Prices Raise For Homes In San Francisco Bay Area

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:39:54 +0000

Since I’ve lived in San Francisco for a very long time, I only have good things to say about it. The weather is beautiful, the people are great, and there’s always something going on. Nothing can be better, which is why I suggested to my sister that she should move here. She’s been looking into where to move for a while now, and I finally convinced her that this really is a great area. She wasn’t exactly sure which area to move to, but I told her that there really wasn’t a bad area. We spent a lot of time in April just going to different areas of San Francisco, trying to find an affordable home.

One thing we found out when it comes to prices of homes in this area, is that the bay area is definitely one of the most expensive parts. This was confirmed when I read this article, so I’m glad we didn’t waste more time looking at homes there. This was at least for the month of April, so hopefully the prices will drop now that it’s May.

My sister did find an affordable home in another area, not far from me. She’s very happy with it!

Moving To London

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:22:08 +0000

I’m about to go through a major change in my life. I’ve been living in San Francisco for basically my whole life, and I will be moving to London for job reasons. It’s definitely going to be an adjustment, but it’s definitely going to be worth it. I went there on a trip, and I instantly fell in love with it, which is why I wasn’t upset when I was told that I was going to have to move so far away. To get a little more familiar with the area, I decided to take a trip back there just two weeks ago. I thought this was also a great time to start apartment hunting.

I knew that London was going to be a great place to live, and my assumption was confirmed by a couple who has lived there for a very long time. The couple is Robert and Polly Arnold, and they only have positive things to say about living there. They know all of the insider spots, and they can give advice for those who live there or are just in the area.

Have you ever wanted to visit London or do you visit London often? Then you can understand when I say that London is such a great place to live. Hunting for London apartments was quite an experience, because one was nicer than the next.

If you visited London in the past did you enjoy it? Because I know I enjoy it, and will enjoy it even more, once I live there. Once I choose between all of the London apartments that are just stunning, I will be living my dream.

Gasoline Prices Drop

With the summer approaching, this means that there will be more and more travelers. This also means that these people are also going to need to be gassing up their car. The gas prices have been known to raise during this time of massive travel. This might have even stopped some from actually traveling by car, due to the fact that they just can’t afford to spend a lot of money on gas. I was one of these people who felt this way for the past few summers, and I even had to give up on some trips because of this. I’ve had to go on vacation during the off season, which wasn’t very convenient when it comes to my work schedule. I told myself that I was going to save some money, just so I would be able to go this year during the spring or summer.

I will be leaving for my trip tomorrow, and I was glad to find out that this will be during the time when gas prices are actually low. I will be driving from San Francisco to Carmel beach, so I definitely chose the right time to go.

San Francisco High Schools

I’ve been looking into moving, but have had a hard time deciding exactly where. I know that I want to stay in California, but there are so many great areas. I’ve narrowed my choices down to five towns, but I’m leaning towards San Francisco after reading this article. It says that there are seven High Schools in the area, that were ranked in the 5 percent of the best. Although my kids are little kids right now, I want to move somewhere that I will be able to live for a while. This is why the quality of the schools will definitely be a factor when it comes to choosing a town to move to.

I went to a school system that really wasn’t that great, and I want something much better for my kids. I’m going to continue to do my research on different town’s school systems, but I will be keeping San Francisco in mind for sure.

My Trip To California and Florida

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:30:42 +0000

I just got back from my month long trip, and I’m actually sad that I’m back at home. I’m usually happy that it’s time to come home from vacation, but not this time! I just didn’t want to leave, just because everything was so perfect. I started off the trip visiting San Francisco, which was quite an experience. It was my first time, and I didn’t know what to expect. I knew it was going to be great, but it definitely was even better than I would have thought it was going to be. There was never a dull moment at the resort, so I didn’t even have to leave the property to do anything.

The next part of the trip took place in Florida. I visited a friend of mine at her home, which was breathtaking. She lives at The Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club, and everything was absolutely amazing. It was nice to be able to wake up and sip my coffee while overlooking the water. Everything about the club was so relaxing, but there fun activities going on as well. It was great that I was able to stay in shape, even though I was on vacation. I did this by participating in the group fitness classes, which was a fun time. I could go on and on about everything that the club offers. I will definitely be planning a trip back soon to the lovely Florida resort.

Golden Gate Bridge 75th Anniversary

If you already have plans for this Memorial Day, then you might want to cancel them. That’s the weekend of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. It will be a day of festivities of fun, and the whole family should attend. It’s hard to believe that the bridge opened in 1937, and it really calls for a day to celebrate. Getting to the festival is easy, especially if you are in the San Francisco area. You don’t even need to drive anywhere, as you can just take public transportation. This is going to be the easiest way to get there anyway.

The festival will be rather large, so you definitely won’t run out of things to do. It will be about four miles long, which will take place in the beautiful San Francisco overlooking the water. It’s going to be a day to remember, and of course a day to have fun with friends and family.

San Francisco Sunday Streets

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 16:03:41 +0000

I love living in San Francisco for many reasons, as do my friends and family. I especially enjoy living here, because it’s such a great place to raise a family. My kids love that there’s always some type of event going on. There’s never a dull moment, which is exactly what my energetic kids need. All three of them have fun doing separate things, and my youngest child who’s three years old is happy just walking around town with me. This is why I was happy when I found out that there will be more San Francisco Sunday Streets, which means that streets are shut down on certain days and times in the area. This is great news so my son and I can take our Sunday stroll, and not have to worry about about cars. San Francisco traffic can surely be a pain, so this is definitely good news for everyone.

My Trip To San Francisco

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 15:46:37 +0000

I recently got back from my trip to San Francisco, and it was a vacation that I will never forget. It was my first time visiting the area, and I’m already planing to go back soon. From the hotel, to the weather, everything was perfect. I live in New Jersey, so the weather at home was in the upper 40′s. I remember getting off the plane in California, and I couldn’t believe how nice the weather was. I was already relaxed from my flight, of course because I flew Southwest. There’s just something about that airline that just gets me off to a great start on my vacation. I love Southwest, and I try to use them whenever I fly somewhere. The seats are so comfortable, and the flight attendants actually care about your needs. I tend to have high expectations when it comes to my vacations, so there’s no question of which airline I will fly, if Southwest goes to where I’m going.

Once I got to the airport, everything continued to be smooth sailing. My limo driver was there to pick me up, and then he showed me what he was going to be driving me to the hotel in. I had made reservations for a small car, because it was just going to be for myself. Apparently the company ran out of town cars that night, and then I saw the Lincoln Navigator limo which was so luxurious, and I didn’t want to get out of the car once we got to my hotel. However once I saw my high class resort, I didn’t have any trouble getting out of the limo. I had never seen such a nice hotel. The suite was seriously bigger than my apartment back in Jersey, and I live with two roommates!

I would be talking until tomorrow morning if I told you everything that I loved about my vacation, so I’ll just give you a little bit more of a brief summary. When I wasn’t spending time in my hotel that I pretty much didn’t ever want to leave, I was eating all different type of cuisines. I then went sightseeing, and I actually learned a lot. This is pretty unusual for me, because I tend to want to just relax on my vacations. I thought that being alone for a week would get lonely, but it was actually very relaxing. I needed some time to get away from the chaos from work, family, and just the every day stress. Now that I’m back, I feel rejuvenated and I would suggest everyone goes away by themselves. Even if it’s only for a day or two, it will make you feel great.

Most Influential Women In Buisness

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 15:26:18 +0000

Being that I have a passion for anything business-like, it’s definitely a major part of my life. Getting any reward for anything business related would be such an honor, and I hope one day I could have that opportunity. Even though I hope that one day this does happen, I’m aiming to even get a small award. I know that there are many successful women in the business world, and it’s a very competitive world out there. I recently read this article, which was about two women who were named as to of the “Most Influential Women In Business”.

The two women were given this name by Golden Gate University in San Francisco. I could imagine how great they must feel to be able to have been given such a title like they did. They will be my role models, and maybe one day I will actually be as successful as them. Even if that’s not possible, I would be happy with any type of recognition for anything I’ve done.

Sports Town Once More

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 05:37:17 +0000

There was once a time where San Francisco boasted the worlds best football team, the San Francisco 49ers, but in recent seasons the team hasn’t been playing up to their usual levels. The 49ers have such a storied history, from the Joe Montana years, to the teams that Steve Young, that it is understandable that the fans have been angry with their recent play. In a different part of town, the San Francisco Giants also have a storied history, from the Willie Mays years, to Barry Bonds much talked about career. Like their football counterpart, the Giants have also recently fallen into hard times.

Fast forward to the present day, and the change in the air in San Francisco has changed dramatically. The 49ers were 1 game away from the Super Bowl last season (with a rookie head coach), and with a top 5 defense in the league, the future looks bright for the red and gold. When you add in that they play in a very winnable division, there is hope that the dominance of past 49ers teams will come back with a vengeance. As for the Giants, after missing the playoffs for 7 straight years, made a surprising run in 2010 to the World Series, and defeated the Texas Rangers 4 games to 1 to win their first World Series since the 1950s. With a mixture of youth and experience, the Giants pitched their way to the title. It doesn’t hurt to have the games best pitcher in Tim Linceum. At only 27 years old, the Giants have an ace that should be dominant for many years to come, and hopefully bring the city of San Francisco another title in the near future.

So calm down residents of the “city by the bay”, it’s a great time to live in San Francisco. The good years are seemingly back on the horizon, as the Giants and 49ers have bright futures ahead of them. Both teams have the youth to sustain an extended period of success, and the cushion of playing in a division that isn’t up to par with others in each sport. The fans have a reason to be excited again for the boys in gold and red, and the boys in orange and black.
