All,
The gf and I are still planning a trip for next week July 2-6 (yeah last minute), anyway SF looks really good right now. Neither of us has been there. I will finish reading this thread (only got through 1.5 pages so far), but I'd like to know some details if I could.
How much does public transportation cost? Like if we want to ride over to Bay 101 Casino or whatever it's called. Or the GG Bridge...or Alcatraz...etc.all things we'd likely want to do.
Is it safe? Is it easy? Can you buy a week-pass or something?? etc...I'm in Houston so I'm not very versed in public transportation.
Should we think of renting a car for at least 1 day just to do a day-trip around the bay?
Any other inside info. for outsider morons would be greatly appreciated. So far the restaurant/club recommendations have been superb, now I just need to hear recommendations about how to actually "do San Francisco" for the first time.
Thanks!
BTW...we've found packages for airfare and 4 nights stay at Hilton in Union Square for $581/person. Also Westin St. Francis Union Square for $593/person. These rates are fantastic, right?? Is Union Square a great place for us to choose to stay? Thanks..
