Delta First Class JFK to Denver
Global Entry was our friend today as Mrs. SFO finally got a clean no-X receipt and we were out in no time. With Delta operating from Terminal 4, we were at gate a few minutes before the start of boarding.

The good news is we made the flight. The bad news: more trailer trash, this time midwest style. Definitely a Bose flight. Seems like Billy Bob wanted everyone to know how loud he could talk and impress his seat-mate, for 3 freaking hours. One of his pearls included how he can actually text people (including his mom) from his phone. I kid you not. Even the FA's were rolling their eyes.
Fashion, Billy Bob style.
With AA's catering demise, DL is now serving the "least worst" meals in the domestic skies. Today, a choice of ham and cheese on a baguette, or chicken parm salad.
Mrs. SFO had the ham & cheese which rated an "it's OK".
My chicken salad was pretty tasty and unlike AA and UA "chicken" meals, actually featured real chicken. Wow, what a concept.
And AA international First Class salt and pepper shakers.
The the always delicious Dancing Deer chocolate chip cookies.
For those that know MSP, the furthest gate from the runway is G21 which is exactly where we headed today. Naturally, our connecting gate was the complete opposite side of the terminal, at C2. Nevertheless, with the help of the air train/tram, we made the trek in 8 minutes and made our connection.

Refreshments
Finally, an uneventful flight and we arrived home on time.
Thanks all so much for following this report and for all of your comments.
Cape Town and the Cape Winelands are simply spectacular.
We enjoyed our trip immensely and cannot wait to return.
