This time of year, many people are thinking about what it the perfect gift.

On our San Francisco Food Tour of North Beach\Little Italy and Chinatown, we??re thinking about that also. For many people, that means searching the stores or the internet for just the right gift to give someone. For me, I also like giving something that they can remember. A couple of days ago, we went to see a light show a short distance south of here. Along the way, we made a wrong turn and go really lost. The result was really tense drive along one lane mountain roads with no lights. The good news is that we finally found our way out of there. We even made it to the light show. On one hand, our trip was not the experience that we planned. The other good news is that it will be one of those things that we laugh about years from now. And given that my spouse and I experienced it together, it??s something that only the two of us know about. It??s also the kind of shared experience that probably makes us into a couple. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we see a similar bonding experience. It the shared experience of enjoying something together, some thig that people can talk about years from now. This year consider giving your friends and family an experience, something that they can remember years from now.
