My original plan for San Francisco was to behave like a tourist and stay down by the pier and Fisherman’s Wharf like we do 99% of the time, but I changed my mind at the last minute.
At half the price I would have paid in the tourist area, I booked an airport hotel where I got a free airport shuttle, free room upgrade, free breakfast, and a discount to the restaurant across the parking lot for the other meals. Cheaper is better these days, right? So after a quick evening flight, quick shuttle ride to the hotel, and a good nights sleep I’m camped out watching trash TV (Catfish this time) like I always do on the first day my solo adventures.

While the free breakfast was nothing to write home about (except I guess I’m doing that right now), having my lunch/dinner at nearby Max’s restaurant made up for it. A yummy tropical Daiquiri

| On the rocks, not frozen |
and a yummy patty melt
 |
| Look at those delicious grilled onions |
along with some pretty flowers on the way out
with a detour out back of the hotel for some plane spotting.

| All made for a pleasant afternoon |
Now one more good nights sleep and I’ll be ready to join my new home, the Ruby Princess, as we head to Hawaii. See you tomorrow onboard!
