365 Day Meme: Day 8: Things That Make You Sad

Death, pain, suffering of anyone and anything. Being criticized or disappointing people. Not being liked. Environmental destruction. Losing people from my life. Unrequited love (not just romantic). Plans to which I was looking forward being canceled. Darkness. Being alone. Looking bad in photographs (since I think that must be how other people typically see me and I then feel inferior. Doing poorly on something on which I worked hard.

San Francisco

Well, we decided on going to San Francisco. The tickets are purchased. We will be staying at the Radisson by Fisherman's Wharf. Fisherman's Wharf apparently has seals (roped off) flopped around on the shore, which I would like to see. It also has a big open marketplace and the aquarium is located there. The hotel we will stay at also has an IHOP inside, which is food both Michael and I will consume. We can eat there if we get overloaded or don't feel like going out. The trolleys and buses stop at Fisherman's Wharf and we probably will take the BART system from the airport to the stop that will have a bus/trolley take us to Fisherman's Wharf, where we can walk to our hotel. We also want to take public transportation to Chinatown and Japantown -- also the San Francisco Zoo, if we have time. We will be staying four full days (we arrive a little before 10am and the flight back is at 11:55pm). I think we will have enough time to do all this... It's all in the same city and there is a lot of public transportation. We are going April 1 (Friday) until April 4 (Monday). We will be back home the morning of April 5. I'm getting a little less nervous. My mother has been to San Francisco before. We will travel light and probably just bring one small suitcase (in addition to our backpacks). The flights are non-stop, which is nice.
