Winter opening hours

The Davies Motel closed its doors today on a successful summer season, with a marked improvement in customer satisfaction over last year.  Our final guests, Mat and Alana, are now enjoying Virgin Atlantic's hospitality somewhere over Manitoba.  They've packed everything in since Vegas, visiting the Asian Art Museum, Alcatraz, Angel Island, several thousand shops, a brewery tasting, and our own Walnut Creek SF Creamery for ice cream (every day)!  We send them back to England satisfied, slightly sun burnt, and somewhat heavier than when they arrived.

The proprietors are now taking a short break in the southern hemisphere, and our autumn program begins in late-October with the arrival of Mum and Sheila.  Book early to avoid disappointment!

A quick recap with some of Alana's pics:


It's Mojito Monday at Havana restaurant.


A new fan at the A's game.


CU Sushi's "Green Monster".


Yes, Caesar's Palace has swim-up blackjack tables.  Alana was sneakier than me getting a shot.


Classy.


No idea.


Mathew enjoys a plush seat at Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity.


Alana auditions for the same.  Or is telling Mat to keep quiet.


Shocked by American portion sizes.


Shut the door!


Enjoying a coffee in Haight Ashbury.


Segway pilots.


After that, a stiff drink in SF.


Hanging out.


Walking off into the sunset.


And one (or ten) for the road at the Pyramid Brewery tasting tour.
