Booking for Alcatraz must be done in advance as it is a popular tour so we booked 2 days ahead. If you are coming during a […]

This afternoon we took a walk up to Lombard St which has the distinction of being known as the Crookedest Street in the world.
The street is about a 10 minute walk from our hotel and the walk is mostly uphill. As we all know, some of the streets in San Francisco can be quite steep, still it was […]

As soon as we are packed and ready we head down to check-out and then make our way to the airport in […]
