Windy SFO

Very windy in San Francisco today. Had layover in SFO from SEA to SAN. Was so windy that plane shook while we were parked at gate waiting for jet way (and of course it took over 10 min. for someone to bring jet way to plane). Pilot said winds were gusting to 35 mph. The amazing thing is there were no delays at the airport (in fact, flight was early) At any other big airport that kind of wind would create big delays and this at an airport where even the daily occurrence of low clouds creates delays. So pleasant surprise.
Lots of action at that time of the day. Lufthansa 380 (my 1st sighting) was parked in Int'l terminal and from United lounge I saw SQ Triple bird taking off as well as an Air Berlin A330 landing (flights were taking off to North so you could see lot's of action from the lounge). Plus there was a Turkish A330 and Qatar plane at East side of Airport. I do not think either airline fly's to SFO (unless cargo).
As I walked thru Terminal 3 I stopped at 3 different Ghiradelli shops hoping to get a sample. I am either flying thru SFO too much (and they recognize me) or they called ahead to warn of my arrival because in each store they wouldn't give me a sample!! Wow!! That's Embarrassing!! I even told one woman my wife asked me to get a sample - to no avail.
Seems UAL still has some issues with integrating with CO. Flight was on 737-800 with Continental crew. We returned to gate because pilot was not sure if they loaded correct animals underneath (but with delay I was able to watch 3 episodes of Seinfeld and 1 of 30 Rock. Been a while since I saw either). And when we landed in SAN we parked at Terminal 2 instead of Terminal 1 (old Continental flights to IAH and EWR leave from T-2) But SFO flights leave from T-1. So can be confusing. But all in all good flights
