Travel Thursdays –San Francisco

USA is the first country I traveled outside India. I traveled on a Thanks giving weekend (2004). I was traveling alone and I watched many movies and slept peacefully in the flight, I never traveled for such a long time in the air other than the domestic flights I took within India. I traveled by Singapore airlines and it is one of the best flights I have experienced so far, I didn’t have any problems. I landed in San Francisco, the excitement I had was truly amazing. I felt everything extremely pleasing when I got to experience them from the airport to cab to roads to apartment. I get to experience my first winter which wasn’t anyways so bad compared to rest of the US, I get to experience how organized everything was, cars moved following lanes and rules, I get to experience variety of foods, people and there were so many first time for me in that trip. Sweet memories!!

I was browsing through my iPhone pictures and came across these pictures, which I took last year when we flew to SFO on our way to India. I have traveled many times to and fro from SFO and each time it brings me back my memories from my first trip. I no longer is amazed with things, may be because I got used to it also India is advanced a lot in last few years compared to the time I traveled first time. Looking at the city and the golden gate bridge is an experience of its own. Do you agree?
