The True San Francisco Treat

No, its not Rice a Roni…its the United International First Class Arrivals lounge. ;) After arriving in SFO I went to this wonderful lounge which in my opinion has the nicest lounge bathroom to shower and freshen up and grab a bite to eat.

The flight from Sydney to San Francisco was spectacular!! The flight crew was the best I have had and the food was quite good. For an appetizer I had a Seafood Skewer which had shrimp and prawns. Then a cup of mushroom soup was served and that was exceptionally delicious! I chose the Filet Mignon with potatoes and asparagus as my main course. As before I had all 3 deserts offered :D First I had a variety of cheeses with a nice glass of Port. Then I strawberries with yogurt followed by an ice cream sundae with all the toppings! :D I slept for most of the flight and woke up when we were about 60 minutes from SFO. I was quite impressed with the flight crew, the service had been exceptionally nice throughout the flight but in the morning as soon as I woke up and removed my eye shade I saw the lead flight attendant offering me a variety of juices. For a second I thought I was flying Singapore Airlines (but maybe that was just the jet lag ;) )

They close this lounge at 12:30pm (10 minutes…yikes!) so I will be forced to trek over to the Delta terminal and check in for my 2:00pm flight to ATL. The flight is a 767 but my upgrade is still waitlisted! (Wish me luck!) With my connection in Atlanta and then the drive from Charlotte back to Columbia I won’t be home until 1am!! :(
