I'll finish up the posts
I'll finish up the posts about SF tomorrow, but I just have to say that I did jinx myself by praising my travel karma. Whenever you are trying to use any form of transportation whatsoever, NEVER make any comment like, "Golly, we sure are making good time!"
Instant karma switch to the travel from hell. By commenting on my good travel karma, I lured myself into a nightmarish 2 hours and fifteen minutes of bus and train time last night once I arrived at JFK Airport. I almost missed my flight out of California because of my chronic lateness (plus Michael's terrible check theft scandal) but managed to get home with suitcases. I looked for taxis, but the only ones at the airport were private cabs and they wanted 35 bucks for a ten minute ride across town. I opted foolishly for the $1.50 subway fare, and spent the next TWO HOURS AND FIFTEEN MINUTES trapped in an A train with a flatulent drunkard.
