Day 1 Part 1: After a very relaxed start to the day, we headed for Sydney by train to catch our 5:55pm flight. Lots of changes to the procedures at the airport, including automated check in (which didn’t work so we got the express ‘assistance’ lane). After Lauren had to remove her shoes and I had a fully body scan we were through security. Time to relax before boarding. The plane left late but made up the time by the time we got to SF.
Day 1 Part 2: Our second Monday. We were met at SFO by Steve with his American flag, who then gave us the orientation tour of SF, including a video call to Grandpa as we drove the streets of San Fransisco, including the windy drive down Lombard Street. After checking in to our hotel, Pier 2620 at Fisherman’s Wharf, Steve continued the tour through the Presidio and on to the Golden Gate Bridge where Carol recreated a family photo that was taken with her Mum and Dad in November 1979.
Note the photo Lach is holding.
Saying farewell to Steve, we wandered Wharf 39 and surrounding areas for a while before finding a small restaurant/cafe for dinner and back to the room after a 34 hour ‘day’.
🙂 Have a gallivanting good, safe time catching the sights, sounds & sensations of your amazing vacay across da USA .
What a wonderful Christmas present to celebrate as a family : memories to last a lifetime !!
