[NAGDU] indoor relief areas

[Cindy Ray]

Oh, duh! I'm a little dense. Where is your first layover? I would give the
inside one a try. If he has to go badly enough, I'm thinking he would. Of
course Spencer didn't on the cruise ship. I hope it works OK. I don't know
what their indoor ones are like.

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.
