Day 42 - San Francisco to Los Angeles

Today was our last day in San Francisco. We spent some time packing our bags ready for the trip home and we also had a walk around the city, collecting a few last minute souvenirs. We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory which is located on the top floor of Macy's at Union Square - we had been to one of these restaurants on the last trip so we knew that we were in for a really good feed. We headed to the airport in the early afternoon and caught a flight down to Los Angeles. The flight to Australia was over booked so we put our names on a list to give up our seats (we did this last year and came home business class the following day). Not long after arriving in Los Angeles, Georgie started to feel sick. Over the next couple of hours she got much worse with gastro. It didn't look like she was going to be able to fly that night so we were hoping that they would need our seats on the plane. Luckily we were called about 1hr before the flight was due to depart and they asked us to give up our seats and we were offered Business Class via San Francisco the next night. This was such as relief as the flights on the following nights were also overfull so getting 4 seats was going to be a problem and we may have been stuck there for a few days. We packed Georgie up and took her to the hotel for some rest.
