Georgia on my mind
This feels strange. I'm flying down to Atlanta to see a Red Sox game. How PsychoFan is that?
But my parents invited me down -- my mom wants to see me, so they invited me to a Braves game, and the Sox are going there this year, so I figured if I'm going to go to a Braves game it might as well be when a team I care about is there.
Feels so weird, though. Following a team ... weekend-tripping ... flying to a city I don't otherwise care about ... not really me, usually.
Anyway: the 'rents are staying with friends in Alpharetta. They have a smallish apartment, and I think my mom should have some "alone time" with them so that they don't feel like we're just using their place as a crash pad, so I'm planning to stay in a hotel.
Anybody out there stayed in Atlanta recently? I prefer the Marriott brands for the airline miles, I'd like something near MARTA since we're planning to take transit to the game, I want internet access, and I'm kinda cheap but I don't want to stay in a dump. Anyone have any recommendations (pro or con)?
