After running out of excuses of not going to Austin for work, I willed myself to prepare for a 2 week trip. At this point I haven't been on a plane for nearly 1.5 year (ever since coming back from NZ trip early 2020) So I thought I left adequate time to get to SFO, but a traffic accident on 101 added an extra 20 mins. I ended up deciding to bring my suitcase directly as carry-on. I looked calm, but I was definitely panicking. All these years in-and-out of SFO, I've never missed a flight!
Anyway, as I arrived at the gate, there was noone, and I was definitely in a lot of trouble. Colleagues, hotel, rental car all need to be informed. The worst is being suspected that this is part of my tactics of not wanting to go to Austin. Thankfully the travel agent re-booked me onto an early morning Alaskan airline flight the next day without fuss (and I chose SJC to be safe) On hindsight I should have chosen SJC from the get go, but I was after United points...
To effectively spend my now wasted trip to SFO, I decided to take a day off in the post security area and leisurely paint some planes
