Last December 22, our first family vacation in the U.S. finally pushed through. We have bought airplane tickets as early as March this year when Philippine Airlines had a crazy three-day sale and the roundtrip tickets were sold for only USD 400. My parents were at first hesitant to buy the tickets but they eventually gave in. We were all 20 in our entourage.
After 16 long hours in the plane, we finally arrived in San Francisco! It was already about 6:00pm local time. We had more than 30 pieces of luggage all in all. Three airport shuttles brought us to our hotel in downtown San Francisco.
My cousin made reservations at Hotel Stratford, located a stone's throw away from Union Square. After we settled in our rooms, we all gathered in the hotel's tiny lobby and had dinner at a Thai restaurant about two blocks away.
After dinner, the oldies went back to the hotel while my siblings, cousins and I strolled to the nearby Union Square. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my family and I would be spending Christmas abroad! Everything was so pretty! I especially adored Macy's window display. A block away from our hotel was H&M. My fascination for this brand started after my friends and I did some research about this brand for our Marketing Communications class two semesters ago.
