Hi all - Claire and I started our journey to San Fransisco with a drive to L.A to return the rental car...no dramas there. We allowed ourselves about an hour and a half to get through air port screening, and nearly missed our flight! people were lined up out side the terminal waiting to get through the check points. we would have missed our flight but a guy cam out side and was asking everyone their departure times. He fast tracked us to a security check point and we made it. Once on the plane it waited an hour on the run way for clearance from San Fran airport. With an hour flight it was not to bad ... we were almost to the airport when the pilot informed us that air traffic control had put him in a holding pattern (doing big doughnuts) and we stayed there
for two and a half hours. We eventually landed and are have had a really good time here. San Fransisco is awesome! We rode across the Golden Gate bridge today which was a good way to see it - I am however a little 'saddle sore'.
