Yesterday started off well. We left Tahoe at around 8:15 AM and only experienced light traffic on our way back to SF. We had some great Dim Sum in the Richmond district.

The headaches began after we got into SFO. Our flight to DFW was delayed. Once we got close to Dallas, we found out we’d be getting off the plane at the same time our connecting flight was scheduled to leave. Pete and I ended up running across the sky bridge at DFW only to find no one and no plane at our gate.

We rescheduled for the next morning and they gave us a room in the Westin. Nice right? We had to wait for an hour as 3 different shuttles to the Westin filled up and left for the hotel.

After finally getting into our room I thought a nice hot shower would help. Too bad the shower was too hot. On one end, the water was boiling hot. On the other end it was still too hot to stand in. Now after 5 hours of sleep I’m back at DFW trying to board my morning flight to Austin.

Currently delayed at LAX. The past few times I’ve been through here, I always seem to end up in this part of the AA Terminal.

During the flight, there was a guy sitting two rows behind me that kept talking. Normally the white noise does a good job in drowning out voices but I guess his voice was just at the right frequency because I could hear everything he was saying. I eventually put my headphones on and had to turn the music all the way up. Amazing..

We’re flying out to Chicago today to visit the little nephew. Bought him some Thomas the Train goodies for his 2nd birthday. We’ll be back in Austin on Monday.

Waiting to board my flight back to Austin. Some highlights of the trip: playing Wii with the parents, hanging out with Tim in SF, getting spoiled with really good chinese food, eating lunch with a good friend.

Waiting to board my Southwest flight to San Jose. This will be my first time flying Southwest.
