Our California Shutttle van picked us up in front of Darrell's house at 8:30 am and drove us to San Francisco International airport. We had to take surface streets to avoid some bad traffic on I-5 and Hwy 99, but once we hit I-80 it was a smooth ride. We got to SFO at 10:45 am and checked in at the United counter for our 10 hour flight to London. After clearing security, we stopped in at Andale Reataurant & Bar for some preflight margartia's, guacmole, chips, quesadillas, and carnitas. Lufthansa or United switched our seats without notifying us sometime before our 24 hour countdown to boarding. We were very lucky to get an economy plus upgrade at the gate. The weather was mostly sunny on takeoff and the views of the San Francisco bay area were great. Next stop London...
