  • December 30 - New York to Berkeley

    Wow! I must have been tired. I woke up after 7:00 giving me at least 11 hours of sleep. Ann was up a few minutes earlier. We went down to breakfast and then killed time until we took the 11:00 shuttle to the Delta terminal at JFK. The terminal looked like a ghost town. There were very few people there. We had our boarding passes printed out from the hotel, so all we had to do was step up to the counter and hand over our bags. We were the only ones at the counter so it was a quick check in.


    After doing some last-minute shopping, we decided to look for our gate. We discovered that it was a short walk to the adjacent terminal. When we got there, a lot more people were waiting for flights. We had some time, so we had lunch at a mini-Chili's. Then we got onto our plane.


    Our seats were in the last row. The couple next to Ann had one bad leg, so they were moved up to first class. This meant that Ann and I could sit next to each other with the middle seat vacant. It was a good flight.


    The Bensons met us at SFO and drove us home bringing us some groceries to tide us over until the next day or so. Karen also left us some fruit, zitti, wine and fudge. What nice people!!!!
