Egypt and Jordan 2009

December 3 - Berkeley to New York

Everything went as scheduled today. The Bensons picked us up around 8:20 and took us to Rockridge BART. We caught the 8:49 train that delivered us to SFO about 50 minutes later. We took the shuttle to Delta, checked our bags and proceeded through security to our gate. The plane left close to on-time. We were in the next-to-the-last row which was OK for us. The flight was smooth with a little chop coming into JFK. Our luggage was among the first 20 coming off of the conveyer. We walked over to Air Train and took it to the Federal Circle station where we called the hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn, for its free shuttle service. We were in our room by 9:30 EST. Then it was a quick dinner at the hotel. We go to bed around 11:00.
