They have both wireless and DSL. I'm having some trouble with the wireless cutting off -- but they said it's because I'm at the end of the hall and have a weak signal -- in other rooms it apparently works better. The DSL is by the bed, so I have to use the laptop on the bed if I plug in.

giovanna,
i had posted this earlier in the thread....
"there are 2 parking places on sansome not far from henry hunans.
there are also assorted lots on montgomery and broadway.
of course if you can find street parking, you have hit the jackpot!"

Wow ncounty-That bus stuff is too confusing for me!! Glad it's you not me. Cat, I think we will stick with the taxi from the Embarcardero to the hotel if that's OK with you. The fare shouldn't be too much.

lol, wow those directions are amazing!!! It's almost like a comedy skit out of a movie. (The Princess Bride, "never make a bet with a Sicilian" poison drink scene comes to mind). Nothing like travel buddies from Fodor's if you need directions. I am well equipped for my bus ride! Thanks.
My plane lands in SFO at 1:13 pm so I think I will probably just be getting to the hotel around 3 pm. Very excited to seeing everyone at dinner....perhaps for those with laptop connectivity, if pre dinner drinks are planned and posted on these threads, I'd love to join in.

Hey Guys and Gals,
I know all of you are going to have a great time not only at the GTG, but it sounds like some other fun things are planned for the weekend too. All of us here at Fodors want pictures and of course ALL of the dirty details!!
P_M, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for suggesting that all of you still toast my boy Diablo.
Now, unless a miracle happens, I will not be going to London this weekend. I have come down with a bug that has me praying for death to feel better.
I am due to fly to San Diego tomorrow before the flight to London on Friday. But at this point, I do not see it happening. Man, these last couple of months have really sucked!!
Tom

Oh Tom! I imagine that you have the bug that I had that lasted two weeks. Many others have had it also including some Fodorites.
Are you dizzy, achy all over, earache, completely so tired you can hardly function?
I am so very sorry Tom..I was broken hearted that I couldn't get to SF to see andrew8 and his wife steelygirl. I can imagine how upset you are to have to cancel your trip to London.
Please, don't push yourself. Sleep all you can, drink lots of water, eat lightly (broths, crackers etc.) and take Advil for the pain. At least that was my doctor's orders.
Sending you a big hug dear one..I am so terribly sorry you are ill especially right at this time.

Tom: I've been feeling sorry for myself because we've had no trips this year. Now I hear about your plans having to be cancelled. That's even a worse disappointment! Agree with Faina, replan and take the trip when you are able. Hope your bug won't linger and you'll be feeling better soon.

Tom, I am so sorry! What a disappointment! You must be so dad, especially after all the sadness you've had to deal with already.
Maybe it is just a 24 hour thing and you will feel better tomorrow! I'm crossing my fingers!

cat - Sad to say it is more than a 24 hour thing. I feel just as bad, if not worse today, I know there is something going around. Guess I caught it. My friend is going without me. I don't blame him, I would have done the same if things were reversed.
I hope all of you have a great time this weekend.

Yes, sadly the bug/virus that is going around generally takes two weeks before one is feeling back to normal. A couple that live near me have had it for three weeks. And when at the doctor's today they told me some of their elderly patients have not been well for a month. It is a very nasty virus. Take real good care of yourself dear Tom!
Thankfully I am recovered but I sure got behind with things..and still am. But the SF visit and GTG comes first, lol!
See you all tomorrow!

More bad news...
I'll be there.
I found a cheap parking lot so I can sleep in my car.
Hocked some old diamond earrings of Mrs Kal's for a tank of gas and bridge tolls.
Now.....to find some kind soul to redistribute their dinner wealth my way?
ty....as long as they have BIG TABLES!
