SFO in five hours


We're spending two days and a night in San Francisco and I found it extremely difficult to choose which neighborhoods to explore there. But amazingly, this guy did it in five hours!

I think I'm going to break the rule of not wearing athletic shoes in the city. I have to wear the comfiest shoes I have because we're breezing through Golden Gate Bridge, Haight-Ashbury, Mission, Alamo Square, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf on day 1. Then on day 2, we'll be going to Alcatraz, North Beach, Telegraph Hill and Chinatown. Just looking at our itinerary makes me tired already! But I'm super excited to lose my heart (and our way too! but not too much, hehe) in San Francisco!

Off in five days! Yahoooo!

wow! SFO is a really nice city. Kayang kaya in one day actually hahaha. We did it in one day. Have you booked alcatraz tours? Kasi usually dapat book in advance. We weren't able to visit alcatraz :( but we were able to pass by it on our cruise.

Have a nice holiday! Don't forget to buy chocolates from ghirardhelli square. And also ride the tram to go around. You can just park your car somewhere (if you are renting) and then take the tram. Don't forget to drive along Lombard Street.

Yung ginawa ng bro in law ko ay nagrent sya ng bike then may mapa lang syang dala. Eto na siguro ang pinakamura na option. May exercise ka pa, hehe. Ako kasi sumakay ako sa cable car, which is nice naman pero sobrang bilis lang ng tour. Nakakabitin. Sulit yung boat ride going to Alcatraz and under Sanfo Bridge although mahal sya for me kasi GS peso-salaried employee ako nun e. Mwehehe. Favorite ko Palace of Fine Arts, ewan ko ba. I find it romantic :)

unpaid leave ito (cost-cutting sa company namin) so it was a matter of turning something supposedly bad to something wonderful!

Karen Ramos said...

grabe super pasyal pala talaga hahaha. A lot of themeparks and nature parks to choose from. Spare some cash for gambling in vegas!

punta kayo dun sa de Young Museum, it's a really nice place. tapos may parang whomping willow trees sa labas. haha! Tapos sa tabi non may Japanese Tea Garden. Ganda din. :-) You should also check out the Palace of Fine Arts. The neighborhood around that place is just lovely. Plus nakakatuwa maglakad dun kasi may movies na dun shinoot. hehe.
