Here are some photos from the grand SF meetup! I felt like I had taken lots of photos, but as it turns out I didn't get nearly as many as I wanted to. So I look forward to seeing pics from others too~ Enjoy!

This is our last day here before we fly back to Los Angeles. But today, I made sure I was going to do everything I left out on my list of things to do. First, clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. We headed off to the wharf around 9AM, where we knew that it wasn't going to be crowded... espe…

I flew to San Francsico for a weekend in mid-May 2009.  The flight was very early on a Friday morning where everyone is bleary eyed, grumpy and anxious for that first cup of coffee.  :) With the time change, I got into San Francisco early, dropped off my bag and headed straight to buy a …

My cousin (Julz) and I arrived fashionably late around 6:30 to a raucous room full of TravBuddies engaging in lively and loud conversation.  Almost immediately I spotted Ekua (worldcitizen) and gave a quick 'hello' from across the room.  We surveyed the scene for a few moments b…

Before leaving for San Francisco, I had a pretty extensive list of things I wanted to see and places I wanted to go eat. I happy to say that I made it to all but a few, and it was all worth it. Each day was a very different type of exploration and I would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone.M…

Being my very first trip to a American City, filled me with excitment & nerves, but also a bit of dread. With the credict crunch, the English pound to the Dollor left my with very little dollor to the english I had got converted. Hence, I had to pre-plan how much I could spend daily &…

First day of the year 2008, we wake up and start to get ready to pack up and check out.  I didn't feel all too great but I went along with everyone to at least have brunch. We took a drive and made our way over to Cheesecake Factory.  We're driving , we're driving, driving around looking…

Board a flight in SFO in the afternoon. We checked in online just before leaving home, which was a good thing, because at the airport, the line for checking in was very slow, and the quick bag drop off line for online checked in passengers were much faster. We had more than a couple of hours to spa…

Per my normal tradition, I had to squeeze one meal in at Hog Island Oyster Depot.  I waited for the opening at the nearby bookstore and was tempted to purchase 10 books but alas, no more room in my bag!  I will have to order the books on amazon when I get home.  10 minutes before ope…

Cirque du Soleil ~ Kooza finally!!! We have been waiting for this day to come for so long, well.. actually ever since we first purchased the tickets.  I was so happy that I joined the bandwagon of those who were willing to go see Kooza here in SF for the price that we paid.  Just a few of…

The Haight-Ashbury's elaborately detailed, 19th-century multi-story wooden houses became a haven for hippies during the 1960s, due to the availability of cheap rooms and vacant properties for rent or sale in the district; property values had dropped in part because of the proposed freeway. The bohe…

Oh my what a trip. I was plesantly suprised. People were SO friendly ! Just came right up and talked to me ! The Gayparade was a lot of fun. And the nature was very nice !! I got a to meet some of the sweetest people so i can only look back on my trip with love <3

I have to say in my travels, so far of the us, San Fran has the best to offer for my taste. It has the all the things that a great city should have. You can walk (almost) anywhere, the public transit is wonderful. The people were friendly and I never met anyone who was rude or unwilling t…

Today was sort of our free day and my goal was to go to the Ferry Building (looove this place!) and get the grilled cheese sandwich at Hog Island Oyster Co. before flying back to LA.  We got to the Ferry Building sort of early so we strolled about the nearby arts and crafts fair.  Then we…

It was nice to touch down in San Francisco, Califirnia for 3 hours ... as we ascending it was affecting me like never before ... I'm not nervous of flying but for some reason the flight didn't agree with my system and I had to get up and walk about ... so knowing we didn't have a direct flight was …
