I did the night tour a long, long time ago, with the Girl Scouts on an all-night exploring San Francisco field trip. All I actually remember is Alcatraz, a visit to a restaurant with gigantic burgers and comical hippopotami drawn all over the menus, a late-night snack in a swanky hotel lobby, and a youth hostel somewhere in the woods. So awesome. I wish I still had the badge.
eta: It'll depend on finances, but I think Hec and Emmett and I might be interested. Or at the very least Emmett and one of us, while the other socializes with the grown-ups.
The night tour sounds tres cool -- do they offer group rates?
[eta: Looks like yes, but only over the phone:
Group Discounts for Tours and Area Attractions -- We offer group discounts, and we can negotiate package rates.]
Ok, the first site I linked to WAY spendy. www.blueandgoldfleet.com is way better. Their group rate starts at 15 people. If we get up to 15, I'll call and see what's what.
I volunteer to organize it, if that's ok.
(I also promise to do a better job than I did with baseball tickets.)
Ticket is booked! I'm arriving at SFO at 8:07pm on Thursday night. Yay! And I think I might also be interested in the Alcatraz trip on Friday night, though it depends on how much it costs (and maybe also how long it is).
Hey Sparky, next time you're around here - what airport should I be looking at for proximity to my
bunk
sleeping accomodations?
