fairmont hotel is that one that faces Un. Sq.

see the gene hackman flik;
"the conversation" as well as "vertigo" before you two go.

oh and that kelly lebrock/gene wilder red dress movie.

I recommend the Savoy for lodging. and the restaurant next to their diminutive lobby is excellent.
Savoy is just a short walk up Geary from Un Sq..

(geary is mentioned in vertigo.)

It is in a theatre district. we walk downhill from the savoy and pass near F.A.O. Shwartz toward Un Sq.

and see the SoMa district too!

We're staying in the Hotel Beresford which is on Geary (I think). Cheap ($89/night) but got decent reviews.Definitely a few steps down from the St. Francis, which is where I stayed in Oct! Only about 1 1/2 blocks from Union Sq., though and about 10 minutes' walk (if you walk slowly) from the Chinatown Gate. Definitely need to hit SoMa and the Embarcadero this time. Maybe take a ferry ride up to Sausalito, too.

If you have a chance take HWY80 and check out Sea World in Vallejo! Lots of Local people from Hawai'i too. I had my youngest daughter there way back in 1984...now she & hubby are expecting their first baby, a boy(my first granchild) anytime soon! ooohhh the memories this site brings. Miulang, you always seem to be the one who floods my head with memories...good kine!

You talking about Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo?

I've been there a few times, it's a fun place. You may have to wait until spring since the park is closed during the winter..

Yeah! thats the one! Oops, my apologies! I gave birth to Christy-Lynn at Vallejo General on Feb.4, 1984! My late husband, kids and I lived and had our home and restaurant on Spring's Road! Ahh, the memories...

I used to looove Sausalito! For six months back in '82 my main income was going to the Sausalito Boater's Swap Meet. I got what I needed, a mast, rudder and other parts while selling what I didn't need. I fixed up a 31' Piver Trimeran there. Along with getting side jobs helping others fix up their boats. What a life!
