Arrive at the ATL airport super early because the kiosk either will not read my passport, or I have been flagged as a naughty and dangerous super spy.  Probably both; I\u2019m a bad man.  Stand in line with a bunch of equally grumpy travelers, and all that before we get violated by the security lines.<\/p>\n<p>Traveling on a plane, outside of business \/ first class is really awful; and I think the airlines do their level best to make it as uninviting and intimidating as possible.  The seats suck, are uncomfortable, and you just know luck always dictates getting a fat or smelly person (sometimes both) that wants to invade your personal space.  I\u2019m sorry, but if you cannot fit within your own seat, you should be required to purchase two tickets.  Not to mention that the seats are too damn small in the first place, but I digress.  If you stink, security should kick you out before you are allowed in the terminal.  Just saying.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if you cannot tell, I\u2019m really not looking forward to this trip to (not so lovely) Nottingham; probably 18 hours from the time I leave my house to the hotel.  For my troubles, hopefully I\u2019ll get to partake in at least one drink at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As they say in the Old Country, I shall not be posting for a few days, hopefully lifting up a few pints of new previously undiscovered deliciousness during my travels.
