We flew fromTampa to Atlanta where we ran to catch our connection that we came close tomissing due to storms that were in Atlanta earlier that had delayed our initialflight. Fortunately for me, the storms passed and our flight to San Franciscowas a smooth ride. Landing in San Fran, we summoned our Uber driver for a shortride to the Airbnb room I booked for us. We followed the directions given forour late arrival and we soon enjoying our bed after a long day of traveling. ... read more

Geo: 37.6244, -122.414As we headed back into SF, we tried to fine a pizza place on the way back to San Bruno. We checked a couple of streets and most of the restuarants were of Asian faire. (Ick for me and Yum for Naomi!). Then Naomi say a store that had something of interest. So after looking around inside the store, I bought her a pair of cartoon slippers based on some Japanese cartoon. We then headed to San Bruno to look at a recommended pizza place. After finding the pizza place, Toto's, we parked and ordered a large pizza, salad, and cheesy garlic bread ($31). Unfortunately, Naomi soon lost her appetite due to learning from her father, Dan, that she may have to re-enroll for her winter classes for college. We left with the pizza ... read more

Geo: 37.6244, -122.414After driving for 1 1/2 hours but at a good speed with minimal traffic jams, we crossed through Berkley, Oakland, and San Francisco to get to San Bruno. The hotel is at the edge of an old downtown distric of San Bruno. The area around the place is a little run down, but the hotel itself ois very clean and safe. Even though we face the street, we hear no noise. After settling in on the the 2nd floor, I went across the street to the liquor store to get Naomi some tea and me some orange juice. The older Hindu man behind the counter chatted with me a bit. Then I met a family from Potland in the hotel lobby while grabbing all the brochures on places to see in SF. Naomi worked ... read more

We arrived at Villa Montes Hotel by way of a ‘VIP Taxi’ which resembled a cross between a tuk-tuk and a smart car driven by a cross between Joan Jett and Barbara Striesand and was a man. We gave him/her $2 for his/her trouble which he/she immediately went out and bought pink hair dye we presume as on our return trip he/she had dressed up especially. The Hotel itself was very nice, very 1990’s castle-like. We had the prestigious rotunda room with the cathedral ceiling and a giant bed with an enormous headboard. Free Wi-Fi was a bonus as was the complimentary breakfast which was typically American in size, ie: for obese people and/or those hoping to be. The highlight of the breakfast was the waffle making machine which although required some effort to learn how ... read more
