Vacation Critique


I recently just came home from the great city of San Francisco, where I went for my spring break. San Francisco is known for its tourist attractions and friendly people. Today I will be describing my trip to San Francisco by critiquing the places I saw, things I did, and the "friendly" people of San Francisco. 

My family and I started our journey to San Francisco by flying out of Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday. When arriving at the airport low and behold my sister had forgotten her license, with her being no longer a minor caused a bit of a problem. With only a student ID card and traveling with my parents the trip to San Francisco went surprising smoothly. On the way back from San Francisco was not even close to easy breezy. We left on Thursday, my sister and I flew back alone from San Francisco with just her student ID my sister had to go through extra scanning and security bag check. The trip back home was long and just made me happy to finally be home.

While in San Francisco we visited all the big hot spot tourist attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, The Wharf, Ghirardelli Factory and Marin National Forest. Along with our personal segway tour around Golden Gate National Park, and walking The Wharf to different shore stores and restaurants. All these places I visited, ate at, and things I did were all a great an experience that I am glad to have done, but some where better than others. I would have to say my Top 3 things I did was first Alcatraz, second segway tour, and third Marin National Forest. 

When on the Wharf I was able to be apart of the whole San Francisco surrounding which of course included its "friendly" people. I would have to say with just walking and driving the Wharf everyday, the people their were not so "friendly." The busy traffic and many stop lights I know would make me angry but really do you have to honk your horn literally 1 second after the light turns green or a car moves an inch... I don't think so "friendly" people of San Francisco. Walking the Wharf I found many interesting people that I am not very used to seeing Iowa. 

My overall experience in San Francisco was a good one! I enjoyed the many things I saw and learned. It was a life time experience that I hope one day all of you are fortunate to go. I know that everyone would love what it has to offer. I know I did and believe me, you won't be disappointed.

Twitter

1. I use twitter like I use facebook. I use it to post about what I am doing or to communicate to friends. I also use it to find out what other people are doing and to follow "famous" people.

2. Benefits that I see in using twitter is that your able to follow people that could help you start your business or help your business. It can help promote your business. Helps you stay connected with people.

3. Drawbacks in using twitter is that it can be addicting. I have found myself being on it for to long and wasting away valuable time. Another drawback is you don't use it the right way and post things you shouldn't post that could hinder getting a job in the future.
