Woke up early for a 7:45 AM pickup to the airport. Got our vehicles loaded and then took off like we were in a F1 Race. We zipped in and out of traffic, lanes, side streets. Saw my life flash before my eyes only twice but had some old memories flash several more times. We arrive at the airpot get checked in and settled in to the Lounge. Then we started getting notices are flight was delayed. Then another. Then another. Then another. At this point the Lounge kicked us out because we were over our time limit. We went to hang out near our gate to find out once we got settled the gate was moved to the other side of the terminal. We then got another delay and told to go to the Fisherman's Wharf. What the hell is the Fisherman's Wharf and why am I going there?! The airline was giving our free food for all those that were delayed and Fisherman's Wharf was the place that was providing it. We got our free food and some KFC for us meat eaters since it was Veg only at Fisherman's Wharf. We waited around a bit longer and now it was time to board. Flight itself was uneventful we got our luggage collected and realized that we had under 30 minutes to get our luggage checked in for our flight home!! We had allotted having 6 hours before our flight home but that was eaten up with the delays due to Fog/Smog. We barely get on the bus to get us from our terminal to the International Terminal. They're not connected. You have to go into the city to get from one to another. As we are heading to the terminal we are getting calls from the Airline telling us we need to hurry. We're on a bus, we have not control over when we get there. We eventually arrive and rush to check-in and are told we have less than 30 minutes to get on the plane and our gate is on the other side of the terminal. My son and I are the last to get through security. We get through and RUN as fast as we can to get to the gate and get on the plane with 4 minutes to spare before doors closed. That was the craziest experience related to air travel I have ever experienced. 8.5 hour flight to Tokyo, here we come.
