Jacksonville on 9/6

Wednesday 9/6:

8:45 am – Ronda dropped me off at the airport.

9:00 am – Made it through the security gates.  They caught that I had 4 oz. of saline solution for my contacts, but it was within their rules.  The lady at security was kind enough to take a look and let me through.

11:55 am  to 12:05 pm – Arrived in Atlanta after flying around Atlanta more time than it took to fly from Knoxville to Atlanta.  Running through the Atlanta Airport to get my connecting flight to Jacksonville.  I arrived at the gate for my 12 noon flight at 12:04.  Was rebooked to fly out at 1:30 pm and arrive at 2:40 pm.

2:40 pm – Arrived and got my car.

2:50 pm – Checked in at the hotel.  The Jax-INN has the necessities, bed, door with lock,  and an alarm clock.

3:15 pm – Got some lunch at Ruby Tuesday’s.

4:15 pm – Arrived at Panera Bread to grab a hot chocolate and some internet.
