Clearly the worst part of travelling is getting to the destination. No matter how experienced and prepared we are, there are just too many variables. Travelling is months of planning combined with last minute packing hoping we didn't forget anything in the rush. This time I left with no belt. We also learn this morning that our flight to San Francisco is delayed two hours due to fog. No surprise, this happens half the mornings on this route. And then somehow my boarding pass came with Aimee's middle name voiding my TSA Pre-check. Arrrgh!
Our flight path passes Phoenix, Hoover Dam, Las Vegas and the eastern slope of the still snowy Sierra Nevadas. We turn left at Yosemite and fly over San Francisco Bay. I am shocked to see ponds of vivid red water. This is caused by halobacteria that thrive in the still operating salt evaporation ponds of the estuary.
We arrive in San Francisco to find our hotel shuttle doesn’t operate in the afternoon. After running down the list of options in tax-heavy California, we punt and cancel our plans to explore downtown San Francisco. Instead we find a food court that serves wine with our burger.
