And so it was that I arrived in San Francisco for the big event looking as if my hair had been styled by an angry ring-tailed lemur.<\/p>\n

My trip began innocently enough. Operation Packing Plan B<\/a> was an enormous success. Sure I was a little short on time, but I compensated by piling my artificially golden, wet locks up in a fashionable clip. For every person that would think I was a wreck, I was certain that another would consider me whimsically, see-how-much-I-don’t-try-too-hard eccentric.<\/p>\n

I made it to the airport with an hour and a half to spare. I immediately parked at Terminal 2. I did this for two reasons. First, I was flying American Airlines. I knew<\/em> I was flying American Airlines because my eTicket, which I booked on AmericanAirlines.com, said “American Airlines” all over it. Second, American Airlines is located in Terminal 2, that is if you believe the numerous airport directional signs, the logos on the parked planes at Terminal 2 gates, and my experience from having lived here for the PAST 30 YEARS! True, my eTicket didn’t specifically say “Go to Terminal 2”, but I suspect few can argue with my logic here.<\/p>\n

As I attempted Self-Service Check-In, I got an error message on the screen along the lines of “Danger, Abort, Unauthorized Access Attempted, Hide Your Children, Secure Exit Doors!” It was then that Helpful Lady at the Check-In Counter, shaking her head in disgust, explained that San Francisco<\/em> departures are on their Partner<\/em> airline.<\/em> “You will have to walk down there<\/em>“, she said (pointing to, oh, North Dakota), “carry your (49.8 pound) suitcase down that<\/em> flight of stairs, and check in at Terminal 1″.<\/p>\n

No problem! I had time, and as luck would have it, Terminal 1 was not nearly as crowded as stupid-snooty Terminal 2. Then came (insert creepy music) SECURITY. This is where I and my fellow Terminal 1 travelers Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
