The new International Terminal was so very modern and pretty. Going through customs didn't take long at all, maybe 10 minuted to get through all of it in Atlanta. This was probably due to the fact that I was a bit early for my flight (4 hours early haha!)

The New International Terminal had a bunch of different expensive shops and a few restaurants, since it was the first day it was opened, the selection of food was not very broad, but it wasn't bad. One of their new restaurants happen to be one of my Dad's favorites!! THE VARSITY!! haha, this is only ironic because my dad hates flying! There was only one thing out of the ordinary that happened to me while I was waiting to board my plane. CT started talking to this lady, and she told us she had taught Biology for 30 years... a few times, well she probably told us closer to ten times, but it was funnier each time! Before we got on the plane CT and I decided that we had to make sure we could say we had a beer at the International Terminal the first day it opened!

Boarding the plane was easy, once I found my seat I realized what little leg room I had and then remembered I had to sleep like that!! I just laughed to myself, and thought "Welp, this will be a fun trip, I might actually talk to people! :D haha!!"
NOTE: If anyone is travelling internationally and you think you may have a hard time getting comfortable at night, I suggest you make sure you spend a little extra money and book a flight in the Business class or First Class if you're feeling really rich. haha!!
I definitely slept some, but only when I was in the fetal position wrapped up in the blanket they gave me with my ear plugs in and my jacket and pillow under my head. Before I went to sleep though, I got a yummy dinner that definitely helped me go to sleep. After I woke up for the last time on that trip I was surprised by the delicious "Brekkie" and a hot cup of coffee! They would give you any drink you asked for, but I was trying to stay hydrated, so water was mainly my choice (besides the coffee in the morning). Getting off the plane was fairly wuick as well, the plane landed and arrived at the terminal at 10:25am (London time), with getting off the plane and going through customs, we were on our way to get our checked bags by 10:55am!!! (London time also!) I just looked down at my Passport and thought to myself, YES!!! My first stamp in my passport!!
NOTE: Be sure to go to the bathroom before they put the seat-belt light on (20-30 min before landing) so that you can make a quick dash out of the plane and into the line for customs. The line gets long fast, so be sure to bee-line it there!
