Sept 14 San Fran 9pm (local time)
There are a few constants in life that never change: little Asian tourist shops all look the same, sleep and travel for me are two completely unrelated things, and if something could go wrong it most certainly will.
The first leg of the trip started today. I had been sleeping well for the last couple weeks, but last night I might have gotten an hour or two. This of course happens every time I travel so I gotten used to running on sever sleep deprivation. I don't even understand why I bother trying to sleep on the plane. But as I said, I have experience traveling like this, Sleep? I don't need no stinking sleep.
The layover (on the way out and back) is the buetiful and hilly city of San Franisco. And when I say hilly I mean HILLY!!!! I may need to redefine my standard of the term 'hilly' to be synonymous with SanFran. I have never seen a city built on such a steep gradients. I understand why they are afraid the sity would slide into the ocean if there is a major earthquake. I can't see why it doesn't do it on its own on a nice sunny day. You can't drive here. It makes DC look logicly organized, and then the previously mentioned hills. The mass transit is surprisingly well designed to ensure people get to see their great city on foot. SanFran is a city to walk through.
The weather was great, and I got a couple good pics of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. We walked over most of the down town area. And as far as heart of the city goes it is one of the nicest major cities I have been in. Hell even the Hobos are well maintained and have different little gimmicks and shows to actually earn your money. I am glad AJ talked me into this eleven hour layover. I would love to fly out here again as a starting point for a west coast road trip. ^_^
So far only one major snafu. My VISA for Austrilia for some reason did not get linked to my passport. Thankfully the international terminal here in SanFran was not that busy so they issued me a new VISA (for an extra fee) at the desk. At this point I couldn't care less as long as I don't get kicked out of the country once i get there.
On a side note, In the international terminal here they have a shower shop. After flying on a plane all morning and then walking around SnaFran all afternoon. that was the best eleven bucks I have ever spent at an airport!!!!
over and out
