First stop of our western USA road trip: Palm Springs – a desert resort city within the Coachella Valley, California My flight from New York to Palm Springs was around 9 hours, including stopovers. Arriving at the Palm Springs Int’l Airport is a lovely way to start your vacation. With its open-air concourse, cute shops, easy-to-navigate size,…

The Corona Heights Park is a hidden gem in the Castro and Corona Heights neighborhoods of San Francisco, California. You get a great view of San Francisco downtown and the bay for just a little work. The hike up, which will probably take you 15 minutes, is a bit steep but well worth it for…
Windmill, lake, botanical gardens, people sleeping under the tree, people running around, people walking their dogs, ducks swimming in the lake, paddle boats, guys meeting for a martial arts practice, a biking path from the beginning of the park all the way to the Ocean Beach.. It seems like the Golden Gate Park has it…
The Ocean Beach is a nice place to walk, either along the beach or along the sidewalk. The beach is very easy to locate since it is situated on the west end of San Francisco next to the Cliff House. I took my shoes off and walked on the warm sand. However, the water is…

One of the nicest things about San Francisco, a city where there is so much to do and see, is its geographically small size which means that you can visit do and see a lot in a short span of time. It was a very fine day when we decided to roam around the city.…

Around 12 NN After eating our…
Yesterday, I went to the Yosemite National Park, which is located in Yosemite Village, California. Coming from Tracy, CA, it took us around two hours and a half to reach the said park. There is an entrance fee of 20 USD for each vehicle but you can also avail the whole year package which can…
