Leave Fiji with Spen and fly to LA where S goes off to New York to stay with his friend Tim, and I head to SF to meet Gill for the week. We stay the first 3 nights at a hostel in The Mission district Elements . Not a bad hostel at all, clean and modern with a great roof terrace bar. Had cocktails and watched the sun set over the city on our first evening. Also attached to the hostel is a fantastic North African bar and resturant . Spent time wandering around Fisherman's Wharf, watching the sealions, checked out Bubba Gump's with Forrest Gump to greet us outside (looked just like Tom Hanks too! shopping eating etc, wandering around Pacific Heights, the bay area and of course shopping at Union Square. ... read more

We landed in Sydney about ... read more

The plane trip was uneventful and boring...and LONG. I don’t remember the exact amount of time we were held captive but I’m thinking it was about 10 hours to Frankfurt where we had a couple hours lay over and then another 12 hours to San Francisco. We had a bit of a hassle at Chennai when our reserved, TWICE confirmed seats, appeared to have been given to someone else and we were reassigned to three seats separated and spread out throughout the plane. Praveen was not happy, especially after confirming them twice before we went to the airport, and especially after a similar incident when we first started the trip in San Francisco. The nice lady behind the counter told us that there was nothing anyone could do and she had no idea why the seats ... read more
