Spending A Week In San Fran, CA and Looking For Suggestions

[Radbird]

What's closed? Alcatraz ? Muir Woods?

[go birds]

yea...all federal parks

If you can't find a decent substitute for the NPs in SF then you aren't very adaptable.

So due to the fact I have to be back in Nashville at a certain time, the only reasonable flight outta sf was at 6 am on Monday. What's the best/cheapest way to get to the airport from pacific heights? Anyone know?

going to have to take one of those airport shuttles- eg supershuttle- that early if you don't take a cab.

Cab to Embarcadero, BART to SFO.

Sounds like this shutdown nonsense may end right about the time you're headed to the airport.

I ended up using the cool UBER system they have there to take me to the airport...it was $50, but i was riding on 3 hours of sleep and didn't want to deal with all the hassle.

For those of you that dont know, UBER is freaking cool. It's a a cab app you install on your phone and use to order cabs. You out your credit card in and they automatically charge EVERYTHING at once. They come pick you up, take you wherever you need to go and youre off on your way without worrying about tip since it's already figured into the total cost. They also give you an estimated fare before they pick you up. Very handy...hopefully Nashville gets it soon.

Anyway, we saw just about everything in the city you could possibly see, sans the federal stuff. WE didn't get a chance to try out much of the food scene, however, which i was kind of disappointed in. But ill definitely be going back. I love the city--i didnt want to leave.

I think the highlight was biking across the golden gate. That was awesome.

Either that or getting offered weed in Golden Gate Park:

"You guys need some buds?"

"Nah man we're cool"

".....lsd?"

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Yall were very helpful.

Question for you San Fran experts (especially 33.333333)

We're looking for a hotel, any recs? We'd like a place centrally located, maybe Union Square, with distinctive rooms.

[go birds]

How long are you going to be there cause man we rented a condo for an entire week for $1600.

A hotel room for one couple would have been $1400 alone.

If you're interested, i can give you the guy's info and put you in touch.

It was located in pac heights and accessible to everything. The place was spectacular as well.
