It was cold and windy, took the bus to the terminal, checked in, finished our snacks(yoghurt and cheese) before heading through security. Terminal 5 is very impressive, it's made up of three large buildings, a,b,c. After having some sushi, our gate was called and we headed to b37 via the train. 747 was on the Tarmac and we boarded with no delay. The deicers made us a little late and we missed our slot, delayed by 40 mins, bugger! Soon we were in the air, it was a fairly roomy seat. Clare had the window seat and I was next to her with, a non English speaking man next to me.
Watched a couple of films, cowboys and aliens, and x men first class, got some sleep too. Food was ok, roast beef for lunch and a sandwich with a muffin for tea.
After landing and taxiing for a long time, we were off the plane and through immigration. The policeman checking the passports was quite funny and thought I should know tiger woods! Picked up bags and headed to the Bart train. 25 minutes later we were walking to our hotel. Checked in, nice big room with 2 double beds. After 25 mins we hit the streets for a walk. We walked to union square, massive Christmas tree and palm trees covered in lights.
We then walked through china town to get to the piers. The we walked back up an over nob hill, had diner in Mels Diner, a burger each and we headed back to our hotel, it was about 7pm and we were both shattered after a long day!
