We flew into San Francisco International. There was some weird guy on the tram telling us how San Francisco is the best airport in the world. Whatever. We went to get our rental car, and the guy told us to pick from any number of cars in a certain aisle (the SUV lane).

We chose a beige-ish Suzuki XL_7. When we got inside we were very disappointed to see that it had a CD player not a tape deck. This was bad because we had brought an iPod (with tape adaptor) to listen to music on. D’oh!

We drove from the airport to our hotel, the Pacific Heights Inn. It was a little motel in a great location. Monty, one of the people that worked there, was awesome. He always had good advice and even better jokes.

The only problem we had was that there was no A/C. When we got there we realized that we hadn’t checked for it beforehand. However, it wasn’t too bad since we had a big fan and at night it was cooler anyway.

That night we went down Union Street to grab a bite to eat and check out the local scene. What we saw were lots of furniture stores, and someone riding down the street showing off their Segway.
