Izzywiz Posted March 19, 2021 #727 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Our last stop before the airport was at Liberty Market which was a shopping mall that had been created in the 'historic' Naval barracks... I hope that I can join you all on the next section of this world cruise! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted March 19, 2021 #728 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’ve been to San Diego, as part of a two centre holiday in the 90’s. we spent a week in Los Angeles, and then drove down to San Diego. I really liked San Diego. I remember the Zoo, Seaworld, the Coronado Bridge and the Spanish Art Village. We stayed at a beach hotel, and watched the sun set over the Pacific each evening, Unfortunately, this was pre digital days, so the photos are in the loft. One advantage of digital is that photos are so easily accessible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted March 19, 2021 #731 Share Posted March 19, 2021 We have not been to San Diego so its another At Sea day for us. May well be the same tomorrow as I think our SF days were pre digital. Probably just as well as I am gardening while it is dry 🤞 and if rained off am transferring my offsite backup pics from Google Drive to Google photos which is a nightmare!. 🤬 Will catch up and see what you have all been up to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzywiz Posted March 20, 2021 #734 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Your photos of San Francisco brought back lots of happy memories of the 2 visits we made in the 1990s with our son. We haven't visited on a cruise ship though and would love to sail under the Golden Gate. My pictures are very old and we look so young!!! I've lost a lot of the pictures over the years and these are from our first visit in1991 We went again in 1996 and went across to Saucelito for a day Our last visit was in 2004 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted March 20, 2021 #735 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We visited San Francisco in 2017. We did two legs of a world cruise from Singapore to San Francisco. We sailed into SF on a perfect morning and the whole ship was out on deck for the sail in. We visited Alcatraz and Carmel on our tour and then walked round the Pier 39 area. WE flew home the next day, but if we had stayed on board we would have gone into the city. The whole cruise was an amazing experience for us, and SF was the cherry on top of the cake 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee-ess Posted March 21, 2021 #743 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Vancouver - we only had an overnight here between Rocky Mountaineer and Alaska Cruise, most of photos taken from the hotel. Didn't have time to do any sightseeing here. Edited March 21, 2021 by bee-ess 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulanis Posted March 21, 2021 #744 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) It is not possible to do Vancouver justice on a port visit, Would be difficult to do it all in a month! if including the surrounding areas. Here we go around Vancouver in ~20 pictures LOL -2010 in no particular order a few odd bits from 350 shots.

Grumpycruiser60plus Posted March 21, 2021 #745 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Vancouver, August 2006, my 1st digital camera🤞, we were there for a few days, both prior/post to our HAL cruise up into Alaska, felt very comfortable walking around too. Pics are of Stanley park, Grouse mountain etc. Would love to return one day. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted March 21, 2021 #746 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Thank you for the pictures of Vancouver. Once again, they bring back many happy memories. Our first visit was in 1996 and was a 25th wedding anniversary celebration. We did a land tour of the east coast and then flew from Toronto to Calgary to continue the land tour over the Rockies to Vancouver. my dearest and best friend married a Canadian and she moved to Canada straight after her wedding which was 2 weeks after ours. We were bridesmaid for each other. I hadn't seen her for 25 years and she and her husband drove 1,000 miles to see us for 1 night in Banff. We now, of course, keep in touch via FaceTime but I will never forget that magical meeting in Banff. We both celebrate our 50th anniversaries in June this year and were hoping to meet up for a holiday together but sadly Covid has scuppered that plan..... We spent a couple of days in Vancouver at the end of the tour and my husband went sea fishing on the day we flew home. He caught a salmon which was packed up for us and we enjoyed the steaks for the following Sunday for dinner at home ... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted March 21, 2021 #747 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Our second and longer visit to Vancouver was in 2007 and was part of an extended trip to North America. We stayed with cruising friends in Kalamazoo, USA, and then with my lovely friend in Regina, Canada, before doing the Rocky Mountaineer from Calgary to Vancouver. One of the strangest things was seeing a cricket match taking place in Stanley park with totem poles in the background..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzywiz Posted March 21, 2021 #748 Share Posted March 21, 2021 We did a day trip to Whistler on the Whistler Mountaineer (don't tell anyone but I actually preferred that journey to the one on the Rocky Mountaineer) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
