Last month to celebrate the official launch of Terminal 2 in SFO, Virgin Galactic’s spaceship flew in along with Sir Richard for the festivities. Needless to say, our office was excited and I brought in my dSLR to snap some good shots.
Sam and I finally got the chance to fly out of the new T2 this past weekend when we were going down to LA to visit his family. Pinkberry, Cat Cora, awesome candy store, Andale, plentiful food options, and beautiful natural lighting. I’m a fan! 
Last Friday was truly Friday the 13th for us. First off, Sam lost his iPhone on Caltrain, lost his boarding past between going through security and arriving at the gate, and forgot the wisteria saplings he was trying to get down for his parent’s garden. 3 things. Aiya! Not to mention VA’s system was also down so we couldn’t get his boarding pass reprinted. Thankfully they did let us on the airplane we had a fairly uneventful trip down… Until my iPhone charger decided to spontaneously fail so we landed with 1 missing phone and 1 dead phone and no way to figure out where my in-laws were going to pick us up. Major Ai-YA!
We had a pretty good trip down in LA, plentiful food, went to a housewarming, had Korean BBQ in Irvine and shared probably the largest bowl of shaved ice I’ve ever seen from Guppy Teahouse.
Korean BBQ was awesome in So-Cal… the offered up the long rib type of kalbi instead of the cross cut short rib version up here and served everything with rice paper! I need to go and finish up my Yelp review so I can link it here.
I’m normally not a huge fan of beans of any type but I’ll eat Asian red beans in shaved ice or in moon cakes/pastries.
The entire monstrosity was over a foot tall, in a large bowl about a foot wide… covered in about a can’s worth of condensed milk and a small farmfield’s worth of beans.
Our flight back wasn’t too eventful. The systems were still touch and go this weekend so everything was done by hand, a la old school style. The plus side was that the passengers were patient enough to not give the VA employees too hard of a time!
Oh! The good news was that after calling the Caltrain lost and found number, Sam’s phone was recovered and we promptly picked it up after flying into SF Sunday night.
Sam + reunited iPhone = Happy.
It makes me happy that there are honest people out there. When I went to pick up his phone, Caltrain had about 40 different phones locked up waiting people to claim. Lesson to all… it is NOT a lost cause when things are misplaced!
