This blog was created for all our family and friends who want to follow us on our travels.

Our next trip is to the USA - and we'll be doing a 5 week trip to: (in order): San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle/Redmond, Washington D.C., Tampa, FL, New York City, Phoenix, AZ and Honolulu, Hawaii.

As you can see, that's a fair number of places to travel to in five weeks!

And of course, since Yumi and I are budding photographers - we'll be taking lots of photos along the way - and the best place to read about our travels, and see our photos - is right here.

Arrived in San Francisco safely

Arrived safely in SF yesterday, managed to get some sleep on the flight so after a quick shower and change of clothes we had a quick wander around Union Square and then thought we'd catch a tram to Pier 39 and have a nice lunch.  Nice idea, but we soon discovered that Fleet Week was on and the place was packed full of people wanting to see the Blue Angels doing their flight stunts.  
We bravely waded through the crowds though and managed to have a nice seafood lunch on Pier 39 and then wandered up along Fishermans Wharf and after an hour long wait managed to catch a cable car ride back to our hotel.  The cable car ride was fun, the big black "grip man" on the cable car kept a running commentary that was worth the $6 fare alone.  We also took spots hanging on the side of the cable car - Yumi perched right at the front and me right behind her hanging onto the poles on the side and keeping an eye out for traffic!  Yumi got a video of the trip and I'll try and upload it when I get a chance.
We had a good sleep when we got back to our hotel that night!
