San Francisco

San Francisco - Both Young Jin and Lesley are on the same SQ flight to San Francisco.  Upon arrival at SFO, Young Jin decided to go solo and go hunting for some nice handbags for his wife.  Lesley and I headed to our hotel in Walnut Creek via the BART.

The Hotel is a very nice with modern fittings in the room - Mariott Sports @ Walnut Creek.  After checking in, we headed back to San Francisco to meet Young Jin.  We did not want to lug our heavy luggage around SF.

As we were feeling hungry, we went to Chinatown but could not decide which restaurant to have our dinner. 

Sweet and Sour Pork

 But it was too sweet for all of us....very different way of cooking from Asia

Alcatraz

San Francisco - I read and watch movies on Alcatraz and always wanted to visit this once 'hell' hole.  I have tried previously to purchased tickets to Alcatraz  but it was always sold out on the day.  So, the day prior I bought 2 tickets for Young Jin and myself.  Young Jin and I was surprised that the trip was fully paid as an incentive for our excellent sales performance.
