Greetings from San Francisco!

Hello, and welcome from the home of the golden gate bridge. Well, dont expect this to be a regular occurance but as the gang havent arrived yet and im on my own i have time for a quick post. The flight over was very easy and i found the hostel easily (it is a grid just like vancouver after all). I even got upgraded free to "economy plus" whatever that is! But it meant free leg room and more drinks! I have to admit i did feel slightly lost arriving here on my own, but i decided to walk around the city for a good 4 hours to get my bearings and i have a reasonable idea where I am now! That cheered me up and tomrrow if the weathers nice im going to rent a bike and cycle over the bridge, that should be fun! A guy in my room just happens to be from Newcastle! (what are the chances!!) So we're heading off tonight for a couple beers and a game of pool, smashing
