Off to San Francisco

Finally we got away from the tourist trap of Honolulu this morning. It had been a good stay, but we were done.

The five hour flight to San Francisco was uneventful, which in light of recent events, is a good thing. United Airlines do have an extra bit of leg room in the Boeing 767 which makes all the difference on the longer flights.

We arrived safe & sound and on time in San Francisco around 3.30pm. (although the driver of the shuttle van nearly made us sick with his on & off accelerator technique that made the ride more like a rocking ship than a car.
The hotel is nice & has the Frisco feel to it. It's in a good position & has a nice view (below).
We already purchased a week Tram pass ($24 US) that should sort out our transport for the 5 days we are here. We rode the Cable Car up Powell Street straight after purchasing the tickets. It's very cool!

More on that tomorrow with some photos after we have done some exploring & taken some pics.
This place has a really good vibe compared with Hawaii, but you do have to be a bit careful with beggars & potential for pick pockets & bag snatchers. It's not too bad, but you just have to be careful.
