i like beer, she likes shopping. we both like good food at a decent price (one fancy dinner). she likes seafood, i can tolerate a little fish, but prefer real food.
we don't do tourist tours. ie you won't find us on the buses/seagways
i'm sure we will hit a muesum, and the trolly cars.
we haven't even started research yet. only booked the tickets becasue they were cheap.
i do need to know....what's the medical situation like. ie is it a major issue to get a medical card without being an cali resident? hehe. oh yeah....it's on, and what are the rules on medication
how is public transit. i was thinking of renting a car for a few days to do a couple of day trips, but wasn't planning on having one the entire time
love me some mountains
Have a blast!!

I'm never as good as when you're there.........
not sure of the medical situation for out of staters- I'll find out. I'm happy to hook you up though.
You are never going to want to leave.

you are a good egg
i had the giants on the list of things to do. looks like the host the indians and sunday would be the only date i could make it. ironically enough, they will be playing at wrigley that week
"With our thoughts we make the world"
I'll PM you a few restaurants/sights that I've found to be fun times, if you'd like suggestions. you will love it here!
AQUARIUM BY THE BAY IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT..AWESOME (u can pet sharks )
stay away from the cable cars ..very overrated and uncomfy
union square is good ....wait for mikey in front of macy's
be prepared for mega homeless...very sad
take a boat trip under the golden gate bridge and be amazed at the change in water conditions
go see pearl jam 3 x..oh wait that was 06
Do the night time Alcatraz trip.
Hire a couple of bikes and cycle over the bridge down into Sausalito, mooch about and get the ferry back.
I know you don't do tourist things and we don't either but we did a trip on a fire engine. The old couple that did this were nutters and we had a real laugh. Not sure if this is still happening as they were both quite old.
There was also a bar near the Wharf that had blues bands playing.
Ignore anyone that approaches you.
got a limo... I highly recommend, worth every cent cruisin around...fun on the hills drinking champagne in the back watching the sunset
We went to the Phoenix Hotel reputed to have been where PJ stayed long ago.
The limo driver thought it not the best side of town and could not understand the appeal.
I guess not a fan.
We went to the bar...very cool retro.... I could have stayed all night....
especially dreaming of eddie walking in
guess we stayed too long... the driver came in looking for us to see if we were ok.
Or if we had snuck out the back!
Then we got tossed out of Chinese restaurant cause JB called the owner by his first name
well, it was on his shirt :?
anywho SF is a gas...lots of cool history but I was disappointed in the wharf,
seemed very "Wisconsin Dell-ish", not sure what I was expecting
felt sorry for the seals
I was also on the chilled side..all relaxed from the wine country...
just being back in a city hit me like a brick.
Check out the wine country if you have time it is awesomely beautiful
and for sure go to Muir woods and pretend to be a Hobbit!
what would you expect at the wharf? its a tourist spot...
go there look around and have some lunch..maybe check out the weiland gallery
it is what it is
very commercial filled with t-shirt shacks etc.. if you are expecting quaint get ready for a shock a roo
and tons of people...tons and tons and tons
lines everywhere
like I said I was on a rolling hills wine chill... the wine country is something else...wonderful
it's kind of like I imagine heaven to be
as you know its right where the alcatraz ferries are ...very crowded yes ,but its still cool to check out ..imo
i love the water and fish so the aquarium was a must for me
plus on the particular day i went it was 85 and sunny with alittle ocean breeze.. totally perfect
81 seems like a people loving guy... so i'm sure he will like it
Boston's aquarium rocks!
We couldn't do alcatraz 10 day waiting list...buy tix in advance for sure
couldn't get on a trolley car either so many waiting.
The memories I take from the San Fran area are great... we drove around one day...Haight-Ashbury area
was cool...thinking of all the great musicians from when I was a kid. And those hilly streets are great!
The chocolate is good there too.
i love a good hookup.
i didn't waste any time with alcatraz neither.. ive seen the inside of prison enough :?
and as for the trolley ..got on 1 stop..was stuck in the middle like a bug..went 1 stop up a steep ass hill ..was holding on for dear life rang the bell ..said fuck this ..got off..jumped in a cab to the wharf
alcatraz is a must see, didn't realize they had a 10 day waiting list. will buy that asap.
i didn't think the wharf would be good for anything but a quick see and leave.
gotta have a car for a few days to drive the crooked street.
i'm totally putting together a Clark Griswald schedule for this trip. monday 10am. hit the wharf. monday 10:15am, have a beer. monday 11am, have breakfast. oh wait..
:?
i tolerate you fuckers. :P i can deal with people, so long as they stay away from me.
now this man knows what i need.
gonna hit up the sunday indians game
beautiful area...cannery row and the aquarium
- Christopher McCandless
wait till you try and park on a roller coaster hill
oh and little italy and chinatown were pretty cool ..had a good meal or 5
very good mister 81
