The flight

Thanks to Rachel and Arden, they drove us to the airport with plenty of time to go through check in and to the gate. The flight is on time.
We landed just on time. It was interesting to see how all fields close to San Francisco are flooded. The clouds are very heavy and low, but when we landed, there were no rain. We are happy!

We took taxi to the hotel and by 1:00PM we were in our room. We dropped our stuff and while the rain stopped went to find something to eat.
We quickly discovered that there are no flat streets around Fairmont Hotel. The position of the hotel is on the highest point and everything is steep downhill. We walked about 1/2 a mile, but for Boris it was a very hard walk down. We found a restaurant, had quick lunch and walked up the “mountain” back to the hotel just in time before rain started again. The rain continued through evening, so we decided not to go anywhere.
Tomorrow we will board the ship.Read more
