Our Trip So Far updated page 4
Our weekend in Dublin
Spending time with friends who own the villa across the street but we rarely meet up Enjoying the views over a very wild wet coast from there home on the coast and a wind swept walk along the beach with there Irish Terriers and Wolf Hounds Amazing food and meeting the girls boyfriends they were all very little girls the first time we met San Francisco amazing We couldn’t have picked a better location for us in Nob Hill we walked over 40 miles in 3 days and cycled the golden gate gate bridge explored china Town not just the tourist bit had an amazing meal in a tiny mom and pop restaurant Alcatraz Mind blowing for us both me and don’t laugh I knew Around 70 families lived on the Island but didn’t appreciate the community or the gardens for me the most interesting bit DH how bleak an existence it must have been and we visited on Avery calm day and the currents were fierce if you looked Weather perfect Hawaii Can’t fault a Hawaiian airlines even in economy plenty food soft drinks and coffee and for a DH great leg room We are in a condo not our first choice but the beache house we booked was sold and new owners not renting It’s fine but small but better equipment than some we’ve stayed in in a Florida We’ve walked or used the hire bikes that are everywhere you put your money in pick up the bike and basically dump it at your destination or park it and use it to get back to pick up point Our oddest experience ( yes I’m sad I cook on holiday ) Walmart sells no fresh meat Target a very very limited range you can easily spot the tourist looking for the meat / fish counter The people are so friendly and helpful I had a moment ( moment got a bit dehydrated walking back from Walmart) out side someone’s house. Theladycame out with a chair and water and offered to take us back to our condo One niggle the electronic lock on the condo door Same as the one in the villa needed battery’s no back up key 15 minutes and DH needed to go before the MC appeared me I couldn’t have cared less but made us glad we have a key safe as back up Flat battery were the issue DH fixed it in 2 minutes with his holiday screw driver Magnum helicopter flight doors off tomorrow ( Saturday) watch this space Edited at 03:40 AM. |

We are and we know it’s not everyone’s choice
We’ve been down to the beach but for me beach is dogs and wellies It’s beautiful but crowded We will return to SF and Hawaii which the kids find odd as we both hated Las Vegas and I mean hated me much more than DH DS2 and DIL had a great wedding day but not for them that’s for surev |

Helen. A totally different holiday for you both and it sounds like you are having a lovely time. Much needed I suspect after the last few months.
Take care.

It sounds amazing Helen! So pleased you are having a good time you really deserve it.
Had to smile at the supermarket thing, I was shocked at how expensive fresh veggies were I recall a floret of broccoli was around £5 last visit! Enjoy the rest of your trip, thanks for sharing (its awful dull windy weather here) x
