The flight from New Zealand was pretty stellar aside from the stereotypical American in front of Margo that was way too big for his seat and in addition to putting his seat all the way back, his weight pushed it another few inches, leaving her crammed in her seat like Elaine in the Seinfeld episode where she is left in coach while Jerry enjoys first class.
Customs and security were surprisingly a breeze; we only took about 45 mins or so after getting off the plane before getting into a cab.
Margo's cousin's son Drake was at her Aunt Kay's house when we arrived and he is cute as can be. We went for a walk through the neighborhood and the weather felt a lot like South Africa - need a jacket but warm during the day.
We are staying at their friend's apartment on Nob Hill which has a view of the Golden Gate Bridge holler! We walked to a place called Sugar Bar and had a few drinks and wanted dessert but thanks to the bartender being lazy or hating how hot we were, we were denied a yummy fudge brownie sundae. Instead we bought cookies at a corner store and I am about 2000 calories over my daily limit even though I didn't have lunch.
I'm looking forward to attacking the hills of San Fran tomorrow and exploring the waterfront area.... Maybe get some shopping in?
I haven't planned for this part of the journey well. When asked by Margo's Aunt Kay what I wanted to see I shrugged and and said 'I dunno...walk around?' I'm a good tourist kind of. Tomorrow we will be meeting up with Margo's friend Derek and I'm really excited. I've heard so much about him and have been wanting to get some San Fran night life in so here we gooooo.
Ramble Mamble I have basically been up since 6:45am today but New Zealand time...and at this posting it is currently 4pm or something tomorrow. That is a long time.
Uninterrupted sleep here I come!
