Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Visiting the Golden Gate, San Francisco

1 of 3

The day promised sun and warmth, so I got the bus at around 9.45and found my way to the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. I approach through a tacky gift shop, up some steps and through a gate - with a sign saying that you can't walk on the bridge at night - but you can cycle - hmmmmmIt has turned into a warm day, but as I star...

Hi, I'm a compulsive overeater, recovered one day at a time by the grace of my HP, the help of my Sponsor, and the fellowship of Overeaters Anonymous.First I have to say that I can't ever remember being "normal" with food. I always remember being the biggest, even at junior school. One of my very early memories (I was around ... More..

Travel > United States Finding entertainment in Branson, Missouri

1 of 2

I visited Branson for a 2 night stay in September 2007, not really knowing what to expect from this well know tourist resort. I arrived after a long hard drive, and first of all my SatNav took me to the wrong hotel! But after that was sorted out I settled in to the Best Western Center Point inn, which I'd chosen as it seemed ... More..

Forest Park, St Louis, is an open space like no other. Originally designed for the 1904 World Fair (of "meet me in St Louis, Louis" fame) it is very well maintained and looked after by the City of St Louis - and it's free all day every day.Arriving at the parking lot and walking over to the visitor center, I'm welcomed by a g...

Travel > United States Travel destination: Meramec Caverns, Missouri

1 of 1

My first visit to Meramec Caverns was on a quiet day in October, when it appeared no one else wanted to visit! We arrived in the large car park to find in almost totally empty, but never daunted, we went into the center to buy our tickets. The entrance is dominated by a statue of Jesse James, the notorious (famous?) robber, w... More..

9 of 9

of many, losing weight is not the issue - anyone can lose weight! But it is the issue of being in control of your weight. For most normal eaters, it probably is a question of just cutting down a little, but there is a class of people who are actually incapable of "cutting down" - I know, because I'm one of them. For the compu... More..

It is a cloudy day in San Francisco (no, not foggy, cloudy!) and we have our tickets to go to Alcatraz.We get on the ferry over along with hundreds of others! and I was going to stand outside to video but it started to rain.

Travel > United States Travel destinations: Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri

4 of 4

The Gateway Arch dominates St Louis, and those of us who love the city always feel a sense of coming home as we sight the Arch way in the distance. Its actual height is also enhanced by being right on the waterfront alongside the Mississippi River, and from the City itself you get the most wonderful views as you move between ... More..

Local Guides > San Francisco Public transport in San Francisco, California

2 of 2

I'm sure we've all heard of the cable cars - so I'll start with them. And the truth is - they are a load of fun! There are 3 routes, 2 starting at Market and going over the hills to the Bay, and these are the really touristy ones. The other - the California Cable Car - runs in a straight line alone California to Van Ness. Int... More..
