dress lightly if your going through airport security.....
Very nice story BV. I believe your talking about the Sheraton Palace. A very old San Francisco hotel with a lot of history...and no I can't afford to stay there either.Quote

Happy Thanksgiving!
Don't remember if I told this story before, but I had this great Thanksgiving day in San Francisco 2006, and I miss that great mood and day every year, wish I could just fly out and have the same feeling every year...
I had been staying downtown LA Wednesday November 22, 2006 for the Stones show there. Downtown LA is so boring, I got a flight out of LAX at 6am, very early. Landed in SFO i.e. San Francisco an hour later and checked into San Francisco Palace, which I can never afford unless I go on business, but this was Thanksgiving. I wanted some extra luxury. Nice big room. Got my room at 8am which is luxury. So many presidens have been staying there I don't know how many.
As I walked though the fantastic lobby area I noticed the ballroom had nice plates and seating for a real luxury dinner. Posters said Exclusive Thanksgiving Dinner. I asked what it was about and they told me it was full. But as I lived in the hotel so I was in....
I walked the empty city of SF all day. McDonalds was closed. First time I have seen that. The homeless were not to be seen. Shops closed. Just some odd foreign tourists. I had SF on my own and it was so nice and quiet, almost like a city at 5am before anyone wake up.
Time for the luxury dinner at 7pm. Families around me who dined out for Thanksgiving. I was on my own, but as Thanksgiving is not something special for me, I just enjoyed the mood and the food and the nicely dressed families. I stayed there eating and drinkimng for more than three - 3 - hours, never had such a great meal on my own, and I could not eat one little bit anymore. But the memory is there still, and San Francisco Palace is highly recommended for anyone who need some rest and relax, and can afford one night in luxury...
May be on another tour. I will be back then. For sure...
Happy Thanksgiving!
2 for the price of one. Cooooooool. But how much is the small one?

Happy Thanksgiving all my American friends.Just seen a clip on English TV over here in Spain of Kirk Douglas and his lovely wife.This icon of the 20th- 21st century was serving food and hospitality at the LA mission.What a Guy!!!At 93, Kirk and his wife are so nice and patriotic to have given their time to the needy. ><
