Once in the San Fran airport (at 10:43am), I headed to the Air Canada desk. Somehow I was booked on a 6pm flight instead of the 3:30 flight listed on my itinerary. They (AC people) told me that during the period of time after my flight had been booked, there had been a flight time change and that the 6pm was the only flight available to Vancouver that day. I went over to the United Airlines desk (at the other end of the airport) to see if they could put me on their 1pm flight (UA and AC are both part of the Star Alliance). Well they told me that since my ticket was booked so long ago, my booking number didn't work in their system. So I had to run back to the AC desk to get a booking number printed out. They (AC people) told me that they couldn't do anything. They expected me to sit in the airport for 7 hours! Yeah right, that wasn't going to happen! By this time, it was almost 12pm. I ended up calling the Aeroplan people (my mom booked the ticket through them). Told them the situation and they changed it all. Put me on the United 1pm, YAY! I quickly ran back to the United desk to get my ticket printed and bag checked. Security was next and then I was in the terminal looking for food. Ate a mixed green salad with lemon and basil vinegrette, and also a piece of banana bread (in 15 minutes). Boarded the plane and was on my way back to Canada!
I met my parents at the Pan Pacific that night. They missed me ;) !!! We went out for dinner at The Keg and drove home the next day.
