4. Don't panic.
Given that getting home before tomorrow night at 11pm involved running through two separate terminals, cutting into the "family and medical liquids" security line, and a $90 taxi ride from SFO to OAK,* I think that I am here at all counts as my good luck for the day.
*I got in the taxi at 12:10 to make a 1:05 flight. My driver earned that $15 tip.

(and you can take as much luggage with you as you can carry, which is a lot more than the usual 15-20kg limit). But then I'm lucky enough to live in a comparatively tiny country!
