hermionesviolinMy computer is still on Boston time so yeah, I'm hungry -- having had a bowl of cereal at like 8:30am and then an egg and cheese sandwich at the airport at 10:45am and nothing since then.
But clearly, I am an internet addict, so I am informing facebook and LJ that I arrived safely and skimming my email and flist in case there is anything important. (Ari, I love you and Rev.S. and will email you later :) )
I didn't get to use the airport wireless 'cause I ended up not leaving my house until about 9:15 'cause I was emailing with Laurel (who was STILL UP -- despite being in L.A.). But I did use the laptop on the plane (and am getting used to the laptop keyboard interface) and successfully obtained wireless in my hotel room.
The flight was fine. I sat next to Valerie from Halifax, Nova Scotia, recently retired and on her way to two weeks in Hawaii with some friends (from Vancouver and New Jersey, so they were meeting her there). Sometime this weekend I will save lots of Yuletide stories to the desktop for the return flight because I can only read Sophie's Choice for so long.
Just walking through SFO after debarking, I was like, "Queer hipster looking people, yay!" And I got out of Powell BART Station and there were Anonymous and I thought of you, Allie.
Okay, I should really get my stuff together and find some dinner. Dunno how much wandering I'll do, as the sun is setting :(

Yay! :)
ETA: Duh, yeah. I meant to say that I feel this way arriving in SF (and Boston, to some extent):
"Queer hipster looking people, yay!"

When I did my online check-in, the computer was like, "Your flight may be delayed due to weather; do you want to see about changing to a different flight?" and I was like, "Uh, no ... I do not believe that there are any seats left on any nonstop flights to SFO today," and after I went through the process of continuing my check-in it told me that my flight was On Time and I was like, "Uh, okay, thanks for making me concerned earlier then" (though I knew I could be delayed a fair amount and still get in to SF at an okay time). We were on the runway ready to leave when the captain said that there had been some backups at SFO so we would be a little delayed in leaving. We got in only about 20 minutes later than the originaly scheduled arrival time -- though it is a six and a half hour flight to begin with; I'm glad the return flight is shorter.
