Day 1: Fly to San Francisco<br />
Fly directly from London (regional connections<br />

to Intercontinental Mark Hopkins (or similar),<br />
a beloved landmark and historic property, for a<br />
3-night stay. (N)<br />
Day 2: San Francisco<br />
Today is dedicated to visiting some of San<br />
Golden Gate Bridge and city skyline, San Francisco<br />
Francisco’s most famous landmarks. Spend<br />
a full day touring the city, with visits to Union<br />
Square, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf,<br />
Lombard Street, Golden Gate Park and North<br />
