adventures in san francisco

W didn't feel like eating in the hotel 'Chutney Grill' which looked at bit like one of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares. The hotel staff advised us to go to a shopping mall called Tanforan, where there was a 'Target', so off we went by taxi. Target turned out to be like Asda, and amazingly had Boots toiletries, which Caroline paid for with the BA debit card.  We were starving and went to a big 'restaurant brewhouse' called BJs, where we had a last glass of red wine and a big salad. I would have severely embarrassed the children when I asked to take the photo of the 3 men with lots of beer samples!
In the hotel we were really sleepy and were flat out by 8.30, only to be shocked awake by the phone at 10pm, when reception called to ask if they bring the lost case up. Still we slept quite well and took the shuttle to the airport.
On the flight we were separated, I was sat next to a very polite friendly and fit 19 year old trainee marine; he was interested in a pen-pal in England so if there's an email from Wilson Stophe please respond. I've tried to find him on facebook with no success, maybe he gave the crazy English woman a false name!! Another embarrassing moment from Mum when I asked him if had a photo on his facebook page showing his 6 pack!
