Jogged from the hotel to McCully and back. Complimentary red delicious apple from the hotel lobby. Hotel room coffee. Ate leftovers from last night. Watched the sun rise and rested on the lanai. Shower. Finished packing. Checked out. Speedi shuttle picked me up at 10:45. We picked up three other parties before going to the airport. On the way I realized that I had forgotten my camera battery charger and called the hotel, thinking they might be able to mail it back to me. The driver overheard my call and offered to see if any other drivers could pick it up. There was enough time to wait for it, so I accepted. In the end, another driver delivered it to me at the airport, and both drivers' timing was perfect. While waiting I retrieved my boarding pass from a kiosk, so it was very little extra trouble. Thanks, Speedi Shuttle! On the flight home I was sufficiently warm with one of my newly purchased beach towels. I watched previews for Wolverine, The Butler, and Gravity, all of which I had not yet seen. We touched down in San Francisco, and while taxiing to the gate a gorgeous, large full moon appeared low on the horizon, and this view was a stunning end to a short but wonderful trip.
