July 19th, 2006. Travel Day.

We arrived at Lindbergh with plenty of time to get through the check in process and to our gate with about an hour to hang out.
We only checked the suitcase. Suit bag and carryons were carried on. Don't want to lose the dressy clothes and have to find some at last minute! Flight left a couple minutes late, but time was made up in the air. Oakland airport was a disaster. Under construction and rental car agency was a bus ride away from the terminal. Once at the rental agencies, no one had any cars! We found an offsite rental agency that had cars. So we got out of the endless line and took a ride to the offsite agency. It was fine. They had Toyota Corollas which was just fine for the 2 of us. Once away from that scene, the drive was uneventful up to Yountville.
