Yep, we’re stuck in San Francisco. We were packing this morning and I rang Victor, Jordan’s uncle in New York at one of whose apartments we’re staying there… and he mentioned that we might be delayed when we got there, because there’s huge storms there right now (apparently abating though).
Shortly after which Ange was looking on the American Airlines site and discovered that it looked like our flight had been cancelled! Not that they’d, like, told us yet - I guess they have lots of people to tell, but anyway, not only stuck but the first flight they offered us was for Tuesday morning! Ange managed to get them to find a flight leaving at midday tomorrow (Monday) to St Louis and then on to New York (arriving 10:45pm), so we’re missing a day of New York and having a day of travel. American Airlines were fabulously unhelpful really - as the guy at reception at the hotel said, “Welcome to US airlines”.
Yup.

Anyway, lots of reading will be caught up on. I do owe a whole week’s worth of travelblogging, which I hope to get to shortly! For now, suffice to say that San Francisco is an awesome place. Among the places visited are the best comics shop in America, probably the best science fiction specialist bookshop, and a couple of awesome record stores… But there’s so many awesome little bookshops too, there’s the SFMOMA and a bunch of other great art galleries/museums, lots of cool/funky areas and so on. So yeah.
Also met up with and hung out with my old friend Karen, which was lovely too.
Details to come soon!
