This was our day for exploring San Francisco, but it would be a day that neither of us would forget on our return from Alcatraz.

California Day 8/9
It was a restless night – with so much noise around the hotel it meant it was difficult to sleep. At around 04:30 there were loud banging noises that sounded like large metal containers being moved. Eventually though it was time to get up and head to the airport, having had only 3 to 4 hours of sleep at best. Due to how early we were leaving it meant having breakfast at the airport – fortunately …

The taxi turned up late, but I was still at the airport in plenty of time to drop off my bags. Even though I’d checked in online and ha …

SDCC 2013 Day 5
Although I didn’t need to check out until 10:00 or be at the airport until 13:00 I decided to get up relatively early to allow time to get the last few items packed ready for flying. I couldn’t pack entirely as I was still waiting for that friend’s drink he wanted me to take back to England with me and he’d got in late and wasn’t awake at the time. Can’t blame him though, he’d been up late watchi …

Today was all about seeing the off-site parts of San Diego Comic Con - of which there is a lot. This event practically takes over this entire part of the city.

SDCC 2013 Day 1
The journey from Leicester to San Diego was long, going via both Frankfurt and LAX. When I got there, I had no chance to rest, ideally I needed to adjust to this timezone fast.
