Working out of town, we try to get home every 6 weeks or so,
and are accumulating some sky miles.
We always allow lots of time when we go to the airport, you
never know what might delay you - traffic, rental car return, long lines at
security, gate changes.
On Sunday July 5th our flight back to OKC was scheduled at
3:58. We left home a little after 11 a.m. The traffic was light, we didn't stop
for lunch, and rental car return was quick. But the security lines were long, the
usual Z-line overflowed and extended back through the atrium. We had heard on
the news about the terror threat being high this holiday weekend. There was a
TSA dog sniffing bags as we passed by him.
Once we got up to the security check point, it was actually
very light - keep your shoes on, don't take anything out of your bags, keep
moving. So we ended up with quite a lot of time to spare, a good thing.
We texted Carrie for the location of the Varsity, and
proceeded there (on Concourse C) for lunch. Then headed to our gate on
Concourse B.
Travel between the different concourses is all underground.
There is the option of riding the subway/plane train, or riding the moving
sidewalk, or just walking. We decided to forego the train and walk, and this is
where we discovered the exhibit "A Walk Through Atlanta History."
Exhibits from the native Americans through the Civil War, and to modern day Atlanta lined both sides
of the wide underground walkway, very well done.
So if you find yourself at the Atlanta Airport
