Sn. Francisco City Tour


Trip Date: Sept. 19, 2010 - SFO, CA

After finding a parking spot around the area, we signed up for the San Francisco City Tour taking the All Loops Package which include a visit to Golden Gate Bridge, and a visit to Sausalito.

We actually thought we can complete the tour since it is unlimited hop-on, hop-off from the bus for 48 hours and we can make our own itinerary whichever comes first, the way we like it.
There are 27 bus stops on the 4 diverse loops, so we just carried our loop maps with us. ride the bus and from there, we made our itinerary.

After touring the SFO downtown area, we hopped off the bus and strolled up Lombard Street. I almost gave up going up further on the hilly street...stopped 5 times to rest and catch my breaths due to the sharp incline.
But after reaching the top, it was all worth it, seeing the most crooked street in the whole wide world! Whew!


Going back to where the bus stop was tough...we got lost, and I think we were walking endlessly, and felt it was like we walked 3 miles going back and forth!
By the time we reached the place, we realized we could no longer make it to the 3rd loop.
We then proceeded to go on with the rest of the 2nd loop which included the visit to Sausalito.

Sausalito is a charming coastal town that has breathtaking views of the bay. I couldn't seem to find my photo in here but I'll update it in this post once I see it, :)).

The entire day was exhausting but we didn't mind. We enjoyed the tour.
There's always the "next times" of going back to SFO and continue to visit those places we missed during our tour.

Be safe & Sober During Holiday Season

It is too early to post this one, but I believe it will still be of help to those who are party goers and to those who love group hangouts with friends as well.

Some occasions, which includes the holiday season means a lot of festive activities that includes drinking...and driving! But you can help protect yourself by being sober, and here's what you must do:

  • Stay away from drunk drivers, and report them to local law enforcement (when safely possible). If you see one, note the car's make, model and color; license plate number and the direction in which it was traveling.
  • Always wear your seat belt, and check and ensure the kids are properly secured on the child safety seats.
  • Offer non alcoholic drinks to your guests if you are hosting a party. Take note that you can be held legally liable if you serve alcohol to someone who becomes involved in an accident.
  • And of course, if you drink, never drive! Don't ride in a car with an intoxicated driver as well!

Fisherman's Wharf

September 18, 2010 - San Francisco, CA

Who isn't familiar when it comes to Fisherman's Wharf? It's the popular destination of many visiting SFO and famous waterfront community in SFO (San Francisco).

We tried our luck with our GPS, went there and the place was so crowded.
Since it was weekend, finding a parking spot is tough! We finally able to get one after going around the place for 10 minutes.

We though of seeing Alcatraz Island, and we saw a ticketing booth close to Pier 39 to get a ticket for the ferry boat. It's a small trip adventure that has something to look forward to, so off we went.

Our trip was called "Alcatraz Tour Cruise" (Escape From The Rock) and we boarded the Blue Gold Fleet at Pier 39.
The tour includes the history of the island, the facts about the Golden Gate Bridge and other facts about the bay.
We had a closer look of the Golden Gate as we went under it. It was foggy that day, so the entire bridge wasn't really clear.

We thought the tour would allow us to go down the Alcatraz Island, but it was only a cruise.

Oh, and we also saw a group of sea lions hanging out close to the pier at Pier 39. There were tons of them, and no wonder why that "fishy" smell on that area seems to be strong!

Luxury Hotel Deals in San Francisco

Later last year (September), we were in San Francisco for a pleasure visit. And by the way, if you are planning to do a trip there, one day won't be enough if you want to visit the entire city as there are many things to do and enjoy in San Francisco.

One important thing you have to do as well is to find san francisco hotel deals, particularly if you plan to stay there longer. Getting a hotel in San Francisco at a regular rate can be very expensive, so you do not want to spoil the fun of your vacation by ending up overspending, do you?

Have you heard about Off & Away auction? You can check it on their site about the promo. Who knows? You will be the next lucky one to win the auction and you will get a special room with an extra spa as a relaxation ;). Take note that there are many hotels around the area as well participating in the auction aside from San Francisco hotels that are selected. But regardless of where the hotel is, you will still enjoy the same vacation all throughout.
But of course, just don't forget checking the upcoming auctions for San Francisco luxury hotel deals.

Ahh! I miss San Francisco! The last time we visited Fisherman's Wharf, it was only a short trip of pleasure since we were coming from Oakland where my husband had his business trip there. It was a 40-minute drive going to the wharf and that time the hotel we stayed at in Oakland was paid by the company where my husband was working.

It's good to go back in San Francisco someday, and I am bookmarking these deals. I am aiming to win the auction for SFO! :))

The Gamble House (A Visit)

September 11, 2010 - Pasadena, CA

Call us unlucky this day when we went to see The Gamble House.

It was around 5pm when we reached the place, and so we were not able to catch up the last tour in the house. So, I can't share that much about the house except for a few.

The Gamble House is an internationally recognized masterpiece of the turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts Movements in America.
It is in this house where you can see the most complete and the original examples of the work of the architects Charles & Henry Greene, built for David & Mary Gamble of The Procter and Gamble Company.

The Greene brothers' works made a strong impact on the development of 20th century American architecture.

It's one of the best place to go visit if you have high appreciation of fine historic architecture.

Taxis For Hire

If you are a frequent traveler from airport to airport, it helps to get your mind at peace when you know there are licensed and insured transport groups that are available 24/7 at the airport.

If you are traveling to Orlando, FL, beware of some taxi companies that may charge you a 20% mandatory driver gratuity fee as a cover up for the attractive low estimate. Most of them also require you to prepay for reservations and charge you for any plan change. You see, those are all trip hassles and you may end up overspending rather than saving.

So, if you have plans of acquiring a transportation going to Orlando International Airport, just check MCO Airport Transportation and see how can they help you. This should be an ideal transport company to deal with if you are traveling with a large group and you need transportations from MCO Airport.

You can also find them available when you reach destination at Sanford International Airport. Good thing with Orlando Sanford Transportation is that you can have various options for your rides in going to your final destination such as your hotels, parks or resorts.
Availabilities of shuttles, buses, cabs or rentals are always there, so name your choice.

Of course, whatever the purpose of your trip would also depend on what kind of transportation you need. Shuttles are ideal for groups that are not in a hurry. But before considering one, just check if your hotel is within their routes.
Otherwise, you can either choose a bus or a cab if you have a particular or fixed itinerary or scheduled tours that you need to catch up.
Others would feel more convenient on renting a car as another option, particularly if you need a lot of driving in the area.

Taxi4Hire Transportation in Orlando, FL has no hidden charges. The exact quote you get from them is all you get to pay and that's it.

By the way, if you are going to Port Canaveral, there's also a Port Canaveral Transportation available for you. Whether you're arriving from Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Sanford International Airport (SFB), there's always an available seating for you. You can start requesting your quote online or by phone at the links given for rates and types of transport you need.

Late Visit at Cousin's Home


September 10, 2010 - Glendale, California

I haven't actually seen this cousin of mine since she was born, so it was kinda exciting seeing her for the first time!

And to think about it, now, she has 3 wonderful kids (all girls) and it was so overwhelming meeting the kids as well who were so much fun to be with!

It was such a nice feeling meeting them all for the first time, and a nice bonding that's worth sharing as well ;). I and hubby had great time spending our weekend vacation with them.



High Quality Patio Furnitures

High quality made products don't always mean expensive, and expensive products don't always mean high quality made. Take for example the case of patio furnitures where many customers sometimes would not rely on the product because it's cheap! Wrong!
Better yet check the adirondack chairs at Terra Bound Solutions online and see it for yourself. With that, you know what I'm talking about, right?
Considering the fact that adirondack chairs are popular as outdoor furnitures, many customers prefer having them. Well, how would you like to have a high quality made yet at a cheaper price chairs like that?!

If you have wider space for your outdoor needs, it would be nice to make some unique accents by also adding some picnic tables, too. This must be a good deal for those who need commercial picnic tables for their business as well.

It's also here where you can get to choose any commercial and residential park benches in various sizes, styles and materials, and yet with premium quality outdoor site furnishings. Check the items you might be needing. You can even get a lot of savings just in case you order them online.

Did You Know?

...that in New York, a cab can be difficult to find between the hours of 4:30 and 5:30AM and 4:30 and 5:30PM?
It's because those are the times when many drivers change shifts or go off duty. So, if you're a cab dependent or you don't drive, avoid looking for them during those times.

Weatherproofing the Place

Guest post written by Todd Felton

Towards the end of last week, it is really incredible how much snow we got. I looked out the window one morning and the neighborhood was a winter wonderland. While my kids got off for school, I wasn't so lucky and I had to go out in the inclement weather and go about business as usual. I am definitely glad that I purchased some new snow tires for my truck. They really gave me a peace of mind. Fortunately, my commutes to work have been just fine, despite the weather. I suppose I should come to expect these conditions now that I live in the north eastern U.S.

At the end of this upcoming work week, I am going to have to do a little more to weatherproof my house, as opposed to just my car. My wife's been telling me that the dining room windows are a little drafty. To be perfectly honest, I haven't been too enthusiastic about looking at the problem myself so I think I'm going to look at options at Homeproimprovement.com. I can't wait until it's time to prepare for spring or summer!
