From airport to Hotel

This blog covers all the major/minor events of the first week of my stay in San Jose.

I landed on SFO airport on 26th July 2008 , Saturday and around 1230 local time. First step was to clear customs. There were lot of counters but there were long queues in each but the officer were dispersing the crowd quickly until a server crash brought a halt to the whole process for 5 mins. Once resumed, my turn came soon. All my apprehensions about customs and immigration got over soon and I got I94 for 12 weeks as I had asked for. Next step was the get baggages and to go out. It took a bit of time for the baggage to come. Once I got the baggage, went out to be greeted by SFO city. One Indian guy kept pestering about taking us in less charge and I finally fell to his pestering and told him that I wanted to go to Extended Stay in San Jose. He took 50 $ each and agreed to drop us.

Some observations made on this trip:

• 45 mile trip was covered in less than 30 mins.
• There was not a single traffic signal where we had to wait. It was difficult to beleive that we are going out of a major airport of the USA.
• The roads super and the vehicles zoomed on their track.
  
• Climate was pretty good , must have been around 20 degree celsius.
• All through this 45 mile trip, I could spot only one bike.

And we reached the hotel.
