March 21, 2009 San Francisco & Assorted Photos

We went under the Golden Gate Bridge around 4 am this morning – we slept right through it. We had our last breakfast with friends and then had to go to the Spectacular Lounge and wait about 45 minutes for the ship to be cleared and the buses to arrive. We can’t believe 50 days have come and gone! It was a fabulous trip!

We didn’t find out what airline we were flying home until a week or so before the cruise was over. We were THRILLED when they told us South West because we were each allowed to 50 lb suitcases and a carry on. Lots of our friends had to pay for their luggage. I was prepared either way – I brought two good suitcases and two disposable ones and I told Bobby most of his clothes might be disposable too (was going to give them to someone working on the ship). He was very happy we didn’t have to do that!

By the time our bus left the ship terminal we had our doubts about making our noon flight out of San Jose! When we arrived at the airport, there was a very long line to check in but a kind lady at the front of the line let us in front of her (there are so many good people in this world!!!). After we checked in and were ready to RUN for the plane, he said, “Oh, your plane is running 20 minutes late!” Thank Goodness!!!

It was a beautiful flight over the mountains to Las Vegas where we had to change planes. I was lucky enough to get a window seat – we flew over the Grand Canyon and the Hover Dam; you just can’t believe how incredibly beautiful it was. I was so upset I didn’t have my camera!
