Starting out the week I was on a business trip to MSP. MARTA from the Buckhead station down to ATL was easy and almost relaxing. Once I was in Minneapolis the company I work for arranged a car for me to use while I was there.
On the return trip I did have some problems including an unexpected overnight visit to Philly. While Philadelphia is a really nice city to visit, this wasn't the time for it. I got a taxi from the airport around 1am and back to the airport at 2pm to try for another flight nearly 24hours late. I'm sick of commercial airlines and air traffic control delays!
Back in Atlanta for the weekend I've been getting more exercise in now that I've parked my car! On Friday night I needed to run a few errands and get dinner. Normally for a 3 location errand run (about 3 miles of walking...) I'd pull my car out of the parking deck here in my condo where I keep it, but this time I walked it. Not a bad hike, but it's a lot different than getting time in on a cardio machine in the gym. The next morning my feet wanted to kill me for abusing them... Time for me to go across the street and shop for some new walking shoes.
I did get some carpooling time in over the weekend. My brother needed me to help him with some weekend projects so we carpooled up to Kennesaw to get the final preperations ready for his wedding on the 2nd! Everything worked out well and all the project are done.
Speaking of the upcoming wedding, this week is going to be a bit strange for my schedule since a lot of relatives are coming into town. Wednesday and Friday I'm going to be host and chaeufeur to various aunts and uncles so I am sure that I'm going to be making use of the ZipCars.
And, I actually just booked a reservation for today to run up to the Kennesaw airport to get some ground school taken care of. I am just finishing my FAA Private Pilot certification and I need to get some more review in before I take my practical exam. Unfortunately, the instructor is located way outside of the places MARTA might be able to get me so it's time to turn to ZipCar to get me where I'm going!
