Day One - San Francisco

It was very nice leaving late in the day - made for a very relaxed day and we both found a couple of little things to thrown in that we may have missed otherwise. 
Our flight to San Francisco was routine - which is always a good thing. Surprisingly, we did not have to pay an extra suitcase fee!  Maybe it was because we have a "preferred" status since we're using frequent flyer miles, but whatever the reason, I'm not complaining.  On the NWA flight, they came around with beverage service once, but with water or coffee 3 additional times!  We also experienced a very long sunset.  Since we were heading west, the sunset lasted for over 1 hour, like it was in slow motion.  And it was beautiful as the blues and gold turned into a deep red. 
On the other hand. this Day's Inn has issues.  Shuttle service was hard to contact, Internet has been down, ants in the bathroom,  and less that friendly staff.  We're currently booked to stay here the 2 days we're in SFO on our way back, but I think that will change.  On our walk this morning we found a nice Comfort Inn down the street that has a pretty good rate and meets our 3 criteria (Airport Shuttle, Breakfast, and Internet).  I think I'll get a reservation there before we leave today.  
Later today we plan to head downtown to have lunch at Fisherman's Wharf and sight-see in that area. Then back here and head to the airport since we are supposed to be there by 7:15 p.m.
