Oh by the way . We're on rental car number 3 . First car was rented in LA a mustang convertible. Passenger rear window wouldn't go all the way up and left a 3/8 gap between the two pieces of side glass. It was traded in in Burbank for another mustang convertible. We got 5 miles down the road and saw that it had the same problem. We chose to keep going and live with it . We went the Winchester house today, came out after the tour and found we had a flat tire.. Popped the truck and found only and air pump that worked of the cigarette litter or power port . How this is supposed to help if you shredded a tire. It barley helped with a puncture. We had 20 to get to the nearest rental car place where we could trade it in. We had to stop every 5 minutes in San Jose' traffic. It was 4 or 5 times .to air it back up. Turned it in and they gave up the option of another mustang or a Camaro convertible. Took the Camaro and went straight to a In and Out Burger . For a fast food burger , it was great . Put the top down and drove back down to Santa Cruz setting up to get back to the PCH.Previously HoosierL98GTA

Spent most the day at Alcatraz and on a cruise around the bay. I would put up some pics but on my new phone it just takes so much time unless I do like I did the last few times and post a page of photos at a time. And you could just search for Alcatraz pics on the Internet and probably see better pics than I got . If I get a big enough complaint I'll do it .Previously HoosierL98GTA

Yesterday was a bust. Wanted to walk across the Golden Gate bridge but the parks or rest stop parking lots were closed off to everything but busses. So on to our second planned activity Mir Woods to see some big trees ,denied again . Had to have a parking reservation. Bummed we get got a hotel room near to airport and crash early for getting up at 3:15 am. Ready to be home to spacious Indiana . It was fun though.Previously HoosierL98GTA

I spent a few days in S.F. the week they first shut the place down for covid, it was utterly ridiculous what they did and everybody had to know the disruption was going to be harmful. It's a shame how the city has gone downhill after that but you got to see some good points.

Yeah , no real regrets. Just landed in Minneapolis . Nice to have my feet back on the ground . But we'll be going up again in about 30 minutes. We road 737s on the way out and back to here. I really am clueless on flying and airports so I just go where my wife points me . It'd be nice to be on a smaller plane . But the 737 seems quite abit smaller than the 747s and L1011s I've flown in the passed so we probably won't get smaller.Previously HoosierL98GTA
