    Made it to SD alright. Little grey, but it’s early. Plenty of time to get better…

    Guy at security gave me some interesting facts about the full body scan. Only women look at women, they are in a booth and aren't allowed out until all they scanned have left the area.

    If you fly United, the gate areas are -always- crowded, so you may have difficulty in finding places to sit.

    It does not pay to have an early flight as it seems the airport has all the new trainees working.

    Worst airport ever! Need to take some pointers from TPA. This airport is inefficient an unfriendly for moving passengers in and out of the airport. Bathrooms at the top of an escalator?! Genius!

    The food here is a joke. Nothing but refrigerated sandwiches that cost 9 bucks. Be sure to eat before passing thru secretly if you're flying out of.
