Holiday SF Shopping trip


Margaret (aka Boog) and I took the train to San Franicisco's Union Square for a little Shopping extravaganza!!!! I loved the train, its amazing the wet lands surrounding Sac but Margaret gets a bit motion sick...so the train was not her favorite part. I think her favorite part was the shoe department at Macy's. We went to Neiman Marcus and Bloomies just to see how the other half lives....Shoes for $400....ouch!!!! The holiday decorations were a treat but the streets were packed. Plus we got to see the SPCA adoption windows at Macys.

We stayed at a boutique hotel, The Rex and it was really cute. But beware of those shopping packages, we got a bit screwed...oh well, we went with it. Plus thier restaurant was increadiable, our dinner was delicious pumpkin ravioli with a room delivery dessert...living large. Then we got our freak on...we put on our PJs, poured ourselves some wine, turned on "Finding Nemo" and we out by 9:20pm. Sad but we woke well rested!!! We dined on Eggs Benedict~yum and packed for our return trip.

Now mind you the hotel didn't have us coming in Saturday but Friday, and we confirmed our plans had changed but obviously we were there to stay with them. As for the Train we had tickets leaving Saturday and returning Monday cause that was our original plan. I called Amtrak and spoke with the clerk at the station and they all said, no problem. But come Sunday morning we are standing at the bus stop, cuz you have to bus in from Emeryville, and Margaret starts to get nervous since our plans show the bus coming at 12:35 but that would be for Monday...not Sunday! And we are there 30 minutes early, cause thats the kind of travelers we are...lo and behold up drives the bus, thank Gawd we were early...then things just fell into place...early departure from SF means early departure from Emeryville, means early arrival home.

GREAT TRIP and my best store was Lush, they make handmade soaps, massage bars, lotion bars and bath bombs. Then Sunday night, Survivor...what a shock, Yul won...I think just cause its seasonal~ha!

I almost never leave a response, but after reading a few of the
remarks on this page "Holiday SF Shopping trip". I actually do have a
couple of questions for you if it's okay. Could it be only me or do a few of the remarks come across like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I'd
like to keep up with everything new you have to post.
Would you make a list of all of all your shared sites like your Facebook page,
twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
