Tried checking in online with Virgin America but failed. They are switching to a new reservation system and have been encountering some problems. Washed dishes, threw out food that won't survive the next 3 days, showered, and finished packing. We were running short on time, so we abandoned our plan to take Muni then BART and instead rode Uber to SFO with Patrick, our first time using Uber. Our driver was Ken. Rain. It was fast, friendly, safe—an excellent experience ($65). I checked in with Virgin America. No problems, staff was friendly and efficient. Starbucks: I used my free birthday drink coupon to get a grande pumpkin spice latte. Relaxed in designer chairs in Virgin's lobby.
