Lisbon!

We arrived! Although after weather related delays at SFO and Newark, we weren't sure that was going to happen. Thankfully, at SFO we experienced the rarest breed of travel professionals--the contentious and customer-service-focused United rep. He complimented me on my passport photo, commented upon my stress level, and listened to our sob story--we just had one day in Lisbon with my brother, a day that was increasingly slipping away with flight delays. "A day is a day" he sagely told us, and worked some super-human magic to get us on the next flight to Newark, ensuring our connection to Lisbon. Bom dia.
