Honeymoon Day 1

By alex

Hey guys! Going to be keeping a journal on here of my wife and I’s days in America on our honeymoon!

Day 1: Flights and First impressions of San Fransisco.

4am UK time – I’m woken up by Anna and we decide to get up an hour early and get ready for the epic 11.5 hour flight to SF.

We arrived at Heathrow Airport 90 minutes early so we sat around waiting patiently till we were allowed into the main lounge area. Once in we had some breakfast and at 11:00 we were able to board the plane.

The flight was very long! I managed to watch 4 movies I think! Loving the new movies on demand digital players everyone now has access to, even in the economy seats. I took a few pictures from my window seat of the landscape over America (see below)

Once we arrived in SF we made our way through passport control, collected our bags and made our way to the car rentals place.

The guy at hertz made sure that we got the mustang I was hoping for!! She’s beautiful in White!!

The drive to the hotel was somewhat interesting.. People are very impatient! And some of the driving rules at junctions are baffling! Such as being able to turn left at a red light provided you’ve stopped first!! Had some dude behind me beeping his horn making me edge forward a bit and push my way into the traffic. I moved out into a big enough space and then had some irate Dude in a civic giving me grief.

Anna was a bit traumatised by the whole experience! It wasn’t that bad to me so here’s hoping driving later today is better!!

Once we got to the hotel we checked in and decided to pop out for a bite to eat. What we saw of the main road was beautiful. I got a couple of cool pictures. We ate at a burger place called Carls. It was good! The milkshake was amazing.

On the way back to the hotel it was just getting dark and we’d seen a fair number of homeless people and the usual weirdos and crazy people in the street but one of them ran up to Anna with his hands all scary like going booooooo!!!! Anna hadn’t seen him till he was all up in her face! He didn’t touch her or anything but it was so funny!

So that was day one! We were really tired when we got back to the hotel, I passed out but we were both woken up at 3am and I decides to post this!

More later today!
