Heading West!
Saturday morning, bright and early, I head to San Francisco! Big Sis and The Parental Units have a very short layover in Atlanta, so any flight delay on the first leg of the trip will have them missing our flight.
I’m going with the theory that I’ll probably be making the flight alone and just catch up with them later in the day. Alone time will give me the opportunity to scout local watering holes to see if anyone is going to be showing the football Sunday morning. West Ham Fan has offered to call a friend of his who can possibly help me out - I may just take him up on that! If it wasn’t the last game of the season I wouldn’t be as concerned to see the game, but it is and it all comes down to this game. In my defense, all the games are on at 7am there so I doubt we’ll be doing too much of anything right then! So if anyone knows where I might be able to watch the games in San Fran, we’re staying just off Union Square on Powell Street.
Whenever I mention the upcoming trip to people here, I seem to get different tips on what I should see. The unanimous referral is Fisherman’s Wharf. I’m dying to check out Alcatraz too, and I’m surprised that nobody has suggested that.
So Saturday morning, I’ll be oh so very happy. And Thursday morning, when I say my goodbyes, I’ll be oh so very sad. But before I focus on the sad, I’m going to focus on the family time and just have fun! ![]()

The Presideo, (I can’t spell it), the Bridge, The Wharf, the world’s windiest road, Alcatraz, Chinatown (which smells, and is dingy, but you should still go if not to remember Big Trouble in Little China)
