Travel Day - Seattle to San Francisco

Travel day to our final destination on this amazing adventure, back to where it all started, San Francisco.

We got our Uber at 8.00am for our 10.30am flight out of Seattle. I have to say Ubers in Seattle whilst great are bloody expensive, about double to three times what we have paid in other cities. I looked it up and Seattle is the only city that make sure all Uber drivers including Uber eats are paid the minimum wage.

We have taken many Ubers on this trip and Dave was super happy that our Uber driver today talked the whole way, every other driver we have had never say anything even if we try to start conversations.

Flight was good and quick, all our Delta flights have been amazing! I even got to get a photo of the Golden Gate, Alcatraz and the Bay Bridge all in one photo from high above the clouds! Dream come try.

After landing and getting soaked waiting for our Uber we were at our hotel. We are staying at Powell Place which is up in the hills a little more away from Fisherman’s Wharf. I nearly lost my luggage getting out of the Uber as the hill is so steep my carryon with all Tommy’s presents nearly ended up down the bottom of a very long steep hill!

Unfortunately as Dave is still having trouble with his legs and not being able to walk for very long, this place isn’t the best for that though it is beautiful and full of charm with the cable car going passed all day. Hopefully with a bit more rest, he will be able to do some more walking over the next couple of days before we fly home.

After we settled in, I headed off to Trader Joe’s to get some food. Lucky I didn’t have to walk the really steep hills as I had 3 very full, very heavy bags to carry back.

Late afternoon now so we are just relaxing taking in the views ready for another day tomorrow.Read more
