Unconventional Flight To San Francisco

Had some business to take care of in Fort Lauderdale, and in San Francisco, both the same week... So I booked a direct flight from SJO (San Jose, Costa Rica) to FLL via Spirit Air, which although being a ghetto as hell airline is still the cheapest and fastest way for me to get to the USA. I paid the extra $30 to reserve exit row (ghetto first class!) and had a great flight. Spent a couple days in one of the beach hotels, got my biz done, and started on part two of the trip.

Flew Continental from FLL to IAH to SFO... Not the recommended way to do it, but I've got my Elite Status to maintain ;) The first flight to Houston left ridiculously early in the morning, which I absolutely abhor, but what can you do. I scheduled a short layover because I didn't have to go through customs this time, so no Sky Box. Just had enough time to pick up a Robb Report (the ultimate airplane reader, the people who sit next to me keep staring and wondering why I am reading reviews of $18 million yachts!

Landed in San Francisco at the perfect time to rent a car, drive in the sunshine for 12 minutes, and hit a massive wall of rolling fog. Checked into an insanely overpriced hotel, and checked out downtown... Great shopping actually, I spent over an hour trying to track down this pair of white leather Giorgio Armani shoes in my size that were featured in an insane sale at Saks Fifth... Never found em though. Oh well, should be a fun (and productive) week.
