I’ve arrived in San Francisco and am waiting for my flight to Salt Lake City. My worry about getting through immigration and customs was completely unfounded! What a pleasant surprise! I was among the first folks off the airplane and had about a 10 minute wait to get to the immigration official. A couple of questions later I was on my way to pick up my luggage and go through customs. Both of my bags were already there and had been pulled off the luggage carousel, just waiting for me. The customs official waved me through the “nothing to declare” line and I was on my way to Terminal 1 and my flight to Salt Lake City. I was really impressed. Way to go San Francisco Airport!

On the other hand, the flight to Salt Lake City is delayed. I’ve got a long layover there, so that’s not a problem. I guess I wait either here or there. The SFO airport is fairly quiet this afternoon. It’ll be interesting to see how many people are on my flight to Salt Lake. Right now there are about 15 people waiting with a little less than an hour before we board the flight

This is the first time I’ve been able to download e-mail for several days. The Sprint PCS Wireless Card comes in handy, although it is not a real speed demon. I had 957 e-mails waiting. About 30% are spam, all of the rest from one of the two e-mail lists that I subscribe to. The e-mail should be downloaded by the time we board the airplane. I’ll do some reading of e-mail on the way to Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, it’s good to be this far on my way home from a two-week business trip.
