Bel,

Depends on what you are looking for.. There are the usual tourist things, the

wharf and all that is there, some great museums, some really crazy places, yup

Height Ashbury is still going strong, stuck still in the 60's LOL.. My whole

family loves the Exploratorium.. Golden Gate park is beautiful but you only want

to be in certain parts of it. you could spend a couple days just doing the

whaarf stuff... tons of navel history there.. The boys second fav there is

Gheridelli Chocolates. Gheridelli Square is right near the wharf and has TONS

of fancy shops You could take a tour to the north and do the Wine Country

thing.. a fun one is a balloon flight through the Napa valley.. there is the

Napa Valley Train, it has a neat dinner ride with a fancy dinner and wine

tasting, cheaper to do the regular ride tho.. Let me know what you would like

and I can check into it... I live about 100 miles from SF and about 45 from

Napa. Do the Napa thing and there is all sorts of other stuff

besides wineries, Six Flags Marine World and MY fav Jelly Belly factory, some

great B&B's, some world famious spas (nothing like a good old fashioned

volcanic mud bath LOL)

Let me know,

Casey

Bel,

Instead of the bus why not take the train ??? It takes forever on the bus and

it goes up the central valley, the train goes up the coast, better scenery

You can check out the train at www.amtrak.com I am thinking of taking the

train if I get to go to the conf. I can get you a bunch of pamphlets of places

to go and see if you want.

Bel,

I so agree with Casey about Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. IIt is great.

There are wonderful seafood restaurants there with excellent San Francisco sour

dough bread. Near the wharf, as Casey said, is Ghiradelli Square. We love to

go to the Ghiradelli chocolate shop and order hot cocoa. It is so delicious

there. It's also possible to look at the chocolate being cooked and stirred in

gigantic bowls. It is a most amazing place. M-m-m-m chocolate.

The cable cars are also quite fun in San Francisco. I visited China Town when I

was very small and it was a complete thrill. I still have a tiny, tiny chinese

pitcher I got when I visited China Town with my grandmother when I was about 5

years olf. The shops and restaurants are fun.

I don't know about the night life and such there now, but my son,

lives and works in SF, and maybe he could give some great hints. He knows lots

of good restaurants. Jackie Kenley and her family can also give excellent tips

of what to visit and what to see. They are knowledgeable about restaurants and

music and museums and all.

In Golden Gate Park, one of my favorite things to do is to go to The Japanese

Tea Gardens.

Yep, visiting San Francisco would be fun.

San Francisco...OT

reason i want to go to SF!
