RIP Continental Airlines

A moment of silence for a friend’s passing. I became acquainted with you in 1982 when I moved to Texas.  I have known you intimately for nearly 12 years.  Your proud name will be consumed by one that brings bad manners and a checkered past.  It is with great sadness that I see you go.

May your tail someday rise again.

My "secret place" in SFO

This is my review for our company magazine:

San Francisco, California, USA
The Mosser Hotel
54 4th Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
800-227-3804

Date of stay: Several times since 2005


 “I almost hate to give away my ‘secret place.’ TheMosser is an independent family-owned property in the heart of SFO.
Located on 4th Street at Market, directly across from the Marriott, but
at about one third the cost. It’s a very short walk to the BART and cable
car turn-around. But best of all, it provides a safe and welcome respite
after a long day of hiking those hills. As a single, female traveler, I
always feel safe there. The doorman and reception staff are friendly and
helpful. The rooms are quiet and clean. The hotel is eco-friendly and
nonsmoking, and very "family friendly". You can get en suite or down-the-hall bath, and robes are in your room. The morning coffee is divine. Next time you are in the City by the Bay, give the Mosser a try.
But don’t tell anyone.)”




Other information: The hotel has 112 deluxe rooms and 54 rooms with
a shared hall bath. Originally opened in 1913 as the Keystone Hotel,
this historic property underwent a major renovation in 2003.
