Time for a relaxing vacation (part 1)
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 4:13 pmIt was a long flight in, stuck inside a cramped, crowded, and noisy jet for 9 hours, and it feels a relief to finally be able to get up and stretch my legs... well, to the door at least.
A pleasant smell was the first thing to greet me as my bus inside pulled up, one of seawater and jet-A fuel. Nothing truly beats the smell of kelp and smokey oil on a stifling summsers day now, let me tell you.
Upon arriving at the terminal, grabbing my luggage, and a quick snack, it was off to pick up the rental car. Out in the parking lot I was told to go, the catering trucks were arriving at the plane I took.
I think I may have lucked out on this one here, they gave me a pretty nice car to boot, and I would never forget to get a shot of the iconic old terminal now, would I?
(Hey, you, what are you doing in my car? Beat it!)
And now off to the hotel, first to get my luggage dropped off, and second so I can rest. I'm sure you all know how tiring it can be sitting down all day.
But of course, there were a couple of shots one would simply be a fool to miss, at least on their very first day for a plane enthusiast like myself. For one...
After a rather short drive, I arrive at my hotel...
Now, in the meantime, it getting rather close to 5:00, you know what that means.
Stay tuned for more... updates should occur daily, as my schedule permits.
