[NAGDU] indoor relief areas

[Julie Johnson]

No, our time in Atlanta is just an hour.  Both flights plus layover is 
about 6 hours.  So if he doesn't get to go in Atlanta, he's going to 
have to hold it for 6 hours, at least.  Plus add in the time to get in 
and out of the airports, luggage and all those details, it could be 
closer to 7 hours.

He can certainly go that long, but I really think the old boy would be 
way more comfortable with a chance to go in Atlanta.
