We are starting out the trip on the wrong foot. Originally, we had an early morning flight out of SFO on Friday. As a result, we decided to go down and stay Thursday night. Additionally, Sharon has been very unhappy with the drivers of the shuttles that we have used. We decided we would drive down and park the car in the SFO Long Term Parking.
At some point, Viking Air switched the flights around. Instead of flying from San Francisco to London and then from London to Prague, we are now leaving Friday afternoon for Dallas. We fly from Dallas to Madrid and then Madrid to Prague. We started a lot of hand wringing about whether or not we should have just driven down on Friday. Unfortunately, we thought that we had prepaid for the hotel room on Thursday night.
Leaving Carmichael at 1 pm with Sharon driving, I checked our hotel reservation. We didn't have a reservation. This created more running amok about what we should do. After some discussion, I made a hotel reservation in the Marriott app and we conintued towards SFO.
We rolled up to the San Francisco Airport Marriott just before 4 pm. We checked in and got our luggage into the room.
I took the car and parked it at the SFO Long Term Parking. It was a zoo. People were parked everywhere. Circling the lot, I finally decided to park at the end of a row at far reaches of the lot.
From there, I took the Air Train to the Grand Hyatt. I caught an Uber back to the Marriott.
Sharon and I took an Uber to downtown Burlingame to meet Jack for dinner at MyKonos. We ate there before after the Global Entry interviews in 2024.
The three of us split an octopus appetizer. For entrees, I had lamb chops, Jack had lamb shank and Sharon had sea bass.
After dinner, we put Jack on the train back to downtown San Francisco. Sharon and I wandered the area. We stopped and had a glass of wine at the Velvet 48 Wine Bar. Sharon had a glass of wine from Hungary!
Catching an Uber back to the hotel, we crashed early. Friday and Saturday are going to be long days!
