Hi
We are 2 couples that will be in SF March 18 -20, 2006. We are boarding our ship on the 20 for the Mexican Riviera for 10 days.
Lots to see and do in SF and we are wondering if you have any tips/advice, etc... for us.
We are staying at the Sheraton Gateway (near the Airport) but friends who have been told us to try and stay in the central area for easier access to all the sites.
Any thoughts,
Many thanks,
Sarah

I agree with your friends, stay central! Even if it's in a lesser quality hotel - you'll have a much easier time seeing/doing.
And make sure you wear good walking shoes!
SF is a very walkable, easy city to get around in - if you're NOT driving that is. I always try to stay near Market, just a short walk from Chinatown, North Beach (Italian area with great history and personality), and a longer but nice walk to Ghiradelli square and the piers for clam chowder. If you stay central there are many buses/cabs/bart to take you just a short distance if you don't feel like hoofing it.
Thanks Shelm for the reply.
I can't wait. We leave on Friday and arrive Sat. in SF. Booked the Alcatraz tour...so much to do in so little time.
