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.
Wren Building, the oldest, operating academic building in America (W&M is the second oldest college in America, est. 1693)
Breakfast
Williamsburg Area Transportation Authority (WATA) bus to Newport News
Hampton Roads Transit bus to Jefferson Commons (across from PHF)
Flight
ExpressJet dba Delta Connection Flight 5499
Newport News/Williamsburg, VA (PHF) to Atlanta, GA (ATL)

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.

Nice report. Your pictures bring back memories. I graduated from WM '01 and at that time Barrett Hall was a female dorm. I also worked at PHF during high school.
