Hey Nairalanders, it’s Ms Travelin Diva and I just returned from San Francisco. I was in the Bay Area for a few days and below are the deets (slang for details) of my trip!

Lodged at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco which is across the street from the ferry building which made it VERY convenient if you’re going to be taking the ferry to any of the neighboring islands.

Day 1:
Took Ferry to Sausalito (Cost is $7.50 pp w/Clipper Card each way)
Enjoyed an amazing cup of vanilla lavender lattes at Firehouse
We toured the Sausalito Fire department, they even allowed the kids to take a ride around the block in the fire engine trucks, very cool!
Enjoyed lunch at Zalta where we had THE BEST sangrias, followed by delish tequila cocktails at “the unknown bar”
Took the ferry back to San Francisco right before sunset, and enjoyed dinner and cocktails at Hog Island Oysters Co, the best oysters hands down in the Bay Area!
Later that night, I enjoyed a late nightcap at Wilson & Wilson detective agency (it’s a speakeasy - secret bar) and the drinks were VERY good and vibe and atmosphere was so lit!

Stay tuned for day 2!

Seating onboard the ferry, sailing on the bay and that delicious cup of Joe!

The famous Golden Gate Bridge, a quick hike into town upon arrival in Sausalito followed by a delicious glass of Sangria!

Drinks in Sausalito at the unknown bar!

While relaxing at the pier, this friendly bird kept us company!

Stay safe! The Bay Harbor Butcher is on the loose

Great question! No, actually none of my drinks contained high sugar levels. For example, the Bloody Mary is made with tomato juice, vodka, hot sauce and other herbs and spices. This Sangria was Pinot Grigio wine muddled with fresh fruit. The older I have gotten the more sensitive my system is to sugary drinks (this is one of the reasons why I stopped drinking soda pop 8 years ago). I like my drinks/cocktails strong with minimal sweetness to balance out the palate.

Wow eight years! Me here just started three months ago. I'm not that old but I believe it's the right thing. In addition no biscuits, no chewing gum.

I had no issues in my 20’s and younger, but in my 30’s it was wrap on soda for me. I work in healthcare and participated in a demonstration to show “literally” how much sugar is within our drinks, and it changed my life. It’s like liquid diabetes over time!

Hello, is there a way I can contact you? Like a mail or something.

It's a very beautiful place. I love the U.S. because it has very beautiful natural scenery. I saw something similar in Florida, when I vacationed there on a Jupiter fishing guides with friends. It was one of the best trips I've been on in a long time.
