Yo Rasta: Just for you laddy: Funny - although I knew the first star of Beach Blanket Babylon (her day job was as "my" bank teller at the B of A on Union St - where I lived during law school) - the play was just getting started way back then - and I never went to see it. Shame really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Blanket_Babylon

Hey - just looked up Nancy Bleiweiss. She was really a kick, and must have enjoyed my cashing huge, $20 checks.

Deb would it be possible to have a copy of the list you did for your friend? We will be there for 3 days beginning of November.
Will be reading and digesting Stu's notes and perhaps do a walking tour or too.

And to follow up on the suggestion to go to Half Moon Bay from Stanford - did that last fall. It's close (not much more than a half hour over the hill via 92 http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Ha...20Bay&state=CA ) and has a world class resort - The Ritz http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Proper...ay/Default.htm There are also other less expensive places in HMB - which you can find more information about under the different California posts - one of which had asked advice about a honeymoon trip.

From HMB, if you have time - the drive from HMB down to Carmel/Monterrey is beautiful (hour and a half?) - and you should also visit the Aquarium while at Monterrey - as it's right on Cannery Row.

From Monterrey - you can be back in SF in under three hours, assuming you don't try it on a Sunday afternoon.

Here is where another poster decided to stay in HMB - which is right on the water/ocean - and a bit less "cher" than the Ritz: http://www.cypressinn.com/
