Departure Day!

Finally. We’ve been counting down the months, the weeks, then the days. We are finally counting down the minutes! 

We stayed the night at a little Holiday Inn Express a few blocks from SFO airport. Comfy bed, quiet enough room, decent night’s sleep. We did Park and Fly so my car will vacation at the Holiday Inn parking lot until we get back.

We flew through security and are hanging out in the United Lounge (thanks united miles upgrade!) enjoying coffee and a simple continental breakfast.

The Flight Aware app says we should expect our flight to be around 10 hours and 40 minutes. No jet stream today. 😦

Here’s our plane! 787-900. We’re in seat 2a and 2b (or not to be. Mike is in for a long flight with these jokes.)

This cabin is beautiful! The windows are bigger than most planes and have a dimmer instead of the pull down shade.

Preflight chocolate? Yes, please!
