So, I havent really used my flight benefits like I should and now that its getting warmer me & Nina thought we should start going places.
Today the plan was CALIFORNIA!
Nina brought her daughter Cam along who is 4yrs old and VERY cute!
The 3 of us flew into OAK & out of SFO.
THE PLAN:
Visit fishermans wharf, check out Ghirardelli's,
go over to Chinatown & back home.
Thats what we WERE gonna do: lol
First, its was SNOWING this morning! (STOP already!) and our flight that was supposed to leave at 8:40 didnt leave till around 9:15ish
Then, when we got to Oakland, Nina thought it would be a good idea to check our return flight. Now, this flight had about 20 empty seats and we were like 3rd & 4th on the standby list...
Last Night.
Today however, we discovered that the flight was OVERSOLD by 3! So, Nina called work trying to find another flight that we WOULD be able to get on. There was one leaving at 3:30 that looked ok. By now its, oh, like, almost 11:00. Hhhmmm, we still need to get to the Frisco airport.
Ok troops, ixnay on the plansay!
We took the shuttle to the BART station & rode that to the San Francisco Airport
By this time (12:30) we are hungry, we needed to eat! Here's my thinking: the airport is like a jail... they know they have you, you are stuck, and so they charge
OUTGRAGEOUS amounts of money for EVERYTHING!
The only place to eat in this particular section where we were was a Bar & Grill. I had the chicken wing appetizer, Nina had a hamburger & Cam had a kids burger.
TOTAL: $38.00
I KNOW!
The funny thing was, they had these HUGE metal forks & cheap plastic knives, hahaha
Way to stay strong on that security guys!
Anywho, we got on and got home! Even though we didnt get to do anything we planned, we did
have alot of fun! (And it was free)!
By the way, we DID get our Ghirardelli chocolate!
(From the airport gift shop) lol

LOL we did have fun. And all Cam could talk about what her new friend Stephanie =)
Even though it didn't go as planned, how would it be to go somewhere like California for free. Sounds great!
I liked that Cam wanter Stephanie to put her to bed when they got home. Im sorry that Stephanie didn't get to see the ocean, that was her real desire.
Hey at least you got out of this heck hole! I am glad you finally took advantage of your benefits, you need to do that more often! We still need to plan on a trip to Paula Deen's one weekend!
Oh my gosh, I am so proud of you for venturing out of state. Hey, you did the BART in San Fran. Mark that off your list! Now you know, when taking off for your next adventure!I think you should do this once a week and make it your blog.Sepholo's Travels.
Love you!
LOVE IT!
Flying standby is always an adventure!! And if you ever need to get rid of your buddy passes feel free to holler :) I will gladly take them off your hands.
Well, I like the free thing. I need some free haha Sounds like fun, getting out of the state is always fun and an adventure :)
