Part I: PHF-ATL

Transportation

So I left my dorm at around 6:30 am, had a quick breakfast at one of the dining halls, and began my long, but cheap, journey to Patrick Henry Field (Newport News/Williamsburg Int'l). Being situated in Williamsburg, PHF is the closest commercial airport and I have devised several cheaper ways to get there than by cab. Today's method was to take the local bus from the train station to Newport News (free) and the Hampton Roads Transit bus to a stop just about a third of a mile from the airport ($1.50), and walk the remainder of the way.


My Dorm, Barrett Hall, constructed in 1926.

This was a typical short RJ hop to ATL and nothing of note happened. I ate my banana I didn't eat at breakfast, drank some water and passed out till final approach.
