#100WaysToTravel #citywalk #SanFrancisco #popularfood #vintage There were still many hours before I had to wait for my early morning flight, so I headed to the downtown Valencia Street recommended on the Internet. It has a collection of art, retro, hippie, vintage, home furnishings, aromatherapy, various interesting vintage shops, and many restaurants, which slightly alleviated my negative evaluation of SF 😅 🌟Must-try yogurt ice cream "Souvia": I ordered the honeycomb premium version of Baklava Crumbles & honey syrup $8. It's no wonder that the yogurt is so sour and refreshing, but I think the original flavor is fine! 📍758 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 🌟 Must-buy chocolate souvenir "Dandelion Chocolate": It is a local chocolate brand in San Francisco, characterized by small-batch production at the place of origin. The store is very exquisitely decorated, with delicious coffee, various desserts, and many souvenir choices, all of which can be tasted! 📍740 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 🌟There is also "The Drawing Room", a large gallery where you can paint and hold regular personal exhibitions; "Often Wander" is a very healing home store, and all kinds of aromatherapy small decorations are super cute; "Outset Coffee" Osmanthus Latte, with a strong osmanthus fragrance~ 💯You can spend a whole day on this street. I felt the charm of Valencia St in just a few hours. I also bought my first Jellycat in my life. It was really healing💕 Bye Bye SF!

We had a 12-hour overnight layover in San Francisco, and I have to say, for American airports, spending the night at SFO was not too bad. There were a few exhibits around to look at, and there were nap chairs to take a rest in. Although, the most popular places to sleep were the dining booths in the food courts. Overall, it wasn’t too bad, and staying in the international terminal saved us quite a bit of money versus staying at an airport hotel. #airport #layover #sanfrancisco

Stunning scenes and some wonderful history. Not too difficult to get to even in midday traffic. Very peaceful and a great place to explore. There are no puzzles or rooms filled with ridiculous levels where you have to fight your shadow.

Have a wonderful family vacation at this farm! A big farm with everything, big parking, shuttle service, pony rides...my granddaughter had a blast! This is fun for the family! Kids and adults will love this place with live music and a cafe! Highly recommended if you are looking for a great place to take your kids!

looking across the bay with the long road going on forever through the mountains and overlooking the Pacific Ocean is a marvelous view

#Overseas travel You can't miss the famous San Francisco tram! I paid $8 one way to ride it, and in about 30 minutes, you can go around the neighborhood! You can get a cheaper price if you download the Muni app and buy a ticket I captured the feeling of San Francisco's neighborhood while riding the tram! A truly beautiful San Francisco view..❤️

#triplocal The beach is amazing, it's hot but it's cleansing and the sand is awesome. I am going to miss it on my skin. Father Sky who in time for no man waits. This area is different from the rest of California, here and San Clemente I, are segregated naturally,and seem to have an inherent defense against worrisome outsiders. If the ocean gave way, the sand would learn a new language. To top if off, I'm lame as hell and alone. I got a year older this year for the first time in awhile. Happy Hunting. #triplocal

One of the coolest surprises during my time at the airport was finding a robot barista making coffee! I wasn’t expecting much at first—I mean, how good can robot-made coffee really be, right? But wow, it totally blew me away. The machine was super sleek and futuristic. You order on a screen (easy to use, even half-awake like me), choose your drink, and then just stand there and watch the robot arm go to work. It grabs the cup, adds espresso, steams the milk—everything is so precise and almost hypnotic to watch. People around me were filming it, and honestly, I did too 😅 I ordered an iced latte, and it came out just the way I like it—smooth, balanced, and not too sweet. The milk was frothed perfectly, and the temperature was spot on. It honestly tasted better than some cafés I’ve been to! What impressed me most was the convenience. No long lines, no awkward small talk when you’re still jet-lagged, and no mistakes with your order. It’s efficient, fun to watch, and surprisingly high-quality. Honestly, I’d love to see more of these robot baristas in other airports or public spaces. It’s a small thing, but it made my travel day feel a little more futuristic and a lot more fun.

Choosing the right flight is key to whether you can travel comfortably on a long-distance international flight. This time, I took United Airlines' flagship business class, Polaris, on an 11.5-hour flight from San Francisco to Tokyo Haneda. I'll introduce the seats, in-flight meals, and amenities I learned about when I actually boarded the flight. ⸻ ✅ What is Polaris Business Class? United Airlines' premium business class for long-distance international flights. It offers a full range of services to ensure a comfortable trip, including fully flat seats, luxurious bedding, a wide selection of meals and drinks, and lounge access. ⸻ ✈️ Boarding: Start from San Francisco Airport Go through the boarding gate and enter the plane. The seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 herringbone configuration, and all seats have aisle access. This time, I chose seat 12G. • The seats are booth-style, giving a sense of individuality. • Ample leg space even when seated. • Carry-on luggage can be stored under the ottoman (except during takeoff and landing). 📸 The photos also show the welcome screen upon boarding and the movements of passengers around you. ⸻ 🛏 The bedding and amenities are luxurious! United's Polaris bedding is made by Saks Fifth Avenue. The blankets and pillows are luxurious, so you can get a good night's sleep on board. The amenity kit is a collaboration pouch with AWAY, and is fully equipped with an eye mask, toothbrush, skin care set, socks, and more. 📸 The contents of the kit are clearly visible in the image, and it is clear that it is very practical. ⸻ 🍽 In-flight meals: Satisfying in both volume and taste! After takeoff, you can choose from three dinners: • Beef short ribs • Salmon with coconut sauce (optional) • Vegetarian chili and polenta cake The salmon was plump and went well with the Thai risotto-style rice served on the side. The Asian salad was also refreshing with dressing. 📸 The salad, main dish, bread, and drink were all beautifully arranged, and it was great to watch the movie "Indiana Jones" while eating. Dessert time: • Vanilla ice cream topped with brownies and chocolate fudge • A good sweet replenishment with hot coffee ⸻ 🍷 Drinks and snacks The welcome drink was water, but you can enjoy cocktails and sparkling water with nuts during cocktail time. 📸 The photo of Seagram's cans and cocktail glasses lined up is cool. ⸻ 🍳 Breakfast before arrival A hot breakfast was served before arriving at Haneda. The menu included: • Egg bites (Monterey Jack and red pepper) • Sausage • Roasted potatoes and tomatoes • Fruit bowl • Greek yogurt • Bread The quantity and quality were sufficient, and the volume was just right before arriving in Japan. 📸 The well-organized breakfast set looked great under the bright cabin lighting, and it would be Instagram-worthy. ⸻ 🎬 Entertainment and in-flight environment • Large monitor size and touch panel type • Noise-canceling headphones included • The cabin was dark and moody in night mode • Equipped with charging ports, USB, reading lights, etc. ⸻ 🧳 Summary: Flying with Polaris is a worthwhile experience! ✔️ Good points: • Quiet and private seats • High quality bedding, I slept well • In-flight meals were consistently plentiful and tasty • Amenities were plentiful ⸻ You can also earn miles on this flight, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to travel comfortably from America to Asia. United Polaris was an experience that made me want to do it again! #unitedairlines #boeing777 #businessclassreview #inflightmeals #polaris #narita #sanfrancisco #flightreview #airtravel #americanairlines #businessclass #unitedairlines #let'sgooverseas

SG > SFO 15hrs flight. 2hrs transit time at SFO. SFO > YYZ 5hrs flight. Total 22hours travel time Flight was a breeze. No delay from Singapore and arrived 30mins early at SFO. Transit was a rush, l highly recommend to book transit flight with minimum of 2.5hrs so you have ample time to reach your next flight location -SFO entry immigration(we arrived Monday night and the queue took 30-45mins to clear with a Singapore passport) - collect your baggage - recheck your baggage - SFO exit immigration(you gotta show your boarding pass and passport. Scan your hand carry and you personal items process will take around 20-30 mins especially if your bag was flagged for check) - walk to your gate(we are at Gate F21 and walking takes 10-15mins from the immigration) Arriving in Toronto, immigration was fuss free.

#JapanFlightEvent DetailedLocation: San Francisco, CA 94128 United States San Francisco International Airport is a great place to travel anytime. It was nice to look around because there were comfortable seats and various duty-free shops. There were many shops open before boarding the night flight, so it was good to buy snacks or souvenirs.

#favouriteairline First I would like to say thank you to all the staff who was working during my trip. Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. From the start of the trip until the end i felt safe and looked out for. The layover in Amsterdam was lovely! I was not sure what to do for my 12 hours there so decided to take up one of klms lounges available for a fee. It was one of the best decisios and my money was well spent! They have a great website that allows you to easily check requirements for travel unlike some (qatar airways website is horrible and service is non existant) the online chat is very easy to use and the represantatives make sure that your issue is resolved.overall awesome

Domestic flight, California SFO Although it is winter now, some Californians wear short sleeves... There happened to be a game today, and my buddies were very enthusiastic and watched the game at the airport while waiting for the flight. I had dinner at SF Giants tonight. In order to lose weight, I ordered the must-eat Chowder soup and salad in San Francisco, as shown in the second and third pictures. San Francisco International Airport is the place that I remember most vividly. Several years ago, I happened to meet basketball star Kobe Bryant, who was sitting in the San Francisco International Airport eating a hamburger.

i had to catch shutter bus to get to the boarding gate of my next flight here at SFO. but nowadays it seems passengers only have to walk. #sfo

#JapanFlightEvent As soon as I arrived in San Francisco, I felt good seeing the phrase "Welcome to San Francisco" to announce the start of my trip. From the moment I left the airport, I was greeted by the city's vibrant atmosphere and unique architecture, and I could immediately feel the charm of San Francisco itself. Along with the feeling of being warmly welcomed, my anticipation for the trip grew.

#JapanAirlineEvent The AirTrain experience at San Francisco Airport was very convenient. It is free, and moving between major areas of the airport was quick and easy. I took the Blue Line to the rental car center, and the wait time was short, and the train was spacious and comfortable, so I was able to move around without any inconvenience even with a lot of luggage. It was also useful for moving to other terminals in the airport, saving time. The AirTrain was a very efficient means of transportation because the route was clear and easy to find.

#JapanAirlineEvent The process of renting a car at San Francisco Airport was very easy. I was able to get to the rental car center right away by AirTrain, and with my Gold membership, I was able to pick up the car quickly without waiting. It was convenient to move around even with a lot of luggage, and the car was in good condition, which was a great help for my out-of-town trip.

#JapanAirlineEvent The overall experience of renting a car at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) was convenient and satisfactory. The rental car center in the airport was easily accessible via shuttle or AirTrain, making it easy to get around. In particular, the AirTrain directly connects you to the desks of each rental car company, making the route efficient. The quality of service may vary depending on the rental car company, but most of them were able to receive the car quickly. The vehicle options were also diverse, with a wide range of choices from compact cars to SUVs. However, since the rates for airport rental cars may be slightly higher, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance to receive a discount. Since San Francisco has complicated roads and expensive parking fees, it is recommended to carefully plan your car use within the city. However, when crossing the Golden Gate Bridge or traveling to outlying areas such as nearby wineries or Yosemite National Park, renting a car was a great advantage. The vehicles were clean and easy to drive, making the trip much more comfortable.

#JapanAirlineEvent After finishing my one-month trip, the way to San Francisco Airport was a time to look back on my trip and feel regret and the last moments. The view of San Francisco outside the car window before arriving at the airport was a beautiful scenery that I could remember for the last time, and it was sad to leave seeing this scenery at the end of my trip. After arriving at the airport and completing the check-in procedure, while waiting for the flight, all the experiences I had during my trip over the past month flashed through my mind. The people I met and the places I experienced during this trip were still vivid in my memory. Although it was my last moment at San Francisco Airport, it was a time when I also felt anticipation for a new trip.
