So Long, San Francisco

Last May 4, we flew back to Manila from San Francisco. Our last day in San Francisco was spent packing our stuff and doing some last minute shopping for magazines, chocolates, and other pasalubongs.

It's a good thing that my brother lives pretty near the San Francisco airport. For our evening flight, we left the house early, checked in, and came home again to enjoy a yummy Paella Armando dinner.

After a delicious meal, we had some photos taken and we were off to the airport. We were right on time, with a few minutes to spare and our airport experience was relaxed this time compared to our trip from Los Angeles.

On the flight back to Manila, I finally caught the Juday-Ryan movie Kasal, Kasalo, Kasali which I failed to watch when it showed in the movie houses. E di tipid sa pagbili ng VCD. =) The movie was funny and entertaining although I thought the ending was a letdown. The problem just got resolved so quickly. Para bang biglang tinamad na yung direktor at scriptwriter at sinabing: Tapos na!

Anyway, that ends our Los Angeles and San Francisco chronicles for the Viloria Family Vacation for 2007. Thanks for reading all our vacation tales. Ang daming kuwento! To think that I started writing about the trip as soon as we got back in early May.

In the coming days, there will be a few more write-ups about the trip although not necessarily relating to the places that we saw or visited. Those should be done in a week or so and then it will be back to regular programming -- anything goes!

So, to my brother and his family, a big big thank you. We really appreciated your hospitality and all the effort that you took to make our stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. Para ngang babalik agad kami? Haha. To Rick and Rose, thank you too.

Where to next year? Most likely, it will be domestic. Which particular destination? Only the wind knows. =)
