TRIP - Atlanta

Since TD Aeroplan Infinite came with a 2-for-1 short-haul voucher, I decided to use it on Toronto - Atlanta trip despite the fuel surcharges. Total for 3 of us (plus an infant) is 30,000 Aeroplan miles + ~$600 CAD over the Canada Day long weekend

Its attractions are okay and it does have many food choices
