I left my heart in Fat Sam's disco ... or was that San Francisco? Thus crooned Tony Bennett. I can certainly see why. SF is a very compact city by American standards and is extremely walkable (well apart from all those steep hills). I stayed in the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, surrounded by little su…

One of these days I will get a shot of the bridge without the fog covering the top. I swear I will. :) After leaving Hakone Gardens we headed on north to the Golden Gate Bridge.  We arrived there at nearly 2p.m.  The rain that we experienced in Saratoga was gone and now only a few clouds…

Three days in one of my favourite cities in the world

Well, i'm all packed and ready to get going! I leave for Quito tomorrow morning from San Francisco and i arrive Quito at night. My whole trip is going to last about half a year and i am pretty much circling the whole continent on a majorly tight budget. I am ready to experience a whole new world! I…

I was supposed to be taken to the airport by a friend of mine, so that poor Erin could sleep thru the night. That didn't happen. My driver never showed up, and sweet Erin got up at 3.30am to take me back to SanFran. She's the BEST!! I had booked my flight back to LAX with American Airlines, but wh…

On our way back to the mainland, there were delays upon delays. We were flying through Oahu where there had been a big storm and many flights had been cancelled or delayed. We spent hours at the airport in Kona. We arrived in Oahu thinking we were barely on time for our flight to San Francisco, but…

I went to San Francisco to go Ice Skating for Theresa's b-day.  We had sooooo much fun.  As we always do when we go ice skating.  Everyone always has their doubts about their skating skills.  I know I can skate, but everyone always fear of getting back on it .. even fo…

About a month ago I realized that of all the times I've been to San Francisco it has always been work related. So with the great $44.00 deal with Virgin America I decided I was just going to San Francisco with no agenda other than having fun.  With a little help from Priceline I grabbed a $50.…

Fabulous meet-up in San Francisco! Made some new friends and met a lot of great people!

 Well I am finally getting this Blog underway, after many false starts and a severe case of lazy-itus! Rather than a full detail of my entire journey, I'll cover the times with my fellow TB'ers and a few highlights when I was traveling on my own or this may never get finished! So I arrive…

Went to the city on Sunday to go shopping for shoes for John and eat at R&G Lounge for lunch. Weather was nice, John found his shoes and lunch was greeeaat!

Jacuzzi in the middle of golf course & right by the ocean.aahh...wish it would never end....

I just started my job in June and YAY...I got days off for the July 4th holiday.  So I headed north on an impromptu solo road trip to the Bay Area to visit my brother, to meet up with my cousin Mar who was visiting her friends, and to celebrate America's independence.  My cousin and I nee…

After walking through Muir Woods for a few hours we managed to finally venture on our way out to walk over the Golden Gate Bridge.  Stopping every 5 feet at Muir Woods to take a picture was something inevitable but worth it.  I know a tree is a tree but I loved them all so I took lots of …
