You Are Here


Another parking garage or, as the British call it, another "car park." Fortunately, the hotel where I stayed provided this convenient little sign next to the elevator.

Autowalks


When I read yesterday about the Trump administration's desire to redevelop Dulles International Airport and to possibly do away with the so-called "mobile lounges," I had to chuckle a little bit, especially as I thought about the autowalks at the Atlanta airport. Not sure I which I prefer. 

I didn't mind the walking. In fact, I actually preferred to walk rather than to take the airport's trains. But I'm not sure I would consider those advancements over Dulles' shuttles.

Relativity


No, not one, but multiple escalators! I'm sure that over time I would begin to make sense of all these, but to someone who hasn't been to Atlanta's airport in years, they were somewhat bewildering. Like, am I any nearer to my destination than when I started? Or am I trapped inside one of M. C. Escher's woodcuts? :-)

Escalators

 

There sure were a lot of these at Atlanta International Airport.
