San Fran!

Yesterday (Thursday December 12th), I headed to Newark airport for the fourth time in one year! This time it was with just Elizabeth. We had a 5:30 flight to san Fran to meet our 10:35 plane to Sydney.  Our flight to San Fran was delayed about an hour and 15 minutes leaving us 20 minutes to get to our flight to Sydney. 

 Both my sister and I were prepared to run upon getting off the plane. However United was NOT operating in our favor and we were stuck taxing because a different (United) plane was still at our gate. This caused our UNITED flight to Sydney to leave without us and about 20 other people. We got off the plane at 10:33. We would have had enough time to RUN to the other gate to catch our flight to Sydney that ended up ,leaving  the gate at 10:45.  Elizabeth and I were the (and still are) stuck in San Fran until tonight (friday night) at 10:30. Untied was kind enough to put us up in a semi-okay hotel, and gave us each $21 in food vouchers.  

 The good part is that we got to shower and sleep and charge our phones/ipodsThe bad is that we really wanted to see Aussie and go to our Santa Pub Crawl. But it's what you get when you travel, so i'm taking it all with grace. 

I'm so happy that all my hours of babysitting, dog walks, and dog sits are finally getting rewarded with a nice little adventure down under.
