Three layovers later, Zach and I made it to the Minneapolis airport. Our connecting flight was to leave at 11:47 am and our delayed Memphis flight pulled into the gate at 11:40. Just as my luck would have it, our connecting flight left early. We missed our flight and they had our new information at the terminal when we got off. I was pretty upset because this cut out half of our day in San Francisco that I had already planned to utilize. Oh well at least we got on a flight before the 9 pm flight!
A few jumps, jolts and falls later we arrived at SFO. The weather is awesome. I am sure it will kick in and be cool in few days! I had already planned our transportation to the airport so all we had to do was grab our bags and go. As it always happens, everyone crowds around the baggage claim like a bunch of vultures. All eyes fixed on the non-moving machine just praying our bags would hurry up! That is when I was FURIOUS! The Delta attendant had a bag from his office that he started to sling onto the machine and I said, "Zach that looks like ours". The man kindly replied, "Mr and Mrs. King?". "um, yes", I said. Then he lets us have this news, "Your piece of luggage came with the 1:45 flight and I have been holding it for you. You have two more pieces on this flight". Then naturally, you can guess what I said, "You have GOT TO BE KIDDING Me"! So in a nutshell, our luggage made it on the original flight that OBVIOUSLY had not really left yet and they were just being mean and not letting us on! Ugh, airlines. . .at least we are here.
We checked into the hotel, which is very nice! I am proud of my planning. . . Thus far. As you can imagine we were a little travel weary and really wanted to eat something local, quick, and good. This is when the concierge man told us to go to Chinatown and eat at House of NanKing.
Alright someone in Oxford did tell me this place is really good but come on, Chinatown? I was a tad bit nervous but we headed out. Without a lot of food details, Zach already said it has ruined all Chinese for him. It was the best thing EVER! It was fresh, white meat, no MSG, and so unique. Nevermind, I am giving you the details. We had sesame chicken with sweet potatoes, fried rice- no egg please, and egg rolls! We ate every last bit because as Zach put it to me, we must take advantage of good food. The dining experience was an experience in itself. Picture this. . .a restaurant full of 6 place setting tables. We are a party of two. No fear they just set you at a table with other couples to make a party of six. Don't picture Shogun, we all ate separately. So your food might be the only at the table with everyone else glaring at it. It was fun though!After a tasty dinner, we just wandered around in amazement. This town is so clean, so pretty and everyone is pretty friendly.
