Thank you ma91mph! I hope I could still continue to take my DSLR with me while travelling otherwise the photos might not be that beautiful!

Thank you SFO777, I need to learn more from you on taking close-up pics, but then again my lens collection lack a telezoom lens!

Yes indeed, I think maybe that's one of the reason I like the Andaz SD too!

I really like the Pictures, may I ask, how do you take them, some seem to have quite a long exposure time, do you always use a tripod?
Looking forward to the rest of the TR!
Thank you edoa! None of the photos were taken with a tripod, too cumbersome to bring one while travelling... Instead I just ramp up the ISO levels to around 800, use a set of steady hands to take a shot at around 1/5-1/10 shutter speed, with aperture at around f/4

And that shower!! I've stayed in rooms where the shower had a view into the bedroom area, but this one really takes the cake!
Thank you jsmeeker! Just remember to close the window curtains in the room while showering since the window overlooks the apartment opposite and we do not want any lawsuit of indecent exposure do we?

Thank you Short hair Francis! Looking forward to your new report as well especially on AF J since that is rarely reported around here.

Thank you
Thank you DL17! I would probably do a review of the camera, lens and all at the end of the report for better clarity and avoid repetitiveness.

Thank you mkjr! Thankfully, I do not remember going through SFO before 2000 or maybe I was not that much of a food connoiseur back then...

Thank you hamburglar! Is your handle from the McDonald's character back in the 1980s?

Great report so far. Really looking forward to the rest. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you goodeats21! Why would I bring a wire hanger for my travels? Sorry to disappoint but that was supplied by UA.
