Super 8 San Francisco Airport Ca San Bruno

... at the hotel and after our negative expereince in a taxi in New York this guy was great.

After getting settled into our hotel room and finding out that we would get a breakfast (even though we hadn't paid for one) we decided to go and explore. Our hotel is quite close to fishermans whaft and the coast so we had a wander down and found some truley wonderful sights and I am not just talking about the fact that we had dinner at ...

... proof, so there are plans to build a complete replacement in the next 20 years, which is when according to seismologists, the next big earthquake is going to hit San Fran and take out the Marina area and other structures, neighbourhoods etc. It will be an amazing engineering feat, the bridge that is not the earthquake.

Monday, Rach and I chilled in the gardens of the Palace of Fine Arts with a picnic in the glorious June sun. Unusually for San Fran ...

... the Gourmet Ghetto, where we lunched at Chez Panisse, Alice Water's famous bistro, known for fresh, local, organic ingredients. I ordered a green bean, cauliflower, red pepper and walnut creation that was the best salad I've ever had. Typical, unorthodox John shocked our prissy, lunching lady neighbors into comment, by ordering espresso ice cream with caramel sauce and chocolate cherry waffers for his first and only course. What fun!

... and that’s how we found that Expedia works outside US too. 4 tickets for ~$1100.

Hi all, I decided to give this travel blog a trial run. I intended to cover my adventures last weekend at the Anderson Valley Beer fest (rain, beer, rain, more beer) and a weekend at Clark and Mitch's awesome house in Oakland, but misplaced my camera. Hopefully that isn't a sign of things to come... I have taken one last look and photo off of my deck at 91 Mullen Ave on the north face of bernal hill, south of cesar ...

... love. Swing dancing in the park has certainly been an added bonus for the first week! Julie and Debra were into it to and made up some stellar dance moves... Deb went the full hog and even gave it a go with a few of the leads that were there. Grand stuff! After the dancing we had all good intentions of heading to the Golden gate bridge and walking over it, but in the end the afternoon turned into a lazy one, and we stayed in watching old ...

... bad area, plus it had the annual Leather and Fetish Fair right next to it, so we did not really want to spend Vero's birthday there! We were very tempted to take photos though of that crowd! All leather except in the private parts... Well, that made us appreciate more the motel we found right in the center, in a very nice neighborhood (you guys notice my American spelling here?). We ended up paying 100 bucks a night, and learnt later that ...

Well i survived the 18 hour train journey from Portland to San Fran and am here alive and a bit cold filled but that won't stop me - oh no!! The train was surprisingly ok, the seats had a lot of room, reclined and big leg rests, really can't complain! I litterally got on pulled my jacket over my face and slept straight away for about an hour. Then consumed the hangover curing cool ranch doritos downed a lot of water, listened to some ...

... for people to commit Suicide in in USA. Over 1400 people have jumped off it and less than 25 have survived. Scary Stuff. Another amazing thing about the city is the weather is really temperamental, you can travel from one 'district' to the next and the weather can be completely different. This is because San Fran is right in the middle of the clouds where ...

... minibus to the airport and there were annoyingly not enough seats for everyone as we seemed to have a random lady joining us. Mick, who actually booked the coach, ends up being the person who has to stand. We pay $3 for a trolly and drag the bags to check in at Vegas airport. Ron, Annette, Sarah and Paul go missing and David worries that they haven't got through security. We put a few dollars into the machines at ...
