Anchorage to San Francisco

After hardly any sleep, I got up at 2.30am and into the Uber at 3.15am for the ride to the airport.

That’s the end of the Alaska leg of the trip but on to California.

The plane took off on time from anchorage and arrived in Seattle on time. We had a little wait for our connection to San Francisco. It’s strange being in a busy place again, with shops and facilities. Might take some getting used to 😂.

The flight to San Fran was also on time and we landed by 2pm. We got our bags quickly and then caught the BART to Powell station. We headed straight up Powell for about 10/15 minutes pulling the suitcases and we were at the Grant Hotel.

We checked in and realised that we had lost our inflatable pillows somewhere along the way. We decided to walk to REI to buy some new ones. This was an interesting walk as it took us around the edge of Tenderloin and through some other dodgy areas.

Fortunately we made it in one piece and bought what we needed. We took a different route back to to the hotel and it was mostly a bit safer.

After a quick wash, we headed out for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory in Macy’s. We then returned to the hotel after a long day.Read more
