San Francisco's Street car

I love the San Francisco Street cars.

They do a great job keeping a piece of history as part of the transit system over there.

Expedia and Mr Toad fiasco in San Francisco

We bought our San Francisco trip via Expedia.ca and we also bought a city tour and Alcatraz tickets as part of the package. We are three people and placed an order for three peole but Expedia's supplier only delivered two Alcatraz tickets instead of the needed three tickets and tried to convince me to take two tickets even though they could see that we were three people.

They old me that they would refund me the tickets but when I asked for a receipt all they did was to right on my voucher that I refused the two tickets that they had for me.

I then called Expedia and the agent whi answered my call was unable to contact the vendor and I had to let the vendor and expedia talk with each other on my cell.

I will not be able to go to Alcatraz as tickets are sold out and that's because Expedia.ca and Mr Toad failed to deliver what I paid for.

The Expedia call centre agent was useless.

Landing in San Francisco

This plane was landing beside us in San Francisco. Pretty cool to see but felt a little to close. Picture taken with my iPhone.

San Francisco

We got to San Francisco yesterday and the plan is to spend 5 days here but you can easily spend 5 years in San Francisco and don't experience everything that this city has to offer.

We took a ciry tour yesterday in one of those double deck buses and it was great to see the city highlights as that gave us some ideas about what to do next.

The tour guide recommended The Blue Mermaid as a great place for Clam Chowder and we were very pleased with the recommendation.

We are staying at the Fisherman's Wharf Holiday Inn and the hotel is clean, comfortable and just a couple of blocks away to some of the city best attractions.
