Staybridge Suites San Bruno, Ca

... The views from the suites are supposed to be fantastic.<br><br>Things we plan to do in SF are a night tour to Alcatraz and the Exploratorium (a hands-on science museum).<br><br>I guess we'll go for a ride on a cable car, but apparently you can wait a long time to actually get on them, as every other tourist in SF is trying to do the same thing!<br><br>After four nights in SF, we drive to Yosemite National Park.

... watched a weird video about "safety" which really told us that if we do ANYTHING that we're going to be charged $25. Bianca and Krishna got the awkward small ATVs and the boys got the bigger ones. We headed out and ended up having a lot more fun than I had in Cancun. Bianca lead sometimes even though she had the tendency to not see tall dunes until after she jumped over them. She got stuck once and fell off once. The falling off part, she ...

... My first thought was that North Korea had finally lost it and I began to wonder what a tourist does in a situation like this. Naturally what you do is wait until the siren stops and then listen to the announcement that "this is a test of the outdoor warning system". <br><br>By the time I walked onto Baker Beach any kind of weather resembling a nice day on the beach was gone. The clouds had moved in, the wind had picked up, the temperature had dropped ...

... ago the earliest time that I could make the booking. The place is sold out most nights well in advance. It has been rated no.1 restaurant out of 3,030 in San Francisco for some time. We had a table booked for 8pm so arrived at 7.30 expecting to sit at the bar to wait but we were taken straight to our table. The menu is extensive. You can buy the Taster menu or choose 3, 4 or 5 courses. We started with a glass of ...

... figure. But with regard to the weirdness... the first weird thing that I've mentioned several times before is how empty the restaurant was. 50 tables were fully set up, and there were at most 5 tables occupied during the night. It was like a ghost town. The second thing was the music -- smooth jazz. There's something so wrong about being in Bali and listening to smooth jazz, but I digress. The third was the ...

... properly at boarding gate. This flight to Hong Kong is a long haul flight so it is two meals and a snack while en-route. The first meal was either Penne marinara or meatloaf and potato mash and this is a sign that if you are in economy then you are going to be treated like ****. Also the marinara was actually a tomato base and according to my seating companion was cold and horrible and I can state the meatloaf was also ...

... gate bridge and below us was a dock where a few boats were and hundreds of seals were laying on the dock sunning themselves, it was an amazing sight if you can believe the photos. We walked around san fran for abit more and then went back to the hotel so nan could relax. Mum and i then went to lombard st, and walking up the hill to get to that was pure torture...it was harder than any hill i've walked up before. But we finally got up there and took some ...

... Bailey was in an aisle seat. The man next to me, by the window, had obviously flown a lot because he kept the shade shut most of the time. However, he was nice enough to open it some when he noticed that I kept trying to look out of the window of the row behind us. I saw some snow covered mountains that I guessed were the Sierras. We watched a movie DEFINITELY, MAYBE. It wasn't very good, by the way, but it only cost $1.00 to get the headphones ...

... reis was waardoor ik niet kon kiezen). Verder hebben we zee-honden gezien. Keurig liggend op de door mensen aangelegde -daarvoor bedoelde- steigers in het water. (naast een visrestaurant met "uitzicht" vanuit het terras). De vraag is of die dieren daar dus uit zichzelf naar toe zijn gekomen, of dat ze een handje geholpen worden door de eigenaren van het visrestaurant. Mijn eerste indruk van San Francisco: "Is het wel echt, zijn ...

... feet being completely ruined, the view was beautiful though and the weather perfect. Today was spent in the city and doing a bit of shopping! Anyway, that's about time up for me, in summary I'm having a real hoot of a time. It's taken me ages to write this and whilst I've been tapping away (in a funky little lounge bar) Grant has been indulging in a bit of alcohol at the bar and I suspect that he's possibly getting either very drunk, hungry and/or sick of waiting for me.
