Sweet Non-Rev Dreams

We'd planned to go to Manhattan this weekend, however New York has a late spring break and flight loads were awful, so we ended up going to Atlanta instead. Our friends Ben and Melissa, also non-revers, joined us. Things went seamlessly. We got 1st class on our flight from Daytona Beach (DAB) to ATL, which was my first time flying 1st class. I must say, it will spoil you. The leg room is incredible, the service impeccable, and you get as many snacks as you want! Once we landed, we got our rental car, which I'd booked the night before. The rate was $25.00, and with tax, it was supposed to be $38.00. Not so! We were taxed 34% (???) and with the mandatory insurance and refueling charge, it came to $110!! Next time, we'll take a shuttle or something! We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, and then spent the day at Six Flags, where I proceeded to burst a blood vessel in my left eye on the Batman ride, while experiencing the positive g's. SWEET!
I remind you of what happened the last time I burst a blood vessel in my eye in 2005:

I'm looking forward to scaring small children for the next month or so.

Here are some "plane pics" of Daytona Beach, Stone Mountain, Georgia, and Atlanta.
We ended the day with dinner at Panera Bread in the Atlanta airport. We got 1st class on the ride home on the 1st flight we listed for. Finally, a little non-rev luck for me!
