Nice thing about the ferry to somewhere is that is actually leaves you somewhere, that you don't have to pay to get into. Sausalito for southern Marin - my old stomping ground - Larkspur, for more toward the middle, or the east bay. You can get out, wander, eat, shop, peer in windows, and then get a ferry back.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hey, all. I am slowly getting my act together for what is going on when. Other than Alcatraz, which I shall miss, what plans are up for Friday?
Basically, having to plan either Thursday or Friday as a working day down the peninsula, and having worky people who are free-er on Friday, what can I say as an excuse not to have to spend Friday night dinner in Santa Clara with people I don't know very well?
(They have the most torturous schedules in the world. I'm trying to twist tehir arms back to Thursday, but they are remarkably untwistable.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I don't think there's anything else formal, but IME, Friday night is a fabulous meet/re-meet-dress up-drink-and-giggle fest.

Nutty, your profile email addy is coming back undeliverable. Got another one I can use? Wishful to insend.

I can't even.
If you just want to get out on the water, there's a circle tour that goes out into the bay, tours around Alcatraz and under the GG Bridge and then returns. I'd recommend that because it's about an hour, and that's about perfect for being on the water.
I did that tour last summer with family. It was very enjoyable. You can't have enough layers on, by the way. Quite cold out on the bay (says the Canadian).

Actually, I got an email from you just now, Deb. Must have figured itself out. Thanks.

Kewl!
JohnS, yes indeed. Out on the water gets not only chilly, but choppy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh! While I think of it, and particularly for Kristin and ND, my American visit is taking shape. I'll arrive in LA on August 19, and I'd expect to leave around the 24th (Saturday to Thursday). I've had to trim my US travel plans so I can spend a week with the Wallybee at Alice Springs when I get back, so it looks like only major stops this time around.
Meanwhile, it seems I've accumulated enough frequent flyer points that I could fly first class across the Pacific for the princely sum of $800. Hmmm...

Yay Billytea!
Alas, I will be starting school at that point and may not have as much free time as I'd like, but I'm excited!

Eh, just tell 'em to start without you and you'll catch up when you're ready.
