San Francisco Wedding Record + 13-Day 3500km Road trip of the American West ?

Waiting for the strategy~~

Waiting for the update~

The ninth day 2016.02.07Left at 9:30 in the morning and went to Walmart to buy some dry food. There were not many cars on the road, but there was definitely no signal in the wilderness, so it is necessary to have a GPS navigation. It is recommended to enter the hotel address into the GPS navigation in advance. If you don't remember the address, just randomly navigate to a place in Vegas. As long as the direction is correct, the phone will have a signal when you get there. We drove back at 4:30 in the afternoon. Didn't want to drive at night. Arrived at the hotel at 7:30. Still buffet. Tip: Although there are not many cars on the road, it doesn't mean there are no cars. And the speed is very fast, so when taking pictures on the road, one person must watch out for cars. As soon as you see a car coming, move away and wait for the next opportunity. Safety first. Death Valley National Park Heading to Death Valley. Not many cars on the road. The little horse is getting restless!!! Death Valley National Park A rare personal photo... Death Valley National Park Learn from me. Death Valley National Park Sitting on the hood, then sitting on the ground...

Good morning, OP!

Why do people in the capital envy the sky in foreign countries?

Good beauty@

The eighth day 2016.02.06 Today at eleven thirty in the hotel to eat a buffet, and then set off to the Hoover Dam, the scene of Transformers. Near Vegas, an hour's drive. It's still necessary to go and see. Because we arrived a little late, we missed the last tour inside, a little bit disappointed. Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam. Is this a familiar scene?

Ha ha, so alike!

On the seventh day 2016.02.05Feel what is magnificent, what is intoxicating. Personally, I'm not interested in gambling, just because I see through it. Haha. Walk around and feast your eyes, broaden your horizons.Las Vegas BoulevardCaesars Palace HotelThere are definitely slot machines at the hotel entrance. I see through it.Las Vegas BoulevardLuxury, luxury, luxury, now it's popular to say it three times.Caesars Palace HotelIsn't it dreamy?Caesars Palace HotelSaw Tiffany, wanted to buy a pair of wedding rings to use for the ceremony in San Francisco. Tried the size, but they didn't have our size. Oh well. Can only reserve and have it sent to the San Francisco store, then go pick it up. Just regular wedding rings, not diamond rings. Can't afford diamond rings..

Waiting for update~~

OP, looking forward to the marriage strategy, it's very meaningful!

Turns out the original poster rented a car to have fun, so cool

The highlight is coming. Getting married at San Francisco City Hall! Foreigners are allowed to get married here, as long as they bring their passport. The cost is divided into two parts, one is a registration fee of $105, and the other is a ceremony fee of $78. Photos: Asked two brothers to help take photos, one is a graduate student in photography, and the other is an amazing amateur photographer. One used film to take pictures, and the other used digital. This lineup really gave the brothers face. If friends also want to have a Western-style wedding in San Francisco, I will write a detailed strategy later. It depends on the public demand. Haha. San Francisco City Hall. So heavy... Is my wife considering losing weight? San Francisco City Hall. Muah. San Francisco City Hall. Feels like an oil painting. San Francisco City Hall. Continue to pose. Haha. San Francisco City Hall. Mainly look at the temperament. Take a picture with my parents, the aura must be held. Haha. San Francisco City Hall. The brothers act as the officiant. San Francisco City Hall. Finally, thanks again to friends for skipping class, taking time off to witness our love! On the thirteenth day 2016.02.11. Goodbye, San Francisco. I'll write this much for now. Really don't have time, it's been two days. If friends have any questions, you can message me and I'll do my best to answer. Goodbye.

Bumblebee!

On the tenth day 2016.02.08 Today I returned to San Francisco. Departed at 9:30 in the morning, the navigation showed eight and a half hours to San Francisco. Stopped at a rest area for lunch, filled up the gas twice, and actually arrived at Fisherman's Wharf at 7:30 in the evening. When checking in, the staff said they couldn't find my reservation information, which really scared me. Later, they found it after searching for a while. Don't scare people like that. On the way back, there were herds of cattle and sheep. On the eleventh day 2016.02.09 Today I rested for a day, prepared for the wedding, bought a bouquet, booked a hotel, and informed friends. I also went to Jiugu Hua Street and the Golden Gate Bridge in my spare time. About the bouquet: I went to two stores. Found them on Yelp. The first one was a white-owned store, and when I asked about the price, it was a flat rate of $200. What the heck, isn't this robbery? They said that with Valentine's Day coming, even a rose costs $10. I was so angry. Quickly went to the second store, which was owned by a Chinese person. $100. Half the price. I felt much better. But in terms of value, it's still quite expensive. Bargained it down to $80. Paid and arranged to pick it up after dinner. Jiugu Hua Street: Jiugu Hua Street. The time has come for the old driver to prove himself, and driving around the bends is a must. Unfortunately, the plants on both sides didn't bloom during this time period, otherwise it would have been much more beautiful. Golden Gate Bridge: On the bridge. The navigation took us directly to Vista Point, with plenty of parking spaces. This is the first viewpoint of the Golden Gate Bridge. Then, when driving back, there was a sign for San Francisco. Following the sign, you can see two roads, one going up the mountain and one going onto the bridge. Follow the road up the mountain to get a panoramic view of the Bay Area. Golden Gate Bridge: The second viewpoint on the left side of the mountain of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The sixth day 2016.02.04 Stayed in San Diego for one night, visited the Kiss of the Century during the day, and then went to Las Vegas. Before leaving, soak in a hot spring. Don't soak in vain. After checking out, I had a meal at a Thai restaurant next to the hotel, and then drove to a nearby supermarket to buy a bottle of mineral water, as well as some fruits and snacks. Interestingly, the supermarket has a membership system, and the member prices are much cheaper. For example, Haagen-Dazs is originally priced at $4.99, but the member price is $2.59. I was thinking about how to become a member. When I was paying, the cashier asked me if I was a member. I said no. I asked how to become a member? (Note: Generally, membership at supermarkets like Walgreens and Safeway in the United States is free). Then she asked me if I was a tourist or a resident here? I said we came from San Francisco for a trip. She said then you don't need to become a member, just use mine. So she took out her membership card and swiped it. The total was $60, but with the membership card, it was only $40, saving $20. It's just a matter of one sentence. There should be applause here. Right? PS: Most of the service industry personnel in the United States are very nice. If you have anything, just say it, be bold, and don't feel pressured. Catamaran Resort Hotel It feels great to have the whole place to ourselves at ten in the morning. Catamaran Resort Hotel Walking in the hotel garden, I met Mr. and Mrs. Duck taking a leisurely stroll. Catamaran Resort Hotel Haagen-Dazs for a little over two dollars. Friends who like this flavor must have a taste. USS Midway Museum In a word, does it look like it? Mainly came here to take pictures. Haha. Let's forget about going on the aircraft carrier, it's not very meaningful. The main thing is that everyone has had the experience of being on a battleship before. After taking photos, we left at four o'clock and arrived at the hotel at nine in the evening. USS Midway Museum Take a picture with the cool pickup truck. USS Midway Museum Mom and Dad are shy, haha. They only want to take pictures here. Haha.

The fifth day 2016.02.03 Today's itinerary is to visit Beverly Hills, take a look at the luxury houses, take photos and then go to the famous white sandy beach, Santa Monica Beach, where many movies have been filmed. At the same time, this beach is full of street fitness atmosphere. Stayed for more than an hour, and left for San Diego at 4:30 in the afternoon. Arrived at the Katamaran Hot Springs Hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening. Highly recommended! The atmosphere and overall environment created by the hotel are really amazing, with a garden-style hotel and a Southeast Asian style. Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills. I want to fly higher series. It's all about the angle. Haha. Beverly Hills. Dad said he forgot to bring sunglasses, and it's so bright rhythm. Santa Monica Beach. Facing the sea. Santa Monica Beach. Keep jumping. Not easy, you know. Santa Monica Beach. Come on, girl. Let the old man kiss you. Santa Monica Beach. The bench was occupied by two old ladies. I just want to ask if they can let us sit down and take a picture. Hehe. Santa Monica Beach. Oh, the pose is pretty good. Santa Monica Beach. It's time to show off. The fitness little overlord is not just a name. Let's have a good laugh.

A wonderful trip

Cry, it turns out that some parking fees are so expensive

Haha, vaguely see muscles

Talking about this trip After dragging on for more than ten days, I finally decided to record this trip in words to share with everyone, and also to be able to revisit it in a few years when the memories become fuzzy. Isn't that a great idea? HahahaRoute: San Francisco → Los Angeles → San Diego → Las Vegas → San FranciscoBackground: Four people traveling, I am studying for a master's degree in San Francisco and will graduate at the end of 2015. My parents and wife came to experience my three years of studying abroad.Driving experience: Driving my own car in a foreign country is fundamentally different from taking a tour bus. I don't like rushing and I definitely don't like shopping with a tour group. Maybe I'm just used to being free and easy, it's also a problem, I need to fix it. Of course, the most important thing when traveling is to relax a bit, don't plan the itinerary too tightly, sleeping on the bus and taking photos when getting off is really boring. Only driving yourself can be relaxing and carefree.As for the preparations before the trip, many travel guides are very detailed, so I won't go into that here. Don't forget to bring everything you need, make a detailed itinerary, calculate the time, book hotels, rent a car, one step at a time. Let's go.

Wedding in progress

Just about to set off~~Looking forward to it

Haha, many girls want Tiffany

The Golden Gate Bridge is so magnificent, have you encountered the cable car?

Seeking marriage strategy!! Can I get a marriage certificate on the spot?

City can play

Let's get started, welcome everyone to watch

After getting off the plane, follow the crowd. When you can see the customs window, it will be divided into two lanes. The left side is for U.S. residents, and the right side is for visitors. There will be signs indicating which way visitors should go. Just stay in the crowded area and queue up. There are signs indicating that you cannot make phone calls or take photos here. Last time I came, I still took a sneaky photo, it was quite daring in order to make a guide for my family. Because the entry form was filled out for three people, all three of us went through customs together, handing our passports, entry forms, and invitation letters to the customs officer. Each person needs to fingerprint. The officer will indicate to press the thumb or the other four fingers together. After passing through customs, pick up your luggage. After picking up the luggage, continue walking out and hand the entry form to the next customs officer at the next checkpoint. Then follow his instructions. If your luggage is not checked, go through the left exit. The door at the exit is closed, but it will open when you get there. Just follow that road and you will leave the airport, where you can see many vehicles waiting for pick-up.
