We woke early today with a flight booked to Portland with an hour lay over at San Francisco and then connecting onto Portland by 1.30 p.m. Once we got to the airport and on the plane the pilot spoke to us and advised that we were going to be delayed 1 hour due to fog in San Francisco. After about 15 minutes they asked all the people connecting to Portland to get off the plane. This was when they told us that the flight was delayed til 8.50 pm and gave us some options. We decided to go to San Francisco and spend the day there. Once arriving into SF we caught the Bart train to the city and decided to go exploring. We walked along the wharf area and each of the piers. Got clam chowder out of a bread bowl and then walked to Lombard Street. From there we walked back through the city taking in some unique SF skyline etc. We decided to get the train back to the airport at 6.00 pm so we were back in plenty of time. Once at the airport they then told us the flight was delayed to 10.00 pm. So we sat at the airport for 3.5 hours waiting. The flight then never left til 10.30 pm. Got to Portland by midnight, picked up the rental car and got to the motel and into bed at 2.00 am. Wow what a long and exhausting day.
