Starting the crooked street located in Lombard Street, San Francisco every tourist want to drive or walk and take pictures. Every time my vacation ends my entire friends feel like they will miss me. I always tell them no matter how busy they are with their own life. We will always keep in touch. The hardest part of my trip is saying goodbye to my family and close friends. I am grateful for them to make time even if they are busy from work and ask for a day off just to see me. I feel special because we treat ourselves like a family. No matter how distance we are a part of each other we try to get together and catch up on what has been going on with our separate lives. The best part of having a close friend for a very long time we are always there for them. It is a pleasure spending time in a short moment on your vacation. NOT SPONSORED.
