We finally find a service station and I am in there trying to make sure there is the right amount of money to fill the car with petrol - you pay first and fill later. I am asking the girl behind the counter the way to the airport - she interrupts me and goes "oh my gawd! You got one blue eye and one green eye!" my response - yes you are right - so I go out of the driveway right and then turn left?
Quick flight to Atlanta - Georgia - apparently the worlds busiest airport these days! The screens have hundreds of flights!!! We are in one of many terminals but thankfully do not need to go far for our departure gate - we have a while to kill so get something to eat - Asian - and have a look around.
The flight through to San Fran is uneventful - long enough but not too long. Views of mountains and canyons and farms makes it varied and interesting. First view of snow for a while!
We arrive San Fran airport and pick up the car - a white beast Cheverolette Malibu- bit bigger than the nice Volvo in Florida. We do not have too far to go but already I can feel the roads are a lot busier - we are staying the first night at an airport Hotel (motel really) the Howard Johnsons - or HoJo as they are called. It really is quite a run down old place but it is only one night - have a beautiful view of the motorway. Breakfast in the morning we fill up on bagels and cereals - so all is not too bad.
It's off to experience San Fran - just got to get out of the Hotel, across the busy road and get on the highway!
