So 3900 miles later we landed at Heathrow at 2.30pm the following day after just over 10 hours in the air and adding 8 hours’ time difference. To say we were knackered was an understatement but we pushed on through the airport but had to wait for ages for the bags to come out but wait we did and eventually they arrived so now all as we had to do was head through customs and get in the taxi that we had booked to take us home. One thing we did notice when we arrived was that it was 25 degree in San Francisco when we left and just above freezing here so that was a bit of a shock after two weeks away. So from Heathrow to home takes about an hour and a half but I think after about 20 minutes in the taxi I had fallen asleep and had the best hour or so nap, by the time we got to our front door of was around 4:30pm and all as we wanted to was go to bed but had no food in so I then had to go up to the shop just to get some milk, bread and a few things for sandwiches, we could get the rest the following day. Now all as we wanted to go to bed, I don’t know if it’s just because I’m getting older but this time the flight seemed to take it out of me more than normal.
So now it’s back to normal until we go to Chicago in a few months’ time, one thing we did learn is that we both love being in San Francisco and will keep on going back over the years, until next time SF, we will see you then and thanks for the memories. One thing I do know is that San Francisco is our favorite place in the USA so far, the weather is always fine even in the winter and it feels like a safe place to be in most locations even at night plus there is still lots more places for us to explore further afield in Oakland and Marin County.
So apart from the ill health at the start of the holiday, it was a really enjoyable time spent there.
See you next time SF…… Soon.
