I was up at 5:03 am (before the wake up call AND the alarm)
We caught the 5:30 am shuttle to Terminal 1
Checked in with Air Canada pretty seamlessly.
Entered the line for security at 6:00 am and boy it was a long line!
Got thru security by 6:50 am. Sharon had a quick pat down. I was clean.
Quickly browsed for reading material in between ordering and eating breakfast.
Had breakfast (AND COFFEE) before going to gate 134 for a 7:55 am departure to San Francisco
Five hour flight to San Francisco.
Hot and Sunny (74 degrees celsius ... you do the conversion to celsius)
Took a taxi to our hotel (The Nob Hill Hotel)
Got there at 11:00 am (their time)
Our room wasn't ready so we checked our bags, got advice from the front desk clerk and then wandered for lunch (Chicken Pesto Crepes & salad)
Got a Cable Car pass ($21 for 3 days) otherwise every ride was $6
Took the California Line down the the Port of San Francisco. They have a clock there with a roman numeral 4 like IIII (Just like Grant Hall at Queen's University) What's with that?
Toured the piers, viewed the bay bridge, birds and walked the Escaradero Avenue.
Bought a single Large Coors Light at the local Cala-Store, checked in and tried to have a nap. (It's loud in San Francisco ... Hyde street anyway.)
Our Hotel is very rustic (interpret that accordingly) but it does have a very cool elevator that is over 100 years old. Neat !
Cable car along Hydy Line to Fisherman's Wharf. We kept walking and happened upon the most beautiful moon from Hyde and Greenwich. Check out the pic:
Had dinner at Capurro's San Francisco Fish House. Tom had Clam Chowder!
Walked the wharf. (very Touristy, kind of like Niagara Falls and Wonderland)
Cable car back to the hotel. (saw some furry critters while waiting for the cable car)
