Homeward bound
05.31.2009
After 3 days of fun I’m still not ready to go home. I can feel myself decompressing. I guess I really needed this vacation. Sometimes you just have to get out of town. Today was day 2 of Wordcamp but when I got up this morning I decided that I just didn’t want to sit through another day of conferencing, even if this day was the cooler, geekier, developer day. I played hookey and wandered the city after sleeping in. I found cool cafes for breakfast and lunch. Saw Star Trek (which was totally awesome!). Hit up a good comic shop (Isotope Comics, if you’re in San Francisco, find this comic shop). Stumbled across a craft fair. Spent not nearly enough time in a great used book store and here I am now at the airport with clammy hands because I forgot to check in early enough and ended up in late B group. Looks like no one had A 1-15 though so I think that saved me.
I hope the used book store you went to was easier to find than the last time in SF.
Ah yes, who could forget this journey?
It appears that boarding group “A” numbers 1-15 are reserved for “business class.” This seems to be why they now have you line up in number order rather than just having wide open A, B and C boarding groups.
Manduh gets those slots all the time because of how much she flys and I’ve flown that before and it’s kind of awesome but not worth triple their regular cheap as hell tickets. I’ve just never seen them not have those slots filled I guess. Even the announcer gate lady seemed surprised.
I don’t get those, I got the always A, but not the “business” class ones, it is pretty lame really, not worth the price if you ask me.
This is a very boring conversation.
“Whaaat’s the deeeal with airline peanuts?”
