I was born, grew up and still live in the East Bay. I've spent a lot of time in San Francisco. This vlog is so beautiful. Thank you for your thoughtful, respectful take on the city I love so much. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. ❤️

I was in San Francisco for a few days before my brother and I took a cruise to Alaska at the end of July. Recognized a lot of your stops in the city and brings back memories. As Leigh said..’When a moment becomes a memory, that’s what makes it special.’

This is one of the best vlogs! I'm from Sacramento. Not far from SF. I've been to most of the places in the vlog. There's nothing you can't find to do there. It's one of the best places to visit and live. Looking forward to Napa Valley also. I love it there. I wish you had time to go to Monterey. It has one of the best aquariums and it's beautiful.

i am enjoying your SF video. it's good to see that there is still so much positive to still see there. we hear terrible news about homeless overtaking every street and human feces everywhere. glad to see that's not all there is. hope to see more of the winery in your hotel. Sounds very nice.

What a fabulous day. So glad you were able to see the Golden Gate at last without the marine layer (that is the local name for the fog that rolls in off the Pacific - nature’s air conditioning for us). No wonder you were knackered. SF hills will do that to you. Parking on them is an art - you learn to kerb your wheels. One of the apartments my son lived in the hill was so steep I could hardly get out of the car and stay upright.🤣🤣🤣.

Ah, I didn't realise you guys were road tripping the USA - looking forward to seeing more videos of this trip! A few years ago (while I was still at uni, so more years than I like to admit...) I road tripped from San Francisco to New York, via the deep south - it'll always be one of my all-time favourite trips!

I remember thinking when I toured in California back in 1990 that I liked the Bay Area much more than I did Los Angeles. We mostly stayed in Berkeley but managed to get over to San Francisco a couple of times, and I very clearly remember visiting Ghirardelli Square. Not only was there the Ghirardelli shop, but there was also a Sharper Image store that I think was the first one I ever visited. and I do remember driving over the Golden Gate Bridge because we spent some time in the Napa area, too. I do think it stinks that expensive hotels not only charge you exorbitant prices for rooms but then ask you to pay exorbitant prices to park as well.

Brought back memories from June.. Our first visit to Bubba Gump was on the pier and we also stayed in that Holiday Inn in 1997.We did the bus tour and loads of walking we went everywhere you went and Alcatraz we were there 4 nights, that hill to Coit Tower is a killer.Did you notice those food sellers at fisherman's wharf can only operate in a certain area. I really liked San Francisco my wife not so, it was ok in the day but felt unsafe In places with the homeless and people obviously unwell, This was our 3rd visit to San Francisco and it has certainly changed over the years
@liamstambourine Жыл бұрын
At Ghirardelli square the old factory building is actually a hotel, like loft style apartments they are beautiful. We stayed there and we could see Alcatraz from our bed, had a lovely terrace where we could sit and watch all the hustle and bustle in the square. Honestly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed

What another fantastic fun filled day,you must have been exhausted by the time you'd climbed up and down all those hills. I can't get over how much the hotel charges for car parking 😲 I certainly don't blame you for moving your car to another place,we would've done the same. Another smashin vlog guys 💙💙 xx
@TheLodgeGuys Жыл бұрын
The parking chargers in San Fran are ridiculous at the Hotels. Because we knew we would be arriving late and all the reports of crime in the evenings in San Fran we just didnt want to risk being away from the Hotel on our first night, dragging all our cases through the streets at night. Now we have done it we would definitely just book into the offsite car park straight away. Its all about hindsight with these things
@alisonl777 Жыл бұрын
@@TheLodgeGuys yeah hindsight is a great thing but you were absolutely right to do it the way you did when you were just going on advice ( safety first is paramount) but it's good to know that now you've got first-hand experience you would be happy to park elsewhere from the start. I'm enjoying your road trip 💙💙 xx

Hello again guys! Ive just watched your previous video on pch road trip....me & my partner did san Francisco 2006....and then flew into san Francisco 2024 to collect our dodge charger and drove straight down pch to san Diego...we didn't go into sf because we heard it was quite dangerous to do so nowadays with all the homeless and street crime now there and because we had a rental car we had all our luggage and didn't want to risk leaving our car on the streets and like you said its mega expensive to park there, but looking back i wish we took the chance and just did it!... We did have great memories last time we were there though... Alcatraz was brilliant! As was cycling golden gate bridge ❤

SF was always my favorite city till London, now I love them both. It’s so fun to watch these California blogs, my home state. You both are quite entertaining.
