Sunshine in the Bay. Nice to wake up to sunshine beams and dryer
sidewalks around the
hotel. Helpful
since breakfast was from a nearby deli shop was a couple of Vietnamese
sub
sandwiches – heavy on the
spice side to kick start heart palpitations.
After a
quick repacking of a very limited space 30L
Deuter
backpack, it was BART return to
SFO airport.
All went smooth with TSA pre-check line available; however, a little
surprised
since it was
an international departure. Guessing on the return to the States,
it will
be more
intense.
After
arriving a couple hours early with an easy
pace
through the airport ending at the airline
club, it
was time to finish up
remaining departure tasks via phone and web – including
purchase
of travel
interruption insurance (CSA Insurance Co).
Just think if free Orlando Lions
Soccer
Club tickets come available, may
need to change our tickets for an emergency
return
flight.
One more
pineapple juice drink and headed to the
gate. Not the usual quiet and smooth
Lufthansa type
boarding – a rather noisy and delayed prone United flight 869.
Delays
included waiting for late
passengers,
warm air conditioning, and lavatories under repair.
Another
hour and a half delay, we taxied out
and it take off time finally. UA 747
equipment
was a little
dated without the new standard issued on demand video – all
were required to
watch
main
overhead screens that included Frozen, Iron Man 3,
and Captain Phillips movies.
(Thankfully, Maria Carrey didn’t make a Glitter II
movie)
