We've safely arrived in San Francisco.

Our flights have been pretty uneventful, though George has obviously had a few concerns. As we were landing in Auckland George said in a loud voice, "Dear God, please don't let us die!"

The 12 hour flight went well. George went to sleep after dinner and slept until just before breakfast. Jack and Ben got to watch their choice of movies and Jack was lucky enough to be sitting by a man who wanted to engage him in conversation....he was pretty much out of luck!

We arrived to 18 degrees and a long queue at customs. First meltdown! (No not me) Ben couldn't understand why the queue was so long and why they couldn't hurry. He hadn't slept, was dehydrated and was basically pretty grumpy. After a few tears and one hour of queuing, we got through.

Our Hotel is fine, right in the middle of the city by Macys (good job) and close to the cable car. Tonight we're going to just rest in front of the TVs (yes one for us and one for the boys.) Tomorrow it starts!
