SFO - PHX - PRC
Christian took us out for a great breakfast at Squat & Gobble before loaning us a car for the day. Armed with a few pointers on the best options for our San-Francisco-in-an-hour tour, we managed to squeeze in a drive around downtown, a walk from the Embarcadero down to Fisherman’s Wharf, and a bike-taxi ride back to the car before our flight to Arizona.
Naturally, arriving at the airport on-time we arrived at the security checkpoint to find no lines. Fortunately, the airport has free WiFi and decent taste in wines. We discovered another tasty zinfandel, Rosenblum, while waiting in the bar next to our gate. Surprisingly, wine is cheaper by the glass here at SFO than it is by the bottle. Even more surprising, zinfandel actually tastes good with a toasted bagel and cream cheese.
A lot has changed since the last time I flew. I can’t get plain old peanuts anymore, the menu has quadrupled in size, and they have a tolerable mojito which comes in a little foil pouch that looks like it came from NASA. Our flight is running late so we’ll have about 15 minutes to get to the Prescott shuttle, plenty of time since we are flying without luggage (UPS is cheaper than paying the bag fee). I can’t help but laugh as the cute “credit stewardess” attempts to sell us on the US Airways MasterCard.
