We've arrived

Well, we're here.  It's 7.43pm  Thursday San Francisco time.  We're just about ready to turn in for the night after a long day and night.

Our flight was fine.  It was fairly packed so we couldn't spread ourselves out but we all manged to get some sleep...the girls had about 4-5 hrs each, as did Mum.  Bry and I dozed on and off.  We actually landed 40 minutes early but couldn't taxi to our gate as the previous flight hadn't left yet.

When we finally did get off the plane, customs was a breeze.  Everyone was really friendly and we hardly had to queue.  The girls were most upset they weren't old enough to have their fingerprints taken though.

Yay, we're off the plane!!!

We jumped on the Airtrain to the car rental place and probably had our longest queue.  We eventually got our Dodge Caravan and drove out of the carpark where Bry then tried to drive on the left hand side of the road...oops, 2 minutes in to his driving.  Mum and i yelled at him and he quickly sorted it.  I must say, he's done very well since.

We drove to the closest Mall and got ourselves 'Five Guys' burgers for lunch.  Yum!! Like home made ones, not plastic ones.  We had a look around, bought Taylor a booster seat for $25 at Target (Californian law says children have to sit in one until they are 8) and then drove to the nearest Radio Shack to get cellphones.

We made it to the Motor Inn at about 3, checked in and then headed to the closest Walgreens to get some bits and pieces.  On the way home we stopped at a delicious Mexican chain "Chipotle" for dinner.  YUMMY!! Bry and Mum got a delicious looking salad bowl and the girls and I got burritos.  Mine was stuffed with heaps of rice, capsicums, onions, guacamole, tomato, cheese, sour cream, corn, and salsa. It was huge and only $4.50.

Then we walked along the road until we saw the Golden Gate Bridge. 

We've arrived!

Now we're back at the hotel about to crash.  More tomorrow...we're all smiling.
