Anyway on to my vacation, I'll be leaving home on Monday to catch a train to Manchester where I will stay overnight at Bewleys Hotel on the Airport. I usually stay here its quite good and they do a good breakfast.
Tuesday morning 11am I will be flying with US Airways first to Philadelphia and after a short stopover a change of Plane and on to San Francisco. I arrive just after 7pm which as there is a 8 hour time difference will be equivallent 3am. I reckon I'll be slightly knackered by then so it will be a bite to eat and bed.
My Hotel in SF is Beresford Arms Hotel which looks really nice and is close to Union Square. They also provide a complimentry Breakfast and on a evening there is a free Wine & Cheese hour.
I have not too many plans on what I'll see while in SF although from a Tourist point of view I reckon Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge are a must.
One planned arrangement is meeting one of my Blog friend Arlene over Lunch on Monday. We are planning to meet at The Daily Grill a restaurant Arlene has found on the Internet and is very close to my Hotel. Origionally we were cosidering going to a Vegetarian Restaurant (yes you did read that right) Greens which also looks very nice.
As for nightlife as one does I've been researching a few live music venues and I'll have a look at some of these :-
Lou's Pier 47 Restaurant and Blues Club
Maybe I won't get to all of these because I'm sure to find some hidden gems on my travels around the City.
I leave SF on Tuesday 19th in the morning arriving home the following morning.

Hello Mick, hope your foot is improving. Here's something to cheer you up (hopefully) Seeing you're taking it easy today would you like to see a stream of the lads today against Derby? Go here:

You will need to install a player called TVANTS. You can get it by clicking on the link on the left. Then when you have that installed, just click on the play link for the game. The picture wont be fantastic and the commentary will be foreign, but hey, its the lads!
It may take a few mins to load :)
Oh. and if a box comes up asking for a username and password, just press cancel. I've used this a few times and had no probs at all :)
Sounds like you are in for a nice trip, hoping that your gout clears up fast so it will let you do some walking. The weather is temperamental in SF, so be prepared for cool days. Have a fabulous trip!
Airliebird,
Another bad result I'm afraid but I understand some money is going to be made available for new players in the January transfer window.
Jenny,
The Gout will certainly spoil it a lot but there is good signs today of improvement so I have my fingers crossed.
I've been checking the weather and its getting to about 13c at best and just above freezing at night. I think they are getting some rain up to tuesday.
I hope you get well soon so you can enjoy your SF trip. Alcatraz would be so cool to visit but difficult I would think if your gout is misbehaving.
Ooo you know me - I love food you gotta do us a food report on what's what in SF!
Feel better soon!! I hope it clears up and you have a wonderful vacation!!
Rachel,
I'll tell you all about the Food and Alcatraz (if they don't keep me in).
Hmr,
I'm hopfull it will clear up there are signs of improvement.
