I know I said adios yesterday, but there were a couple of things we wanted to add to the blog about today.
We took our first cab ride together. We no longer think the bus drivers are the craziest drivers around. LOL
We then boarded the BART train that would take us to SFO. We were there plenty early as going through check in was a breeze - except for re-arranging packed items so no bag was over 50 pounds.
At our gate Matt found a restuarant that we just had to try. It was called Cat Cora's - (she is the one woman on Iron Chef). The food was delish - Matt had the slider trio (1 spiced pork, 1 wagyu beef and 1 lamb). I ordered the lobster mac n cheese. Wow. Cat Cora was not there - but the food was awesome anyway.
Back to wait at the gate for the plane that became very late! We departed 1 1/2 hours behind schedule so we knew the connection in DFW would be tight if not impossible. My seat mate was a Dad and his little girl who was so sweet - she insisted that she share a cookie with me. Turns out he bought those almond cookies at the same place in Chinatown that matt bought the flat fortune cookies. And - although I have never personally traveled first class, my carry-on bag now has. We were in the first row behind first class and that's where an open overhead bin was. :-)
We did arrive at DFW and proceeded to run/walk as fast as possible to make it to the gate. (thank goodness for the Skytrain). We got to the gate assuming it is gone as we are very late. Nope - the plane had difficulties and first it was delayed and then they put us on another plane all together.
But now we are safely back home (about 11 PM - over 12 hours since we started our travels back home) and we have to play and sing in church tomorrow. They sent us the hymn numbers while we were in San Fran. We'll run through them in the morning before heading to church. Morning will feel very early! Thanks for reading folks. This time I really do me adios until the next trip.
