041701 - Arrive SFO on BART.  There is another train from the BART station into
041702 - the airline terminals.  The train engineer announces the stop for
041703 - International terminals, but says to check the signs on the wall to
041704 - figure out which concourse stop is for particular domestic airlines.
041705 - There is about 1 minute to check numerous signs on the wall and
041706 - determine when to get off for UAL terminal,
041708 -  ..
041709 - Took a chance and got off at the next stop "G" or "3" not sure which,
041710 - but it was a correct guess, verified by another passenger.
041711 - Fortunately, there is plenty of time to correct for mistakes until
041712 - the plane leaves at 2230.
041714 -  ..
041715 - Next is to convert printed E-ticket purchased on 100816 0607.
041716 - ref SDS 20 M15F, into a boarding pass.  This is a self-service
041717 - process, similar to new system at Safeway to pay for groceries without
041718 - a checkout attendant.
041720 -  ..
041721 - Seems to turn out that customers do not really need the E-ticket, just
041722 - the confirmation number, shown in the E-ticket on 100816 0607.
041723 - ref SDS 20 2E4T
041725 -  ..
041726 - Two UAL attendants helped use the computer to get the system to
041727 - produce a boarding pass, and to use the Wells Fargo debit card to pay
041728 - $25.00 for checking a bag.  This is considerably different from prior
041729 - years where skycap attendant checked baggage at the entrance to the
041730 - terminal, which was free, but you gave the skycap person a tip.
041732 -  ..
041733 - The computer produced a claim check, which the attendant removed a
041734 - claim document to get the baggage at JFK, and clipped the claim check
041735 - to the baggage handle.
041740 -  ..
041741 - Put the claim check in the wallet for use at JFK.
041742 -
041750 -  ..
041751 - Boarding pass will be used for the flight to New York, and will be
041752 - used again to return on 100911 1100 from New York to San Francisco.

042101 - Showed boarding pass and picture ID (driver's license), and was
042102 - admitted to security check.
042104 -  ..
042105 - This requires removing notebook computer from case and placing in a
042106 - plastic container.  The carrying case is placed in a seperate
042107 - plastic container,  Customers must also remove shoes and put them in
042108 - a plastic container.  All are run on a conveyor belt through a
042109 - scanning device.
042111 -  ..
042112 - Customers walk through a scanning device without shoes.
042114 -  ..

042502 -
042503 - Looking for a chair next to an electrical outlet.  Most of them are

042505 - the far end of Gate 80.
042507 -  ..
042508 - Turned out that the laser mouse does not work well on the vinyl
042509 - chairs, and the chairs are a little too high to use the notebook
042510 - computer efficiently.  Found some empty boxes next to the wall, and
042511 - used one for a foot rest to elevate the knees so the notebook
042512 - computer is an efficient elevation and angle for working.  Tore off a
042513 - piece of cardboard on a box that was already torn.  This surface
042514 - works well for the laser mouse.

043709 -            and Claudia picked up at the airport for the prior trip on
043710 -            100828 (arrival was the next day on 100829), I looked
