Camino Portugues Day 0: SFO

Sitting in a lounge in A Terminal of SFO.  I allow myself a few beers while traveling and when I walk or ride for days in a row.  So I'm having a few in the hopes I get some sleep before a long day in Lisbon.


I think I like morning flights because I've spent half a day sort of keeping busy in a distracted way.  Theis is a 4:30pm flight which is nice as it arrives 11am.  2 to 9 would be a little nicer.  This morning I walked the dog with Laurie; drove Aidan to school; made a half hearted start to my taxes;  and partially set up a new computer that I ordered two months ago and left sitting in a box.  


All the while I was reviewing in my mind everything I was bringing.  One thing I intentionally did not bring was headphones.  I have an old set for the plane movies but phones no longer have jacks for those.  I did not want to be tempted to put on any podcasts which getting quite depressing.  I will look away for a month.


My pack is not at all packed tightly.  There is a good amount of slack at the top.  I happy with my packing for this trip ... at least until I am freezing some cold morning.


Turns out I was a little hungry.  This pasta and meatballs is disappearing quickly.  Time for one more beer and then head to the gate.

Bom Caminho!
