Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this Atlanta Boston thing. I hear folks talkin’ ’bout it all the time. Sounds like a whole heap of trouble if you ask me, with all that flyin’ and whatnot.
So, this Atlanta place, they say it’s a big deal. Got this big ol’ airport, Hartsfield-Jackson or somethin’ like that. Biggest in the world, they say! Imagine that. Full of planes comin’ and goin’, like a swarm of bees. I hear that Delta, that’s the plane company, they fly outta there all the time. They got that place wrapped around their finger, I reckon.
They say if you’re flyin’ from some other country and you land in Atlanta, you gotta do a whole bunch of things. Somethin’ called customs. You gotta get your bags, even if you ain’t stayin’ in Atlanta, just passin’ through. Gotta grab ’em, show ’em to some folks, then put ’em back on another belt. Sounds like a pain, seems to me that customs is not an easy thing. Then you gotta go through security again. Goodness gracious.
- Arrive Early, they told me!
- Two or three hours before my flight, i heard this many times.
- Especially during holidays, they said.
Now, Boston, that’s another place. Lots of folks go there, especially in the summer, I hear. They say you gotta plan ahead if you’re goin’ to Boston. Hotels and all that, gotta book ’em early, otherwise you’ll be sleepin’ on a park bench! And the prices, they go up and down like a yo-yo, dependin’ on the time of year.
This Delta thing, it’s all tied up with Atlanta, they say. But they fly outta other places too, like New York. That JFK place. Sounds fancy. I hear they are important at that airport, too. They got places all over, like a spider’s web.
If you go to Atlanta, you want to see some fancy hotels? They got ’em. Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Four Seasons. Names I can barely say. They also got hotels for regular folks, families and such. But the fancy ones, oh boy, they cost a pretty penny. If you want to visit Atlanta, March to May is a good time. Weather is good, not too hot.
And these days, everyone’s got those little phones. They say you can get your boardin’ pass on ’em. And somethin’ called vacation details. And they tell you if your plane’s gonna be late. Back in my day, we just showed up and hoped for the best!
Some folks, they get all nervous about this customs and immigration stuff. Says it’s intimidatin’. I reckon it can be, if you ain’t used to it. Just gotta follow the rules, I suppose, and hope you don’t get any trouble. If you go to Boston, you also need to plan ahead. No matter how often you travel, they said, just plan ahead.
Atlanta and Boston. Two big cities, full of hustle and bustle. Lots of folks goin’ there, for all sorts of reasons. But for me, it all sounds like a bit much. I’m happy right here, I don’t need all that travelin’. If you are lookin’ for a hotel in Atlanta or Boston, remember the prices will change by different reasons. So you need to pay attention on that.
When you are connecting in USA, they said, no matter what airline you are using, if you have a connecting flight, you need to do the same thing. Pick up your bags and recheck them.
I hear they have all kind of hotels in these cities, Atlanta and Boston. Fancy ones, regular ones, somethin’ for everyone, I guess. It is a good thing for the travelers. But I can’t imagine stayin’ in one of those fancy places. Probably wouldn’t know what to do with myself! Too much for this old gal.
They say if you plan to fly to those places, Atlanta or Boston, be sure you arrive early at the airport. Two, three hours! Imagine that. They also told me that ATL is large, so you need to be there early. I suppose the lines are long and they gotta check everyone’s bags and make sure nobody’s up to no good. It will take a lot of time. Gotta keep everyone safe, I reckon. It’s a different world these days.
