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.)
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.
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.
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.

Hey, bt, make sure to let me know if you guys make the trek down to these parts for the zoo. I'd be pleased as punch to join up with you.
Or, if you don't, I suppose I could make the trek to LA.
