What a great vacation! Worth every minute of detailed preparation for travel with my high medical needs guy. Staying at Embassy Suites is always such a treat. Having the two rooms allows Ron to get the sleep he needs, while allowing me to be up and about in the living area without disturbing him. It also gives us the added room we need for all his medical supplies; as well as a refrigerator for TPN storage. Ron did well; a couple of rough nights and one yakking episode but otherwise well. Fortunately, though we had a lot we wanted to do, we were on no timetable, making it easy to accommodate whatever pace he needed.
Thanks to those of you who responded to my request for suggested things to do while in San Francisco; I think we did just about ALL of them!
amazing audio tour of Alcatraz
strolling the quaint streets of Sausalito
trip to Muir Woods to see the giant redwoods
watch the sea lions just off Pier 39 and browse the shops there
pedicab along Fisherman’s Wharf
several trips down Lombard (crookedest) street
Kodak moment in front of the Painted Ladies
ride the cable cars (while singing Rice-A-Roni song, of course!)
yummy splurge at Scoma’s restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf
Sunset Cruise on the Bay featuring close-up look at Golden Gate Bridge
visit several vineyards in Napa Valley
Rubicon Estates Vineyard
But, I must say, my favorite was experiencing Pebble Beach with my hubby! A bittersweet time for him, finally seeing his dream course in person; yet not being physically able to play it. On the advice of a friend, I explained Ron’s condition to those in the Pro Shop and they graciously allowed us to rent a cart and drive the entire course! It was fabulous! Just wish it had been a clear day. Only 2 out of our 6 days did we have blue skies and sunshine. The weather was refreshingly cool; in fact it got downright cold at times! The highest temp while we were there was 60.
