More adventures across the pond

In March we are going for a multi-stop trip to San Francisco and Vancouver. Claire has friends who are on work placement in Vancouver so we are staying there for free for ten days and having done considerable investigation on flights it transpires that it is barely more expensive to fly through San Francisco so we are stopping for five days there too.


We are flying out to San Francisco on Virgin (because they were very nice when we flew with them to New York) where we connect to a flight to Vancouver with United. I know this sounds a bit weird but for quite a lot of flights out (or back) you have to connect somewhere (often random places like Cincinnati or Salt Lake City) and this way we get a cheaper deal than we were quoted from Flight Centre by around 250 squids and get nice Virgin Flights rather than having to board something crappy and expensive which seem to be the only airlines that fly direct to Vancouver.

Haven't booked anywhere to stay in 'cisco yet. Was thinking this place looked rather funky and is highly praised on Trip Advisor however my parents wisdom suggests that Fishermans Wharf is tack central and not the place to stay. We will have to see...

It is still three months away but I am already really rather excited, hence why I am telling you all about it.
