Don't you love travel

Finally............ left at 1.00 a day late- have just got to San Fran and made ourselves some brunch. Could not eat one meal on the plane as it was all burnt at the bottom, raw in the middle absolutely Disgusting. Don't fly United.

Staying at a condo right opposite the Giants stadium Just off to walk down to Fishermans wharf - early dinner and then I think we will sleep............big day tomorrow......cable car..........park..........relax and then off early the next day. Problem is that Denver airport is closed at the moment because of severe snowstorms.........Don't you love travel.

Whoo hoo San Fran. 34 years since we were last here. I had forgotten how laid back and friendly people are here and the bookshops!!! Wow Wow and wow . No more crappy Angus and Robertsons.............big, deep leather lounges to gently browse into a book listening to fab music, strong cappucinnos and its cold outside .....how good does it get!!

Walked from our condo to Fishermans (persons) walk via the enclosed market place with great organic farmers market, cheeses and a rather nice wine bar with yummy fresh breads, cheeses and meat platters .........yum.
Caleb in Paris ...........suffering the FRENCH 'pardon, je ne comprend pas' syndrome plus the huge cost of everything in Europe...............missing Germany., Switzerland and our " home stay daughter Karin" He's off back to England and then New york ...........looking forward to meeting up in Gunnison.
