California Roadtrip Begins
 So, with no itinerary in mind, we flew in to San Francisco to begin a week long jaunt along the California coastline ! No hotel reservations… nothing but a ticket back home one week later. The plan was to end up where we wanted, when we wanted and not be tied down to a schedule.
 This enabled us to stay at some great places, and get some last minute great deals! ( We also learned what to NOT ever do again!)
 So there will be a chain of blogs on this trip with photos , videos and other snippets of information on some great places and things we came across from Sausolito to Carmel !
Our plane arrived in San Francisco on Day One of our journey , around one, and that was after a two hour delay! This gave us plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day in San Francisco before heading on to the next stop, the following afternoon.
After picking up the rental car, we headed straight to Fisherman’s Wharf for lunch and then decided it would be romantic to take a freezing cold, windy boat ride underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, and viewing Alcatraz up close and personal.
After the boat ride, we strolled around a bit, snacking on street vendor clam chowder and crab and people watching.
 After hanging around there a while, we decided to seek shelter and find a hotel. Unfortunately, the America’s Cup race was being held in town, so most places were either sold out, or had raised the pricing due to the busy weekend, UGH!
So, the point here, is that you should check out any events that are being held in town, and that will let you know if there will be issues finding lodging.
As we drove around, we decided to stop and take photos of the famous Lumbard Street and then hit China Town (my husband LOVES asian food) before ever finding a hotel…..
