USA and Canada Travel

[boybi]

What I enjoyed best in SFO was Alcatraz, followed by doing a private tour around the various districts in an old Volks Kombi.

I also enjoyed renting a car for a day to drive around and do a tour of all the main "attractions" in Silicon Valley -- basically old garages and tech offices (the highlight for me was setting foot on the hallowed steps of the Palo Alto Research Center aka Xerox PARC).

If you're a sucker for nature, try to visit Yosemite. You can do a day trip from the Bay Area.

one should stay at least a night in Yosemite.

US for US brands and Europe for European brands is what I do. Haven't been to Japan pero nagpapabili lang ako

Ano ba ok na US brands?

Tommy and RL ang kakapal ng tela, hindi bagay sa weather ng Pinas.
Bags naman, better to buy EU brands, mas may resale value pa if ibenta in the future.

Apple products, mas mura pa sa Japan and some EU countries kesa sa US, unless siguro you buy from tax free states.

Kapag ginawa mo daw yan, ibig sabihin babalik ka sa States in the future.

Kung tax free electronics ang hanap sa Oregon daw maganda.

Or, mapagkamalan kang magpapakamatay andami kayang tumatalon diyan sa bridge.

Natutuwa pa kami sa San Francisco nung setting pa siya ng "Charmed" na TV series, pero ngayon saksakan na ng adik.

Correct, no tourist tax refund sa USA, and maybe Canada.........buti pa sa Australia, Singapore, and Japan

Mahal lahat sa US, and no tax refund.

For shopping, go to Europe, and Japan while the yen is cheap.

We already have a Canada ETA, yes if entering by air.

We already have a USA ESTA.

If you will use ETA to enter Canada, it needs to by air. Not sure if this applies for flights from the US.

Yes, we will travel to Yosemite for 1 night.

Our home base is San Jose.

USA phase 2 na ang mga ibang lugar na yan

especially san franSICKo

ang gusto ko lang sa US maraming consumer products. harbor freight etc. punta ka lang amazon andaming options ng winch na wala dito. fill up balikbayan boxes before you leave

even aliexpress will deliver right to your doorstep. tapos iiwan lang nila sa labas hehe

you can skip all the BS places like vegas and hollywood, and skip all the stupid theme parks. concentrate ka sa mga natural wonders like grand canyon, bryce canyon, yosemite, yellowstone (the geysers etc), zion national park, grand teton national park. also worth going to hoover dam

sa san francisco, skip fisherman's wharf hehe, too touristy. lombard street is also touristy. pero ok yung flowers conservatory. but there's a submarine you can enter at fisherman's wharf. if you like those old warships meron din isa dun sa alameda, USS hornet i think which fought in leyte
