We won't need to get to, or from, the interntional terminal. We'll go through Immigration and Customs in Charlotte. Flight from there is domestic and USAirways lands at Terminal 1. We first thought of staying near SFO that night, but then felt it might be more interesting to be in downtown SF (which we've visited) if we want to go out for dinner, plus rental car is $70 cheaper in downtown than it is from the airport. Thanks for all thehints.
