Off we go…
Okay, I’m signing off. I may try to get online later tonight after I’m in San Francisco, depending on how things go. I pray that my flight doesn’t get cancelled or my luggage lost. I did print out my boarding pass and dear God, I’m in row 32. There were, um, about 4 seats left. Not good. And what is UP with them charging $64 to sit in an economy class seat with leg room. They also don’t feed us–it’s $5.00 for a box lunch.
I have a feeling that down the road, there will be free seats available outside, strapped to the tail and wings. Everything else will be pay-as-you-go. Oxygen masks will be an extra fee, in the case of a loss of cabin pressure.
And don’t get me started on luggage costs. Can you imagine, a family of five trying to travel? If each person takes 2 bags, it’s $125 extra. That really chaps my hide. They could raise the cost of the airline ticket by a few dollars and not have to charge anything extra for fuel. 
Okay, then, I’m off. I’ll be posting San Francisco pictures, later on. Pray for good flying weather!

I hope you have a safe trip!
I kid you not, if I ever have to travel somewhere and we don’t drive I’m taking the train. The ticket itself may cost more but A) I’ll have a bed, B) I’ll get fed real food, and C) I can get up and walk around as needed.

Have a blast, Michelle. After flying in Europe I really don’t understand our system. KLM and British Airlines were more comfy than any US airline I’ve flown. They constantly served us drinks and snacks and asked if we needed anything on a regular basis, and they didn’t charge extra for our luggage. I thought it was just the trans-Atlantic thing, but when I flew from Rome to Amsterdam, it was the same. I did that with a broken leg, and KLM was amazingly nice.
