Saratoga Springs, NY. Here I Come



Today I leave San Francisco for the East Coast. My destination is Saratoga Springs and I fly into Albany, NY. Flying on Southwest certainly saves a lot of money but that also means no meals will be served and seating is based on one rule: first come first serve.

My day started early. My ride picked me up before 8 am and we went to Swan Oyster Depot on Polk Street for breakfast. Clam chowders, fresh oysters and smoked salmon for breakfast is such a luxury! I thought about packing up a seafood salad to eat on the plane but it may be too fishy for the passengers around me. LOL.

When I transferred via Chicago Midway airport, I saw the American flag in-between concourse. It makes me wonder about the price we have to pay in order to preserve our freedom...
