We head down the road at about 10am and not all the stall holders have set up as yet. After strolling down through the rides and stalls we go up the […]

After reading some of the reviews on the internet about Tijuana we have decided against going there today and instead we went into the Gas Lamp district to have a look around.
Now that we have worked out the bus system, we caught the No. 1 bus right across the road from the hotel and this […]

Breakfast is provided by the Best Western Hotel so we were up early to make the most of this before heading out to take a look around. The Best Western Lamplighter Inn & Suites is in a good position if you have a car, which of course we don’t. So if you are like us and are relying […]

We are up early today so that we can fit in our last buffet breakfast before heading to the airport. Played a last round at the Wheel of Fortune but lost once more. Sad really as we have been having such a great winning run on this machine.
Our flight to San Diego is with US […]

Tonight was an absolutely awesome experience, we have just arrived back at the hotel after seeing Elton John at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Our seats were on the second mezzanine, in the middle, three rows back (row C seats 409/410) but the theatre is built in such a way that everyone has a fantastic view. […]

While we were in San Francisco we decided to stay at Holiday Inn Express - Fishermans Wharf. (This hotel is not to be confused with the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites - Fisherman’s Wharf which is right next door.)
We actually got a great deal through Hotwire which included return airfares from Las Vegas and 5 […]

After arriving back at the pier we walked up Jefferson and had lunch at Johnny Rocket. Just love eating at this diner.
Then it was back to the hotel before heading off to Hyde St to catch the cable car. The weather became very overcast and we had just purchased a 3 day ticket for $18.00 […]
