Travelers to NYC ! Who? When? MAY I ask?

Upgraded to New Zealand or from NZ?
Any upgrade is good. And yes, the Qantas lounge is not as bling as it was.
But...better than the general transit lounge.

From Adelaide to Auckland. We are now in Auckland figuring out what we are going to do today. A ferry is being discussed. Lovely feel to this city.

Off to San Francisco tomorrow....we forked out for premium economy.

My backpack zip has broken to my immense frustration.

Oy.

May you fix that soon. Or someone in SF will know how.
Bunny and pal in SF, oh, my. I will be very interested in your impressions, short or long. Mine have varied wildly over the years but I have generally loved the place.

It is different now than even when I last passed through, re economic variation.

I got into the Fort Mason area on some of my last visits, the walking space, the arty stuff, bridge in view, even the Greens restaurant (well, then, I don't know about it now.)

Do I remember you are going to a thing in Monterey? That's on my love list two, though I have only been there a few times. I'm an aquarium liker, but also liked the people I met in the town. Had a favorite art gallery, started with an H, specialized in california paintings. This is fuzzy - the owner lived at a house Steinbeck lived in at some point, or so I remember. Asked us (sort of an art crew heading to Sacramento, one of the three of us a government person) to their place for a glass of wine. I remember liking the gallery and I'm very picky re CA art.

Ah, found it -

(not far)
and I remember wanting to move to Pacific Grove, back then, circa '95.

Leaving Auckland this evening....arriving earlier on the same day in SF because of international dateline.

I've talked the ears off ehBeth, so I'm heading for Calgary and Banff in the morning.

My backpack zip has broken to my immense frustration.

Funny, they usually break from overpacking....

Joe(throw away one fourth of that stuff, you need room for gifts)Nation

It broke because the fabric at one end deteriorated and allowed the zippy open and close thing to drop off!

Grrrrrrrr

Enjoy!

Loving San Francisco.....except for stupid back cannot cope with sitting on any remotely hard surface. Have included blow up cushion in that which I carry in backpack. Hope it may help.

Hummingbirds in our little private bit of back yard. Small room in beautiful weatherboard multi storey home in Tenderloin. Wonderfully knowledgeable couple

I am resting back early part of today them going into down town area. Have discovered one beautiful and healthy place to eat so far.....

Beautiful weather.

Lost my kindle charger. : (

Pondering
