Traveling Home

07-15: Up and out early for us – Before 9a! We got a Bolt (like Uber) that took us to our airport hotel location in 20+ minute ride. We can get a noon check-in but, in the meantime, we played cards in the lobby. Their restaurant only opens for dinner. They have a bit of food/drink in the lobby. We split a club sandwich and a bag of chips, along with a Coke. We were in our room by 1:30p and spent the rest of the afternoon on our laptops and catching up on a few things. When we went down for dinner, we were met with a closed restaurant and a dinner buffet was the only option. Since there are no restaurants near us, we did the buffet. Then off to bed.

07-16: Up and to the airport by 5a. All checked in and waiting in the Polaris Lounge. There is some concern flying through Frankfurt airport as there have been many long waits and problems for us there in the past. This time things went smooth. I had a wheelchair, so we made it through the check in process faster. We are now scanned and set up for the new EES system, I hope. They did it differently for each of us and didn’t take Stuart’s photo. We’ll see what happens next time! Flight from Frankfurt to SFO was fabulous. We traveled in Polaris class. I could lay down and even slept for a couple hours. Nice movies, pretty nice foods, and friendly staff. True travel in comfort! We had a long wait in SFO, even longer with a delayed take off. We did walk in our front door about 11p. Good to be home.
