You just can’t go to San Francisco without going to the Pier 39 area and Boudin’s restaurant for a sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder.  And window shopping is the next favorite thing to do in that area. Well we actually did the Pier 39 thing on Saturday afternoon before the meetup, but …

I set my alarm for 11 o'clock this morning..  and ended up waking up at 8:30am!!! Man.. what is wrong with me??  I layed in bed for a bit then went down and had my morning Starbucks. I love the fact that it's in the lobby..  I should really get on in my living room!!  I eventual…

This morning, I woke up at 11:30 A.M. and took a trek down to the California Street Cafe again for coffee to go with Eric. I'm starting to get a feel for the area and feeling comfortable. The lady behind the counter thought my husband, Eric was IRISH and loved his accent. (After living in America, …

The early morning came way too quickly and I found myself even more sad than when I left the NL after Amsterdam.  I really was hoping Brett could change his flight to a later time or perhaps he might accidentally miss it. :D  We hurried up, checked out, and headed off to SFO.  Not ev…

Where did the weekend go?  I woke up this morning feeling a little sad that everything went by so quickly - but it was still super fun!  I wish we could hold onto our weekends longer! Everyone was still asleep so I got up and took a stroll along the Embarcadero towards Pier 39 - the day …

Waking on Monday morning, and now being down to just me I considered my options of what to do and see for my final day in the city. I decided I was determined to see the Golden Gate bridge and so headed off on the cable car down to the piers, but the bridge was still hiding from me. I decided I'd h…

Great weekend enjoying San Fran and meeting TBers for a great time!!

I loved, loved, loved San Francisco! Hope you enjoy the blog :o)

To understand the layout of Golden Gate Park, you first have to understand Ocean Beach.  At the far western part of San Francisco, Ocean Beach is a rugged, cold stretch of sand dunes stretching from Daly City up to Sea Cliff.  Golden Gate Park ends at the beach and the park's design is cl…

On the 11th we had still not packed..... We had champagne and rushed around getting ready... I thought it would help me enjoy getting ready but instead I kept losing my glass and having to find it.  I had been sick all week and really put off everything until the last possible m…

All I can say is this was one of the greatest music events I've ever attended so far.  From the parade to the Out of this World After Party Lovefest 2008 was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!  For those that don't know Lovefest is the biggest Electronica/House/Trance party EVER to hit San Francisco. It's …

Breakfast was a sad occasion today. Saying goodbye to new friends and heading off in different directions all around the world. Those staying on the tour departed for Carmel on the bus shortly after breakfast, and the few like me, who stayed in the hotel for a couple of extra days and had fli…

OMG....we get on the road from Milpitas and try to time it to meet Julz headed into San Francisco. Trino is following behind us and of course traffic sucks royally headed in.  We take a different route I have never gone which is ok as it's the scenic route for Melanie but, it also takes you li…

San Francisco is a beautiful city and the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognized structures in the entire world. But every time we have been to this great city the local weather has been against us.  Never have we been able to see all of the bridge.  Today, as we left Saratoga…

We were hoping to take in a Baseball game while we were here, but through lack of planning missed it so we opted for the tour and it's well worth the $12.50. AT & T Park is easy to get to by the MUNI, we got there in good time for the tours, which are at 10.30 and 12.30, so had a walk round the…
