Summer 2026 Trip to the 404 Atlanta and to the 305 Miami - Return 1: Miami to Atlanta

Hello folks, it is now the time for us to head back to Atlanta Georgia :united_states: for us to catch our flight back home to St. Louis :united_states: after a wonderful and awesome two-week vacation in Miami :palm_tree::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::united_states:.

So what we did during our two-week vacation in Miami was that on Sunday, me and my Uncle went MIA plane spotting. We spotted sixty planes from different spotting locations. On Monday, Me, Mom and Aunt went to Dolphin Mall :dolphin::shopping_bags: and drove around past the schools I went to when I was a kid and a teenager plus the colleges I went to after I graduated high school, the house in Coral Gables where my grandmother used to live that we visited and lived at, the house by SW 20th St & SW 30th Ave where my Mama lived at back in 2010 and finally Boys & Girls Club I went to during the summer and after school. Then on Tuesday, Me and my Aunties to AMC Tamiami 18 :popcorn::movie_camera: to watch a movie at 2:00 PM. After that, we went to the Brickell City Centre :shopping_bags: located by US 41 in the Brickell Area. On Wednesday, I went with my Mama on the Miami-Dade Transit Bus and Metromover to Ross by Biscayne Blvd and then to McDonalds :hamburger::french_fries: by the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus. On Thursday, we went with my Grandmother shopping at Walmart :shopping_cart:. On Friday me, my Mama and Aunt went to the Museum of Ice Cream :soft_ice_cream: and to Wynwood. On Saturday me, my Mama and Uncle went to the Frozen Yogurt :soft_ice_cream: place at North Miami Beach to try out some different flavors and it was delish. On Sunday was when me, my Aunties and my other Uncle went with my Grandmother out to eat at Olive Garden for our luncheon. Then we didn’t go anywhere on Monday because the weather was very bad. So on Tuesday, me, my Mama and my Aunties went to Zoo Miami :giraffe::elephant::zebra: to see a bunch of animals. On Wednesday, me, my Mama and my Aunt went to Aventura Mall :shopping_bags:. Then on Thursday my Mama and I went on the Miami-Dade Transit Bus and Metromover to the Philip & Patricia Frost Science Museum. After it closed at 6:00 PM, we took the Metromover over to Subway :sandwich: by the Adrienne Arscht Center for dinner before making our way home. And finally on Friday was Beach Day :desert_island:. So me, my Mama and my Aunts took an Uber to Miami Beach :desert_island: and had lots of fun before taking Uber back for us to start packing up for our flight back to Atlanta Saturday.

So on Saturday, we woke up at around 3:15 AM for us to be ready to head to the airport at 4:45 AM for our 7:00 AM flight back to the ATL. Right as we requested Uber, I discovered that our flight got cancelled. So unfortunately we didn’t make that flight. So we were initially rebooked for 6:00 AM Sunday morning where we were going to spend an extra day in Miami. But then later on in the afternoon, two Delta Flights opened up, the one in the afternoon and the one in the evening. So we took the one in the evening to give us time for us to eat lunch and to get ready for us to leave to the airport. So that one was scheduled for 6:03 PM and to arrive at 8:19 PM, which was a 2hr 16min flight time. So at around 2:45 PM, went and got ready for us to leave at 3:45 PM for the airport. We requested Uber and arrived at our house at 4:15 PM. So we left, said goodbye to Grandma and Uncle before getting inside the Uber to head to the airport. We arrived at MIA airport at around 4:30 PM where we said goodbye to my Mama before getting inside the airport. Getting inside the airport, we checked in, got our boarding passes before we made our way through security.

In this case, we flew aboard Delta Airlines Flight 1386 from Miami to Atlanta :united_states:. So I hope you guys enjoy our return journey back to the ATL. Here go the shots of this flight:

After going through security, we made our way to Gate H5 MIA airport where we discovered that our flight got delayed to 6:18 PM after it had arrived from Atlanta at 5:18 PM. But here goes our ride back to the ATL. So ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Delta Airlines Flight 1386 nonstop service to Atlanta. Let’s get this flight started


We pushed back from Gate H5 at 6:22 PM, started up our CFM56 engines, watched the Delta Airlines safety video and taxied to RWY 8R for takeoff out of MIA, taxiing past Concourse D on our right, where the majority of American Airlines flights arrive to and depart from


Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff as we lined up RWY 8R before our takeoff roll


And just like that, we have lifted off RWY 8R and off we go, on our way back to Atlanta :united_states:. Goodbye Miami :palm_tree::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::united_states:. We’ll c ya next time


Three minutes after takeoff, we banked to our left, flying over North Bay Village to fly north west en route to Atlanta :united_states:, flying along the view of North Beach and Surfside Beach :desert_island: on our right hand side. So beautiful isn’t it? Yep when we took off RWY 8R when we flew towards the beaches before banking left, flying northwest.


We cruised at FL360 over Doctors Lake, south of Jacksonville :tangerine::united_states: captured from Seat 17F :seat: where we were served Cheez-Its and a Granola Bar with Diet Dr. Pepper :cup_with_straw: that I chose. Oh and also I had Chin-Chin that I packed in my backpack that my Grandmother and Uncle made while we were at the beach on Friday


So we descended over McDonough Georgia :united_states: before we banked to our left, flying over right downwind for our approach to RWY 9R ATL airport for landing


Here we are on short final RWY 9R before we touched down back to the ATL


Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Int’l Airport as we have just landed at 7:55 PM. We taxied around RWY 9L, after vacating RWY 9R to Gate D34 for our arrival.


And we have arrived at Gate D34 ATL airport at 8:05 PM. So it was time for us to grab our belongings, exit the aircraft, hop on the ATL plane train :train: to Concourse T to head to baggage claim :baggage_claim: and exit the airport to catch the ATL Park-N-Ride shuttle to our car to head back on I-85 :motorway:, back to the house in Gwinnett County and go straight to bed :person_in_bed: and be ready for our flight back to St. Louis on Sunday

And that completes our journey back to the :united_states: 404 Atlanta from Miami. I hope that you have enjoyed it. Stay tune for our journey back home to the :united_states: 314 St. Louis. Without further ado, be safe and have a blessed day
