Fishdr comes to CA!

V - shall I do the airport run? I can pick up FishDr, we can swing by her hotel and drop her luggage off, then meet everyone at the FB...

SK, V, Dachshund, and Kim -
the BART leaves Pleasant Hill station at 1:12p
I'll avoid trying to find parking ..........

edit: on the other hand, it would probably be cheaper to split garage parking fees/gas. Just a thought....

Thom and I are probably going to take the ferry from Jack London. It looks like round trip tickets are $11. According to the website, parking for ferry use is free.

Somewhere I heard that the Bay Bridge will be closed east bound that weekend.

I'll get on Bart in Fremont and meet y'all there!:cool:

Sounds great to me!

I'm thinking BART sounds a lot more fun than dealing with traffic - even with a bus load of fun wimmen. I might want to go down a tad early and find lunch. I'm a bachelorini for the week. I can do what I want!!!!

Lurking from the midwest--dang! I wish I could join you all! Please take pictures! :D L.

That's Thom's job. :)

Hi Lise! I wish you could come, too! I'll look for meeting in Chicago, ok?

SK - I'm going to be hungry for sure. I'm pretty much always hungry. So - you, me, and BikerZ could get lunch - or we could all meet earlier and start with lunch? I can't keep track of how you all are getting there - would that work?

I haven't a clue. All I know is "Embarcadero, surface, walk toward water."

BZ?

I knew I liked her....

fishdr "And I do travel light. Now with the increased security - I surely won't be carrying anything on the plane but my computer. What fun"

Just don't bring any milk ;)

Snap, I should be on BART from South Haward.

Definitely! That's how I pick my conferences, too. Let's see...who can I visit?! :p We have one in my field that's in SF and DC every year (Contraceptive Technology--whoo hoo! :rolleyes: ). I can see I'll have to make the SF version soon!

Sounds like a plan is emerging...

Fish - I'll PM you about flight specifics.

SK - I can call you when I've got Fish and her bags safely ensconced in my car and we can give you (and anyone else who want to eat lunch) an ETA for the FB.

There are several good options for lunch there -
Lulu Petite (my personal fave)
Mijita - Tracy Des Jardine's Mexican taqueria
Taylor's burgers (of St. Helena fame)
Slanted Door (Vietnamese) has a take out place,
and more!
Oh - also oysters! caviar tasting!

Is the larger group going to want dinner? Does anyone have a favorite that they've been thinking about?
