Cool lighting
Funny and entertaining safety video
Cool menu
Touchscreens to order food, drinks, Ibuprofen! That's delivered to your seat.
Speaking of drinks...Absinthe! Not a good idea on the plane.
We got to the hotel and actually it was very nice. Bedbugs aside, I would actually stay there again. They rectified the situation very quickly, and having had NUMEROUS experiences with bedbugs before, I could tell this was just VERY bad luck and a one-off thing. The hotel otherwise was very clean, tidy and quaint and our new room certainly did not have bedbugs (I made sure of that but anyway).
The nightly happy hour of free booze was a nice touch.
Great location too, right on Market and Powell, steps from the BART station and the cable car stop. And in the same building complex as Sephora, Forever 21 and DSW.
We had a quick, hearty lunch at a restaurant called Max's.
The moseyed down to the Warfield where I listened to Faith No More rehearsing through the doors.
However, after talking to the FNM roadies, it actually wasn't them rehearsing in there but the house band. But we still made some friends from that conversation, connections that would come in handy later :)
PS those pants I'm wearing are the perfect travel pants. Silk, doesn't wrinkle easily and feels liks you're wearing your comfiest yoga pants. So comfy AND stylish!
Silk pants: Victorias Secret; Jacket: H&M; Halter: F21; Sandals: Go Jane; Bag: F21
PS COACHELLA POSTS COMING UP SOON!
I have friends who have flown Virgin to London and now refuse to fly anyone else. They are that amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose pants do look comfy!
Cute photos! love the one from the plane. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteHow are their prices compared to other airlines? I hear they have good food too! I don't know that selling absinthe on a plane for the low price of $8 is a good idea haha
ReplyDeleteWoah that plane ride DOES look awesome. The ibuprofen thing is hilarious too.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask which hotel you stayed at? Free booze is always a winner with me ;-)
You know, I absolutely hate flying (and am terrified of it, too), but I actually think I'd find it almost bearable on a plane like that, although the danger would be that I'd never be able to fly with anyone else ever again!
ReplyDeleteThe hotel looks fabulous, too, bed bugs aside. We're hoping to get to Sn Fransisco next year, so always interested in people's travel stories there!
MissJ - $80 one way from Seattle to San Fran! Great prices.
ReplyDeleteI believe they are opening up routes to Vancouver and Toronto this year (but of course Seattle will ALWAYS be cheaper).
DID I MENTION WI-FI ON BOARD??
Kelly - The Powell Hotel. I don't blame them for the bedbugs, it happens, I should know.
I'm just happy that they were able to handle the situation delicately and without any drama cuz LORD KNOWS I had more than enough stress at that point.
So I appreciated that from the hotel.
Ok, I just spent way too long reading all about the epicness that was your vacay while I should have been sleeping. You have some crazy stories!!!!! Love them...haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd ewwww...bedbugs, nothing gives me the creepies more...
Wifi while flying - Good idea!!
ReplyDeleteAbsinthe while flying... questionable idea. hahaa no acutally it's awesome. Mike's got quite the cool background combo there. I had no idea what guyanese was though, what is wrong with me?
I just creeped all your Scotland archives on your travel blog. I've looked up so much Scotland facts I feel as though I've already been there!
Hi gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip!
