Japanese Vacation, A night in the airport

Dec 7th, 2005

I was all packed and ready to fly by 9:30am and on the computer re-checking flights. If there's one thing I know, it's how to Travel Cheap , and this particular flight was going to be on buddy pass. The downside to Buddy passes, is you need to watch the seats and make sure there's room on the flights you want! At 11:45pm I was on the flight to Atlanta, and there ran into the first major hump in my journey.

I needed to stay the night in Atlanta so that I could fly out in the wee hours of morning for the twelve hour flight from Atlanta to Japan. Rather than dealing with the hassle of finding a taxi out to a hotel only for a brief two or three hour nap, I decided just to find a quiet corner of the airport and sleep on my coat. You'd be suprised by how many other passengers were doing the same thing!!

Despite the painful protests of my back and neck, I managed to catch a few minutes of sleep before I needed to check in at the terminal.
