July 06 : Napa Valley


My 2nd trip to San Francisco...and I am not sick of it...in fact, in September 08 I went there again and now 4 months later, I still have the urge to go again. Just so you know, some links in this entry may not work.

..........................................................................................................

Halo, wassup with everyone back home? Seems like I have a feeling that I haven't been writing much these few days but boy oh boy, it has been a activities packed 48 hours for me...

Travelling over 4 different countries from Cambodia - Singapore - Hong Kong - United States..putting up with crazy passenger sitting next to me on plane, thank goodness she alighted at Hong Kong which gives me peace and space to sleep on the plane and guess what? First time ever that I managed to sleep long and well on the plane...

Arrived in SF and was picked up by E, we drove to see his new place in Oakland...work in progress....then drove to meet his fren for a drink...went to bed like 2 am and toss and turn and doesn't know what time I finally fell asleep but only know I woke up when my alarm rang.

Drove to Napa Valley this morning...super duper hot weather up there if you ask me...2 extremes in SF and in Napa...one cold and windy, the other dry and hot. Winery hopped 6-8 of them and drank so much wines, again first time ever in my whole life that I had so many drinks in one day...

Wineries are interesting, some are very classy, some very commercialised, some very hi-tech...each has their own differences and uniqueness. There is one with cable car access and another one is own by the director Fancis Coppola...some of those staff working in the winery are very friendly and approachable, bought a bottle of Gamay and it taste fruity and like fruit punch...yummy...

On the way to Napa, E played a song in his car, great song..good for long road trips, simple lyrics but meaningful and good melody. Found the video for the song on Yahoo Music so I am going to share it with all of you. The song is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, click here for the video or here for the other version (my preferred version). Hope it works and you guys like it too. Surprisingly there was once when I clicked the fast forward button after the end of the video, it replayed with clips from Grey's Anatomy...double happiness for GA fans...umm yep I mean myself...I have never seen some of the scenes that were in the video clip though so it was good catch up..

Booked my Alcatraz and Angel Island tour as well and checked on the flight schedules from SF to Atlanta...to visit M and harrass him for a week...so bro, don't say I don't visit you, this may be the one in a lifetime opportunity for both of us

So while you guys are looking forward to another work week tomorrow, I am going to get myself ready for bed ...another long day tomorrow...going to Monterey and Carmel...will get to see the fabulous Pebble Beach Golf Course.
