Off to California

Mrs. SFO and I had been hoping in vain for a JetSmarter empty leg to California for this weekend.  So we are slumming fly commercial today, off to SFO today and LA tomorrow to celebrate our anniversary and visit both sets of California kids.   And a weekend First Class sampler of United, Virgin America and American.  

Flying United means one sure thing... gate lice.  

So when in Rome...

One good about United is that, unlike American, they almost always boarding 757 thru 2L.  The result is a quiet and pleasant cabin.  

And plenty of time for open bar PDB service.

Another great DEN-based crew and excellent service throughout. 

Choice of chicken salad or "Angus cheeseburger" on a pretzel roll with with potato salad. A little institutional but still pretty tasty with some salt and all the fixings after scraping the cheese off the dish.
