Cheers Dan! We stayed in Fisherman’s Wharf, hotel was excellent, but around the place, i’d feel more at home at Skeggy, with all these tacky shops about, selling cheap fake watches and cameras etc.
Going thru the suburbs on the tram was very nice! Houses were classy, had style, i liked that crooked street, it was very unique!
Once we got downtown tho, i couldnt wait to get out of that place, beggars everywhere, especially Union Square, homless people about, with trollyes rumigging in bins looking for food etc, and this was on the main street, where all the offices and shops where!
Was not the city i was expecting!
Bhoy, my uncle went to SFO 7 years ago and then went back last 6 months ago, and he said the place has changed dramatically in that time.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m happy i’ve been there, so see the Golden Gate, Alcatraz etc, but its not a place i’d go back to 🙂
Now Chicago…thats totally a different story 😀
Ah, my Dad works on a house here in N.Wales, who is owned by a Chicagolian living in London, who has a very tidy buisness 🙂
Sadly he suffered a brain seziure 4 weeks ago, and he was supposed to go over to Chicago for his monthly break, so he kindly offered the tickets to us!
I’d much rather head down to Toyota Park in Bridgeview to see Chicago Fire play in the MLS, Baseball not really my strong point, but the atmosphere was incredible!
I have to say, i liked the temps in AZ, much nicer than 85F here, much less humid there!!
Was not liking the 60’s @ SFO tho! Too cold!
And i’ll try and fly Ted again!
Aahh the pleasures of making an old Classic 747 fly everyday!
I’m sure they are looking forward for those 744’s to arrive asap!
Sleeping at the wheel eh??
Nah fantastic mate, shame i’m not down there this year!
Aye, but you were talking about a 757. 😉
Ah yeah true hehe, sorry!
you’re right, though, RB211’s are definately better than Pratts. :diablo:
Or the Trent772B as in my case, that whine on the spool, its just a heavenly sound!
2 weeks away, and all i see is excellent additions to our collection!!
Nout special from me, just flew ORD-PHX in a Ted A320, just like 2 weeks ago, and flying an A319 from LPL to NCE, as G-EZAY now flies from Liverpool since Wednesday!

And an excellent batch from you too Jon! CO looks super!
Welcome to the forums mate!
I like the MYT 757, crisp and sharp!
Cheers guys!
Yep, it was full in Econ, Premium has 3 spare seats, and Biz class has 2 spare! Not bad to think the school holidays hasn’t started!
I think there is still hope that ORD will stay on for a few years yet on a A330, if not then bmi have made one massive mistake!
EK looks super there Tom! As do the rest of them!
Cheers for your kind comments guys, they are much appreciated. ORD-MAN looks like being tomorrow now, but might do it later tonight, with Dr.Who no more on BBC1! 🙂
Thanks for your kind comments you two 🙂
