest Park. Interesting display of flags. Meaning?
