Mrs and me going in February for 6 nights. Anyone recommend where to go and what to see? I know she has booked tickets for Alcatraz and has a sight seeing book but unless you live there or visited you always miss something good.
Any suggestion appreciated
cheers
Paul

My wife and I were there in December 2006. Certainly love the area. We went to visit Alcatraz, Lombard St(most crooked street in the world), San Francisco Bridge, Presidio(Nice view of the bridge from that location), Pier 39, China Town, Rainbow Street( where the big gay community)Napa Valley,cable car ride and a few other place but can't remember the name at the moment. Definetely a good place to go. Enjoy!!!

If you like wine, take a day trip to wine coutry (the Sonoma Valley). The best way is to take a bus charter from San Francisco, that way you can enjoy the scenery and give each winery a proper tasting....

If you want to check out a night club, Temple SF was nice when I went a few months back..there's also Ruby Skyes and Slide if you want to get your groove on.. and if the Mrs. doesn't mind there is Larry Flynt's Hustler gentlemens club..

Fly out tomorrow. Can't wait. Very dodgy getting home from offshore ( Rigs ) today due to snow, major panic or what
