Domo Arigato

I have heard of these kinds of travel days but not experienced one until today. My flight left Boise at 6am this morning for Sacramento by way of San Francisco. Due to fog in both California locations my flight is cancelled into Sac. I am put on the next flight but then it’s cancelled and so on. By this time it’s 1pm and doesn’t look like I’m going anywhere from San Francisco.

Apparently I’m geographically challenged when it comes to California cities. I have been working with this one gate agent all morning when she says, “You didn’t check any bags, why don’t you just get a rental and drive”? Huh, now there’s a novel idea. In less than two hours I have a rental and am checking into my hotel in Sacramento. Learn something new every day. A little geography and common sense goes a long way sometimes.

Long day getting to Sacramento and just want to pick something up and go back to the hotel for the premiere of American Idle?
“Thank you very much” to Arigato Sushi on Howe Ave. In the absence of a useful recommendation from the hotel staff I decide to drive around looking for the busiest Sushi place in town. I figure, the busier the place is the better the chance of me not getting sick. Arigato’s is my third stop and I’m a little put off by the 50% off all rolls and sushi but this place is packed. Never been to a sushi sale before, but all the more reason to load yourself up at this place. Don’t judge Arigato’s by the pictures in the menu. Everything I had tonight was well worth the fuel and a perfect ending to a long day.
