OOW08 - Arrived in San Francisco

Written 18 years ago. Oracle APEX has moved on a lot since; check the current Oracle APEX posts too.

I just arrived in San Francisco.

The flights weren’t that bad after all. Actually the local flight from LA to San Francisco was really good! There was a steward called Tim and he was really funny. With the safety procedure he put humor into it and with success! For the first time I saw people actually listening to the whole explanation. He got a nice applause at the end too. Flying with Southwest airlines was a bit special, as you can pick your seat. I had position 5, meaning I could get into the plane as one of the first and had plenty of choice. Next to that I got a drink of the house.

And for the first time I managed to pass customs in less than 30 minutes! But then I had to wait for my luggage for 15 minutes ;-)

I’m currently in my hotel room, same place as last year, the King George hotel. I didn’t get that much sleep yet and am awake for over 20h. In the plane I saw some good movies, one called “in Bruges”, which I was surprised to see on the list, as it’s a town in Belgium.

Now I’m quickly freshing up and going to have something to eat and drink…
