After missing a whole day we are finally on our way! Here we are on the long journey by bus to San Francisco, California. @yenmoon is attempting to get comfortable and take a nap on the Greyhound bus. (Good luck with that!)

We've been on the bus since around 10:20 PM and it's now 5:32 AM as I look out the window and take these pictures of the lights of San Francisco approaching... February 15, 2018...

Almost there!

6:16 AM After taking a taxi from the bus station we arrive at our hotel. In these photos we have just arrived and are still in the lobby of the SW Hotel. We are very very tired but also very happy to have finally arrived! Time to get some sleep and then explore our Anniversary Vacation! YAY!!! :-)

...and uh oh... We Reserved the room using plastic but since we've intended to pay for everything with cash we don't actually have enough money on my card to check-in since apparently the hotel requires the check-in to be with plastic and the one card we have that does have enough doesn't have a name on it and so is not acceptable! Oh NO! What now!!!?

In this above photo @yenmoon is using her phone to attempt to locate anything in the area that will allow us to quickly put money on my card...

*Sigh... Just when we thought that everything was fine and we had arrived...

6:52 AM After some stressful moments we were finally able to work things out and proceed with our check-in... Whew!

I must say that the front desk staff was very excellent during this stressful time and we very much appreciated their excellent service, compassionate understanding, and professionalism.

Once upon a time I spent 11 years working front desk in 2 different hotels and so I really feel I know what it takes to achieve and execute excellent customer service. It's really a very important skill and it seems to me that many businesses and people fall far short in this respect, but not here at SW Hotel! The excellent quality of service during our interaction today has made it certain that SW Hotel in San Francisco, California is our Favorite Hotel in SF and the one we will always choose and recommend!

The 2 pictures above are some views of our room on the 3rd floor...

11:04 AM After getting some sleep we are ready to begin... While @yenmoon is getting ready, I am looking to see if I can find some coffee downstairs and so at the same time I snap some pictures of some views of the hotel corridor, entry to lobby from area of elevators and etc...

When first getting out of the elevators on the first floor if you walk to your left you are heading back to the lobby area and the front doors... If you walk to your right you will find the doors to the breakfast area...

Pictured below is view of the skylight near the elevators...

Back to the room without coffee. Coffee is only available during the morning breakfast. That's okay. We're going out anyway so I'll get some then.

11:23 AM Almost ready to go! :-)

11:57 AM Our hotel is located in the China Town area so there are many great choices to choose from in selecting the first meal of our vacation in China Town/SF!

12:08 PM @yenmoon satisfies her desire for Asian cuisine!

12:33 PM Me satisfying my desire for coffee! :-)

Here as we are leaving we are looking at some more of the goodies this place has to offer...

In the picture above we are back outside and on our way to one of the many adventure that @yenmoon has planned for us! (I enjoy snapping random shots such as this one. I find them interesting and artful. Where I live we just don't see such a mass of vegetables all lined up out in front of a shop so to me it is a colorful and unique experience.)

1:02 PM @yenmoon consulting her map. @yenmoon is Extremely Excellent at travel plan coordinating.

Snapping pictures as we walk to find the right bus-stop. When @yenmoon put together this anniversary/vacation package she went online to find some of the best deals she could in relation to what we would be doing here.

Her efforts found us fun things to do and see...

...as well as BIG savings in relation to transportation and activities!

Picture Picture! :-)

Using the selfie-stick again!

We are on our way to Coit Tower.

(Coit Tower in far background)
Coit Tower was built in 1933 and @yenmoon chose it because it is said to have a wonderful view of San Fransisco from the top.

We like the selfie-stick! :-)

Here we have a set of stairs that will take us to Coit Tower!

On our way up!!!

There are a few ways to get there and they all include walking up a whole lotta stairs!

In these pictures we're almost there.

We didn't realize it at the time but we got lucky and discovered the easiest way up.

The other way up has a crazy amount of stairs. Okay to go down but definitely a workout if you're gonna go up that way.

1:36 PM Inside Coit Tower at the base.

Getting our hands stamped for admission to the elevator ride to the top!

An attendant offers to take our picture. :-)

1:42PM At the top!

What a GREAT view this is!

2:12PM Back down and outside! Where will we go next!? (To Be Continued)

Thanks to @yenmoon for the great contribution of photos! :-)

And thank you for joining us in our adventure today!

May all your adventures be of the kind you would love!
