awhyzipHI! I am in San Francisco!
My airplane took an unscheduled stop in Honolulu because someone in Business Class was having heart-attack-type trouble. Too bad they didn't let us off the plane. I hope the guy's OK.
I'm pretty happy about this actually, not just because it continues the streak that all Ariela's trips to Australia must include Hawaii (giving me hope for next time :-) mm, Hawaii...). Pretty much everyone on the plane, and it was huge plane, missed their connecting flights. So United had to rebook us all, and since they were talking hotel-vouchers, I asked for an overnight stay. I got a simple-yet-charming free room at a Quality Inn, and have a nice noon-time departure tomorrow.
FREE NIGHT IN SAN FRAN. COOL!
Plus a lunch-voucher for the airport food court, and complimentary breakfast at the hotel. With voucher (max value $8) I obtained maxi-premium lunch: Veggie-Patty footlong @ Subway ;-). Actually, this cost $8.66 --- well-priced, O airline.
There was plenty of time left in the day, and I am not feeling jet-lag tired at all (I chalk that up to my super-sleep powerz), so after settling in to room, I've walked up to town. I'm at the public library now, on Grand St. The hotel staff, who directed me here, were very informative. (There are two Quality Inns; I am in the one on South Airport Bld, South San Francisco.)
I don't have to be back at work until Monday.
I'm feeling pretty happy about all this!
