Dave's San Francisco Adventure

Dave's San Francisco Adventure

Way back in June, long before the events of Sept. 11, I decided I would attend the October 6 wedding of an old college friend, Laura Huber. I figured I could make a mini-vacation out of the trip and visit San Francisco, so I had a flight scheduled out of National Airport. Because of the Closure of National Airport, made alternative Arrangements at BWI. The ATA arilines I was supposed to fly out of National did not serve BWI or Dulles, the other 2 DC area airports. Figuring (correctly) that National would not re-open in time, I booked a flight out of BWI. In the meantime, the ATA decided to schedule service from Dulles. National Airport is served by Subway, and BWI is served by commuter train. Dulles has only limited bus service. So my BWI flight was cancelled as was my Dulles Flight. By hook or crook, I got to San Francsico--I had to get an earlier flight from BWI. Anyhow, here are some photos.

The wedding was a beautiful oceanside ceremony in Pacifica, Ca at the Lighthouse Hotel . I had an oceanside balcony room in the hotel during my 4 day stay.
