Off to San Francisco

Now that we are in Denver, Mrs. SFO and I don’t see our two California sons (San Francisco and LA) and our four grandkids.  While grandkids are great, especially in small doses, we’ve thrown caution to the wind and decided to have all four here this week. I’ve been traveling with our SFO grandkids for years, usually shuttling them to Honolulu to spend time with my DIL’s family.  Now that we’re in Denver, I pick up the SFO grandkids, bring them to Denver and then take them back home.  Although this year, my oldest son ask “would you mind dropping them off in Hawaii instead of San Francisco?”  Why not, I’m always up for a mileage running, or so I thought.  And this year, the LA crew is coming at the same time.   OMG, all four of them for 5 days…. two 6 year old girls and two 3 year old boys.  What were we thinking?

So here we go, starting with an SFO pickup.  Unfortunately, DEN-SFO is a bad route for an AA Executive Platinum.  United, Frontier and Southwest are the only nonstop options.  Ugh.  I picked Frontier for my DEN-SFO because they are perfectly fine if you get pay a little extra for Stretch Seating, with a 36-37”pitch, and the price was right.  ;)

With a 7:39A departure and no PreCheck on Frontier, I left the house at around 5:40A.   Car seats installed I headed for convenient valet parking. 

I used my CLEAR to skip the lines but got the regular invasive security nonsense, complete with Nude-o-scope.  It has been so long since I didn’t have PreCheck, that I was like a kettle today, including forgetting to take off my shoes. LOL.  Off to the train and over to the Concourse A…

And up to Level 4 and the AA Admirals Club.    Not many people here this morning, perfect for a fresh batch of AC pics.
