Rush Hour Challenge

Here is the scenario: You have to make an 8:00 flight, drop off the dog at daycare on the way down, and get something to eat before the 5 hour flight. Sounds reasonable if you leave a little before 5:00 pm right? If you add the challenge of GA-400 traffic on a Thursday and then getting rear ended, you end up basically throwing the dog in the direction of the daycare. Because the doggy daycare is in the center of the ATL, we got to really test the GPS's ability to get us to the airport in 40 minutes (the trip normally takes at least an hour). We made it in one piece with about 2 minutes to spare. We did not get dinner on the 5 hour flight but Delta did provide us with a can of coke and a cookie. In other words, we are here, tired, and thankful our luggage made it.
