Day 5 - New York to San Francisco

We got a yellow cab from our hotel to the airport at 7am. We found out flight to San Francisco was cancelled so had to wait in a huge queue to be told we could get another flight at 6pm. There was nothing else we could do! A woman at airport told us there was a shopping mall nearby that we could get a cab to and we could spend some time there. Fearing being bored all day we jumped in a cab and was dropped off at the mall. Our first stop was a Wal-Mart where we had a look around and decided that it wasn't that different from shopping centres so we went into the mall beside it. We wandered about the mall and had lunch then went back to the airport!

Eventually we got an American Airlines flight to San Francisco. The flight landed late at night and our bags had gone on an earlier flight so we didn't have to wait for them at all. We got a train into San Francisco town centre, and then got a tram round the Embarcadero to the Fishermans Wharf where our hotel was on the front. It was quite dark so we couldn't see any of the views when we were coming in! We checked into the hotel and when we got to our room we found the bed was one that you could control the hardness and softness using a remote control - and each side of the bed was different so you could change each side separately!
