St. Louis, MO (USA)
Had sim period (with Jim K.) early. Checked out of Residence Inn Galleria by 1000, got gas at a Shell Station on Old Saint Charles [Street] (1450) and returned my rental car to the Dollar desk at the airport (1500). Had planned on getting out of St. Louis before 1400. Instead, Jim K and I got stuck (in our aircraft) on the ramp at Lambert, waiting for a thunderstorm in Atlanta to clear. It took almost two hours before we actually took off (1635L). Even though we arrived in Atlanta by 1915, we then had some delays (parking, deplaning, baggage) at Hartsfield. As a result, I didn't retrieve my car from the long term parking lot until 2145. With the drive to reach home, I wasn't actually in Douglasville until around 2200. Still, it was a good good trip, overall!
