Out of all my batch girls, there's only 2 that i never get to fly with.. Jacqueline and Mindy. So when i was rostered to do HKG-SFO with Jacq, i was quite excited... So excited was I that we actually discussed what we can do in Frisco.
And we decided to pre-booked the Alcatraz tour.
It was an interesting tour. We found out more abt the maximum security prison itself and get insights on how the inmates actually lived in those cramped cells.
But one thing i can say, it was freezing down there so when i found out that a few prisoners actually tried to escape, i swear i dunno how they think they could survive the icy waters surrounding The Rock.
But the trip there and back was beautiful. The city skyline of San Francisco coupled with a breathtaking sunset view of The Golden Gate Bridge was truly amazing.
And at night, when you can see the lights of the city from across at The Rock itself.. it was fantastic.
Back at the city, it was shopping and eating for us. And back in HKG, we met another of our batch girl, Mint, for the Christmas dinner, courtesy of the Kowloon Hotel. How nice they were..
And my latest indulgence for this trip..
Come to think of it, wat MD said was true. $400 for a piece of SILVER jewellery? Might not be so worth it after all huh...?
