The USA

In and around United States

Well we made it. We have been here for 3 days now after taking 27 hrs to get here. Various cockups in planes,ending up coming via Los Angeles on a different flight instead of direct to San Fran. Jill had a fit of jet lag. I have found that half a bottle of scotch gets rid of jetlag (badluck Shane) We spent 2 days in Frisco and went on a boat cruise under the Golden Bridge. We went shopping or Jill did I was just the bag carrier. Clothing and shoes are cheap. Jill saved me a fortune. We are not in Santa Rosa about 2 hrs Nth of Frisco . We caught a bus up and travelled on the wrong side of the road, a weird feeling. Any way I will not try to upload some phot's so don't go away If it does'nt work I will be back soon for the next episode

love to all

Bill & Jill

G'day Bill 'n Jill. Sounds as though your travel plans have been subject to 'en route adjustments' just as much as ever. But San Fran is great isn't it. And, yes, I too discovered that duty free scotch seems to be an antidote to jet lag (amongst other travel problems). I was going to advise you before you left but figured you would figure this out for yourself fairly quickly. Great to hear that you are saving money over there - particularly now withthe Oz $ - the more you invest in the retail economy of the USA the more you save. Hope you go to the cannery, the docks area and must do a cable tram. Bloody cold here this weekend - definitely snowing somewhere. Cheers, Peter
