Dropping By At Pier 39 in San Francisco

FEW DAYS BEFORE FLYING...

My son came to fetch both of us back to his home in San Jose, in less than a week, we had to fly back to our own country.  It was a three months trip for me and a month of traveling for my friend.  She came with one big suitcase and went back with an extra big one borrowed from my sister!  LOL... And both suitcases were full to the brim and she has to leave some of her "unused" stuff behind, such as her big pair of boots!

Two days before we left, my son took us to Pier 39 in San Francisco.  I had not been here before, heard that this place is one of the tourist spots in SF, so we must make a visit here before leaving.  We left early in the morning and we reached Pier 39 in less than an hour.

From the parking lot, we had to pass this overhead bridge to the pier...
Blue skies but cold weather....
We took turns carrying our little man cos he doesn't like stroller....
Everywhere it is Pier 39... 
Let's go and have fun!
Our little man was not keen....
Tourist-ing around the area....
Lovers' Locks....
We made this instead....
Behind us is the Alcatraz Island...
An ultimate maximum security prison during the hey-days..
Now it stands as a tourist spot...
To go on a ferry round the island cost $99... 
Hence the picture to save cost... 
LOL.... 
One must not leave Pier 39 without stopping by here...
Famous for its sourdough bread...
Clam Chowder.... and it was really good!
Forgot what the filling is in this burger.... 
Fried Calamari
And mini-sized fish n chips....

  4. Pier 39 still looks the same and probably very windy too.

    The experience to visit Alcatraz Island would be worth the price as it's an eye opener for anyone.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m
