    Qantas Flight from Sydney to San Francis

    3. Juni 2023 in Australien ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Our first long haul trip flying Business Class did not disappoint. The service by the Qantas staff was amazing, and the space was so comfortable. The wash pack came in a nice reusable case, and contained all you’d need, earplugs, eye mask, toothbrush and tooth paste, lip
    Balm, face cream and socks.
    There were charging points for phone and a power point. The TV screen was huge! And the surround had heaps of storage for my iPad, phone, kindle and more. They supplied headphones - but I used my own Bose noise cancellation ones.
    The provided PJs came in one size - L / XL - which was cosy!!
    The ultimate was the lie-down seat, padded seat cover, pillow & blanket. I managed around 5 hours sleep which was fantastic.    Weiterlesen

    San Francisco Arrival

    3. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    After landing an hour early we were then held up queuing to get through Border Control for an hour. But once we were through it was quick to grab an Uber and head to Union Square to our Hotel, Chancellor Hotel.
    The biggest shock was how cold it was. I thought summer in California would be hot, but that’s certainly not the case in SF. The wind chill made it feel freezing!
    luckily the hotel was warm, with a great soft bed and pillows.
    After freshening up we headed out and found Uncle Vito’s pizzeria where I had the best Calzone. Jasin had clam fettuccine which he polished off.
    Bed by midnight - the end of a very long day.    Weiterlesen

    Breakfast Day 2 San Francisco

    4. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    After an early wake up we headed out and found an amazing diner that we had seen last night.
    There was a great choice of food from waffles, pancakes to eggs - cooked a million different ways.
    We both opted for the waffles, with maple syrup, strawberries and blueberries.
    The diner itself was definitely a throw back to the 1950s, with booths, pinball machines and heaps more.    Weiterlesen

    Ferry to Muir Woods

    4. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Then the walk back and the ferry ride over to Larkspur. That’s where we met a lovely couple - Justin and Kelly from Ohio. After a crazy bus ride we arrived at Muir Woods with the enormous Sequoias Red Gums. Jasin was in his element hugging them !!
    Once back to the hotel we didn’t want to brave the crazy freezing wind, and so we headed the the restaurant next door - and finally jet lag caught up and we crashed out by 10pm.    Weiterlesen

    Pets and Flowers

    5. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    There are certainly a lot of very interesting people here in San Francisco- especially people with their pets. Not only were people walking dogs, but also transporting them on bikes and in backpacks!
    This month is Gay Pride month, and San Francisco is definitely the Gay Capital of the USA - it’s lovely to see everyone being so inclusive.
    And there were flowers and Gay Pride 🏳️‍🌈 flags everywhere- it was so colourful.    Weiterlesen

    Food at The Bay

    5. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    The food here in San Francisco has been amazing! After our Alcatraz trip we headed off the Fisherman’s Wharf and Jasin enjoyed a famous Clam Chowder whilst overlooking the Bay with Sea-lions basking in the sun, and Alcatraz in the distance. We got chatting with a great guy on the next table who was eating a huge crab. He gave us lots of hints and tips for when we visit NYC - and told us he was an Opera Singer from DC!
    After lunch we walked off the meal - until we stumbled across Ghiradelli - probably the best I’ve cream and chocolate shop ever 😊. So I managed to squeeze in a chocolate cone, whilst Jasin had strawberry and pistachio ❤️    Weiterlesen

    Riding the Cable Car

    5. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    A visit to San Fran isn’t complete without a trip in the cable car.
    We bought one way tickets and hopped on at the Bay Area. There was a bit of a wait, but we got chatting to some fellow Aussies and then got prime position at the front of the car.
    It was a fairly hairy ride up and down the hills but we loved it!    Weiterlesen

    San Fran to Calgary

    6. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    We woke up to a rainy San Francisco- so it was the perfect day to pack up and leave. After a crazy Uber drive to the airport we checked in to United 🇺🇸 for the first of two flights. The United lounge was so much better than Qantas in Sydney - a much more chilled atmosphere there. The flight to Vancouver was on a smallish plane - and was pretty basic - but we arrived on time albeit through some turbulence ! After a quick meal at the airport we jumped on Air Canada 🇨🇦 Flight which was quick but good.
    The views out over the mountains were amazing and we can’t wait to go exploring today.
    Ray, and old friend fro the UK picked us up from the airport and he and his lovely wife Bec are putting us up for our time here in Calgary.    Weiterlesen

    Banff and Beyond

    7. Juni 2023 in Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Today Ray took us to see all the amazing mountains and lakes near Calgary.
    Banff was amazing - with snow capped mountains and beautiful clear water.
    After lunch at the Rose and Crown in Banff Main Street Lake Louise which was busy but gorgeous. Then we took the Bow Valley back road to Canmore, a lovely town about 40 minutes outside Calgary. Before heading home for a rest!Weiterlesen

    Calgary Home and City

    9. Juni 2023 in Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Today was a little more low key. Started with an amazing breakfast pie, then a visit out to Ray’s police station and the police youth visitor centre. Ray and I posed for a photo under the police sign over 30 years since we joined Wilts Pol.
    In the afternoon we headed Downtown for a walk about followed by a delicious dinner at the Calgary Tower Restaurant - which slowly turned while we ate.    Weiterlesen

    Tour Guide Bec - Dennys and Mall

    10. Juni 2023 in Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Ray and the kids headed off to Salt Lake City, Utah on a 12.5 hour road trip to watch a concert. So Bec took over the reins and did not disappoint!!
    After a new nails, where I chatted to a few locals, and my lovely Vietnamese nail lady.
    After picking Jasin up we went to my favourite Diner, Dennys. And wow I just love that place!!
    After our fill we headed off to the farmers markets, and then off to a huge shopping mall, full of stuffed bears and moose. Quite Surreal.
    Back home for a delicious home cooked dinner before an early night and a 2:45am alarm.    Weiterlesen

    Minneapolis to Atlanta

    11. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    A brisk (long) walk to the gate at the opposite end of the terminal and we were straight on the next Delta plane. Again we left on time and enjoyed another movie and free wifi. No food only the smallest packet of chips and a coffee. We landed early - only to find out our next flight is running over an hour late - bonus because we get to eat!Weiterlesen

    Atlanta Airport arrival

    11. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    This airport is CRAZY busy. I googled and found out it’s the busiest airport in the USA and possibly in the world.
    We had to take a train from the domestic terminal to the international terminal. Luckily because our flight has been delayed we get a chance to eat! Currently queuing outside TGI Fridays - hope we get in soon!Weiterlesen

    Flight to Quito Ecuador

    11. Juni 2023 in den USA ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    So after a delay of 1.5 hours we board our replacement plane - which I have to say had just lost Delta it’s 5 start rating with me. This plane had to be deep cleaned and they clearly pulled it out of an antique store. This was the most uncomfortable 5 hour flight I have taken.
    The movie screen at the back of the seat was yellow where it was so old and smaller than my phone. But the real kicker was that I was so excited to have a window seat - but this one had NO WINDOW - Row 22 on this relic has no windows at all and very very little leg room. To top it all the plane was super noisy - thank good was for noise cancelling headphones!    Weiterlesen

    Atlanta to Quito Ecuador

    11. Juni 2023 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    So we never made it to TGI as it was too busy. I ended up with a double expresso and a bbq chicken crepe.
    The plane was delayed for 1.5 hours due to equipment failure- and quite clearly they scrambled around and found some old relic plane that required ‘deep cleaning’ before we could board.
    The gangway was so so thin, and the screens on the back of the seats were smaller than my iPhone! It was a very cramped and noisy 5 hour flight, but we made it!! I didn’t even have a window in my window seat!
    Gabby and her husband Jonny, their daughter and dog, Cyrus picked us up from the airport and took us to our hotel. We finally arrived at 11.00pm - what a huge day!!    Weiterlesen

    Ecuador arrival

    11. Juni 2023 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    After a long uncomfortable flight we landed in Quito. We got through customs pretty quickly, and we’re grateful that our bags made it all the way through from Canada.
    Gabby from Ecuador family tours picked us up with her husband Jonny driving, her 14 year old daughter, Jade, in the back and the Groodle, Cyrus with us too.
    After a 45 minute drive we arrived at our hotel - Reina Isabela - room 403. The room was huge and comfortable- and eventually at midnight we made it to bed. 22 hours of travelling was certainly exhausting!    Weiterlesen
