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.

Finally..... San Francisco!
After travelling through 2 times zones in 2 days, and reliving 9/10/11 again, we have arrived in San Francisco. Note to self: pick better flight connections for long haul flights! :)

We got in safely to San Francisco on a nice sunny afternoon. After checking into the Hotel Beresford, we wondered down to Union Square, then decided to head down to Pier 39 for lunch. It was Fleet Week, with an airshow on today, so we joined the crowds down at Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf to watch the aerial acrobatics and fighter jets flying by. Crowds of people lined up at the jetty and wharfs for the festivities.

We followed this by an interesting cable car ride back to Union square - and I mean interesting, I was right up the front, hanging off the side rails going up and down San Franciso hills! Had my camera doing a video throughout the 15 min ride, will post the video later when we have better internet.
