Atlanta airport – Dave and Kay's Travel Adventures

Saturday, March 29th, 2025

Very early this morning we checked out of our hotel in Chester. Our hotel was the Mill Hotel & Spa which was once the Griffiths Corn Mill from 1830. It was located on the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal.

We said goodbye to Chester, England and our adventures were coming to an end.

We were headed to the Manchester Airport for the first of our two flights home. The airport was much bigger than we anticipated.

Our flight from Manchester, England would take us to Atlanta, Georgia. Our plane took off without a hitch.

The layover in Atlanta was long, even with going through Customs! Unfortunately we had a late flight into Columbus. Our luggage went on an earlier flight that we were hoping to get on but no such luck. When we arrived it was around midnight but we didn’t have to wait for our bags. They were sitting there waiting for us and we were thankful to get home!

Our trip was full of new experiences and some that were repeats. We enjoyed them all!

Our next adventure will take us to Portugal, a country we haven’t explored. Stay tuned….

Saturday, November 3rd and Sunday, November 4th

We are packed and ready for our ride to the airport!

We departed Columbus for our flight to Atlanta with a close to an on time departure. Our beloved Buckeyes were playing Nebraska at home. We watched a lot of the game sitting in the airport. As we took off, “The Shoe” was in the distance. Go Buckeyes!

We were sitting at our gate in Atlanta bound for Rome by 4:25 PM.

Lk63H8a5 — Just taking off for Rome and we are excited!

We are scheduled to depart Atlanta at 5:58 PM for our overnight flight and landing in Rome Sunday morning close to 9:00 AM their time.

We got our luggage and met Romina, our tour guide for our trip! We boarded our bus with Caesar as our driver and arrived at our hotel around 2:45 PM. We checked into our hotel, the Hotel Michelangelo, in Sorrento, Italy.

The hotel was located on the main street of Sorrento which was convenient for exploring the city.

Our room had a balcony which we enjoyed!

We met Giovanni, the hotel’s bartender, in the hotel bar and had a local white wine. Of course there were quite a few of us there!

Before dinner the 29 of us traveling with the Hilliard Chamber met in the hotel’s meeting room with Romina to go over some housekeeping details and introduce ourselves!
