San Francisco Travel Tips: 11 Things to Know Before You Go
Things YOU need to know before YOU go to San Francisco in California. San Francisco is the 4th most populated city in California and has a population of 800,000 people. San Francisco is known for year round fog, the golden gate bridge, cable cars, Victorian Houses, sweeping bay views, and of course Alcatraz. One of America's most unique & distinctive cities.
2 - Weather
I refer to San Francisco as the foggy city.
Mark Twain’s famous quote: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”
The weather varies by hour, and by neighborhood. It could be 70 degrees and Sunny in one spot, and 50 degrees with pea-soup fog in the other.
September and October are the warmest and sunniest months.
Wear layers you can easily remove.
3 - Food:
Clam Chowder & Sourdough Bread
Seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf
Little Italy
Chinatown
Koi Palace by San Francisco Airport
Ferry Building for lot’s of local food.
Cowgirl creamery has good cheese.
Ghirardelli for chocolate and ice cream
4 - Hotels:
SF can be quite expensive
Weekends are often cheaper
I like Union Square. Most central, you can take the BART here. Cable car, street cars.
2nd choice: Embarcadero
I dont like fishermans wharf.. too touristy.
Definitely stay within the city.. dont be crossing the bay.
5 - Getting In:
3 Major Airports: SFO, OAK, SJC
SFO is 15 miles South of the city.
A strip of TARMAC surrounded by water.
The main airport, the major airlines all fly here.
Prone to weather delays (FOG)
Taxi or uber will cost about $60 and take between 25-60mins.
BART: $10 to Union Square and 35 mins. BART makes 4 stops in Downtown SF.
Oakland is 25 miles from SF, across the bay. Less foggy, so less delays. Good if you are visiting Napa. Lots of Southwest flights.
San Jose
60 miles south of SF. Good if you are visiting Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Carmel. You can do a one way rental car and return to SFO.
6 - Getting Around:
Cable Car: San Francisco classic from 1873. It’s amazing they still run these.
Best place to ride… on the outside! Want to stop… just yell out you want to stop!
7 - POPOS:
What’s a Popo? Privately owned public open spaces.
They come in the form of urban gardens, plazas, but the best ones are on rooftops.
Neither obvious nor clearly marked, POPOS are all over downtown San Francisco—and everyone is welcome
8 - Chinatown:
SF has the largest Chinatown outside of Asia. It's also the oldest in North America. It is around one mile long by one and a half miles wide. Covers 24 square blocks. More than 100,000 people live in Chinatown. It's the most densely populated neighborhood in the city and in fact the most densely population neighborhood in the US west of Manhattan.
It really is a city within the city. Chinatown has it's own customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity.
Lots of great Dim sum joints, bakeries, tea shops, and this is where the American fortune cookie was invented.
More visitors come to Chinatown than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Portsmouth Square bustles with activity such as T'ai Chi and old men playing Chinese chess.
9 - Fisherman’s Wharf:
Probably the most touristy part of San Francisco, particularly because it’s next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Alcatraz Tours leave from here. Book in advance. More about that in a bit.
Visit Boudin, Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory, and In-N-Out Burger.
They invested the Irish Coffee in the 1950’s at Buena Vista Cafe here.
And of course the Sea Lions
My favorite place is the arcade
10 - Alcatraz:
Probably the most famous prison in the US.
home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, Operated here from 1934 to 1963.
11 - Day Trips
Napa
Santa Cruz
Monterey / Carmel
3 nights in SF, 2 nights in Napa, 2 nights in Monterey/Santa Cruz, and maybe add a night or 2 in Silicon Valley if you are a tech nerd.

Things to do in Nevada Travel Guide | USA Road Trip 2017 Video Transcript:
Our trip began in Las Vegas, but having already been there before, we wasted no time on the Strip. After a short night’s rest, we grabbed a hearty breakfast, hopped in our rental car, and hit the road for our first stop of the day: Lake Mead.
Hoover Dam is one of the most visited attractions in Nevada with as many as 1 million people taking the tour every year, and even more driving across the dam.
Fun fact: there is enough concrete in Hoover Dam to build a 4 foot wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator. That’s a whole lot of concrete!
Kayaking in Black Canyon was the highlight of the day. We lucked out with blue skies, calm waters, and the scenery was pretty spectacular - especially once we entered the canyon.
Halfway up stream we took a break from kayaking and went on a short hike.
We also stopped at the Emerald Cave, which gets it’s name from the bright emerald green colour reflected in the water.
We had an hour’s journey to reach the Valley of Fire that morning, and it was a very leisurely drive down some scenic stretches of road. We knew we were getting closer to the park when we noticed the landscape colours started becoming more saturated.
Once we entered Valley of Fire State Park, the fun began. This park is known for its rock formations, panoramic vistas, and hiking trails, so there was no shortage of things to see and do.
Back on the road, we hit our first stop on the ET Highway: ET Fresh Jerky! This is an alien-themed shop selling everything from martian soda to alien sunglasses, so we used this as an opportunity to load up on snacks.
After stopping for photos at the ET Highway marker which is covered in stickers, we journeyed on to the Alien Research Centre, which is pretty hard to miss considering they have a giant metal alien standing guard on a hill.
Out front, we spotted a UFO-towing pick-up truck and a green alien welcoming earthlings, while inside we were surrounded by Area 51 warning signs and all sorts of alien-themed souvenirs.
And then it was time to turn around, drive back to Vegas, and fly back home,.
A surprise addition to our Nevada travel guide was visiting Red Rock Canyon, which is just a 20-minute drive from the Vegas Strip.
Our final thoughts? There are way more things to do in Nevada than just Las Vegas and we’re glad we got to experience a mix of nature and quirky attractions on this mini USA road trip! If you have any other suggestions of cool things to see and do around the state, feel free to leave your recommendations in the comments below.

Top 10 most amazing places on the earth
10. Uluru the Monolith
9. The Crack of Silfra
8. Fog-shrouded Peaks
7. The Reflecting Desert
6. The Crystal Caverns
5. The Forest of Knives
4. The Fairy Chimneys
3. Devils Tower
2. Subterranean Splendor
1. The Great Blue Hole
10. Uluru
One of the largest monolith in the world, Uluru is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia.
The sandstone formation stands 348 m (1,142 ft) high, rising 863 m (2,831 ft) above sea level with most of its bulk lying underground, and has a total circumference of 9.4 km (5.8 mi)
Known by its Colonial name of Ayers Rock, Uluru is sacred to the Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area.
9. The Crack of Silfra
Located in the Thingvallavatn Lake in the Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, Silfra is part of the Atlantic rift, Where you can dive into the crack between two continental plates-North American and European plates.
With a visibality of more than 100 meters, this place is regarded as one of the best diving sites in the world.
Visitors describe the Silfra diving experience as floating weightlessly through space.
8. Peaks of Meteora
In the greek peninsula you will find a dandy little place called the Meteora Rock Formations.
The nuns and monks have been living in these peaks for centuries, making these breathtaking vistas with its peaks and caverns actual monasteries.
The monasteries remain active to this day, though some peaks remain rather isolated destinations.
7. Salar de Uyuni (The Reflecting Desert)
Located in the Potosí and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi).
When the rains sweep down onto the Uyuni Salt Flats, the entire place becomes an immense reflecting pool.
The rain water is absorbed slowly by the salt, and acts like a mirror, reflecting everything in sight and it seems there is no horizon, which creates an optical illusion in the photographs.
6. Cave of the Crystals
Nearly 300 meters below the Naicha Silver mine of Mexico there lies a crystal cave which contains some of the largest natural crystals ever found.
The cave's largest crystal found to date is 12 m (39 ft) in length, 4 m (13 ft) in diameter and 55 tons in weight.
The cave is extremely hot with air temperatures reaching up to 58 °C (136 °F) with 90 to 99 percent humidity.
5. The Stone Forest of Madagascar
Madagascar, isolated from rest of the world, the island is home to an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth.
Here lies the huge collection of razor sharp vertical rocks. The colossal 'Grand Tsingy' landscape in western Madagascar is the world's largest stone forest
This landscape is the result from the long-term dissolution of soluble limestone bedrock. Formerly a massive slab of rock, rainwater has whittled it down into multiple, individual towers of stone.
4. The Fairy Chimneys
The fairy chimneys of Cappadocia in central Turkey are some of the unearthy things you will find here.
Here, tall spires of stone dot the landscape like some manner of bizarre growth.
Over time, the erosive forces of wind and water wore away much of the underlying soft material, leaving only slender towers with caps of tuff (hardened volcanic ash).
3. Devils Tower
Devils Tower is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River.
The Devils Tower is 1,267 feet (386 m) high and is believed to have formed more than 50 million years ago and remained buried beneath the ground up until roughly 2 million years ago.
Devils Tower was made famous in modern times by the 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but for many moons before that, tribal people had been visiting it, and regarded the area as a sacred site.
2. Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave the largest known cave system in the world with more than 390 miles (628 kilometers) worth of caves worm through the rocky depths.
The Green and Nolin Rivers course more than 30 miles through Mammoth Cave National Park, offering hours of boating, canoeing, fishing, and floodplain camping.
The cave also has an ecosystem, containing more than 130 documented species.
1. The Great Blue Hole
The Great Blue Hole is a large submarine sinkhole off the coast of Belize.
The hole is circular in shape, over 300 m (984 ft) across and 124 m (407 ft) deep.
It is believe that an underlying cave system collapsed under increased pressure some 10,000 years ago due to rising sea levels.

Memphis, Tennessee, United States. History, Economy, Climate
Memphis is the second largest city in the state of Tennessee and the second largest metropolitan area in the state after Nashville. Memphis is an older city. Memphis is one of the most expansive cities in the United States. Memphis is a regional center for commerce, education, media, art, and entertainment.
LOCATION
The state rests in the southeastern portion of the United States. Memphis is on the southwestern corner of Tennessee, with the Mississippi River and the state of Arkansas bordering it to the west and the state of Mississippi to the south.
HISTORY
The city of Memphis was founded on May 22, 1819 (incorporated December 19, 1826) by John Overton, James Winchester and Andrew Jackson. They named it after the ancient capital of Egypt on the Nile River. Memphis developed as a trade and transportation center in the 19th century because of its flood-free location high above the Mississippi River.
Memphis played a prominent role in the American civil rights movement and was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968.
POPULATION
The city's demographics changed dramatically in the 1850s and 1860s under waves of immigration and domestic migration.
CLIMATE
Memphis has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons
Winter weather comes alternately from the upper Great Plains and the Gulf of Mexico, which can lead to drastic swings in temperature. Summer weather may come from Texas (very hot and humid) or the Gulf (hot and very humid). July has a daily average temperature of 82.7 °F (28.2 °C).
Early autumn is pleasantly drier and mild, but can be hot until late October. Late autumn is rainy and cooler.
Winters are mild to chilly, with a January daily average temperature of 41.2 °F (5.1 °C). Snow occurs sporadically in winter.
Memphis is extremely hot in the summertime, and the humidity can make you feel even hotter! Those who have trouble tolerating high heat and humidity may wish to avoid visiting during July or August.
ECONOMY
Since the civil rights era, Memphis has forged forward to become one of the nation's leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics.The city's largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the second-busiest cargo airport in the world.
The city's central geographic location has been strategic to its business development. Located on the Mississippi River and intersected by five major freight railroads and two Interstate Highways. Memphis is ideally located for commerce in the transportation and shipping industry.
its outlying areas were developed as cotton plantations, and the city became a major cotton market and brokerage center.
