Yay - San Francisco here I come

[Zippo]

Just booked my first trip to San Francisco - heading there mid October for 9 night (and by the time you add in the date line, almost two weeks)
Really looking forward to it, though it means some changes to my spending habits.

Who wants to purchase a kidney :D
Or some Transformers ... that will work as well.

Anyone been there? Have any tips etc?

go for a tram ride, watch a giants game, check out the seals at the pier. go to a Wal Mart, K mart , Target and TRU and spend money on plastic.

that's the short version. :D

Go for the usual spots, the golden gate bridge which is neither made of gold or have a gate, Lombard street, fisherman's wharf - try the clam chowder.

OH, and check out the ROCK.

Join the Segway tours! Fantastic way to know more about the neighbourhood and you'll become a tourist attraction! I loved the advanced tour where you go up and down SF's steepest hills including Lombard.

I've heard that these are pretty good.

Never been there mate....but most importantly have fun :D Oh and don't forget to take out travel insurance, could cost you a small fortune if you get hurt over there and need to use their hospitals etc :cool:

Great city! Saw Barry Bonds (who probably took enough steroids to make Lance Armstrong cry) score his 600th home run (from memory - it was some kind of record anyway) at the baseball stadium there. Plenty to see. There's a really nice comic shop there too (can't remember the name, sorry).

Enjoy mate, I'm envious! :D
