I have a couple of flights to get to San Francisco where I am meeting Jodie and my parents. On the train to the airport I got talking to a Scottish woman who ended up being the check in woman for my flights. Good job I was polite because she ended up changing my flight and got me on a direct earlier flight!
I was meant to be meeting Jodie at the airport but she was unable to get on the first flight from the uk so I wasn't sure when she was landing so I went to check both of us in at the hostel.
Mum and Dad got into San Francisco the day before so I got in touch with them and met them in Union Square. It was so good to catch up and see each other again, we went to a cafe and spent the afternoon having a few pints. Jodie arrived at SFO so I went to meet her in the station and got her all checked in before we went and met Mum and Dad again and went for a look around Chinatown. That night we went to a pub which is part of their hotel and spent the whole night in there getting drunk, it was such a good laugh, we even met Patrick Stewart (well some guy from Plymouth who looked like his double!) By the end of the night I think we were all quite wrecked, good times!
Next day we met up and walked down to Fishermans Wharf and had a look around there before we were due to go on the Alcatraz cruise. We weren't able to do Alcatraz last time we were here so we booked well in advance and got tickets for Mum and Dad. We got our photo taken before we went and the first thing Mum shouted when she saw the pic was 'look at my nipples!'. The guy in front of her nearly toppled over trying to look at our picture! Alcatraz is well smart. You get given an audio tour that tells you where to go and all about the history of the place. It shows you the 'hole', tells you about their most famous convicts like Al Capone and the Birdman and tells you all about the escape attempts and how one ended up in a bloody battle with the US army. The audio tour lasted about an hour so we then walked around the island and had a look at the old Governers house and where the guards lived with their families. You can get to most of the island easily, the only bits you can't are the parts that are falling apart so it was a really good day out.
At night we all met up again in the bar by Mum and Dads and had a few too many drinks again. Were all up early in the morning to head to Vegas but that didn't stop us from having a heavy session beforehand!
