Thought i'd bump this thread, as we just got back a couple days ago. Thanks for the tips. They worked out well.
Tonga Room is a place i'd recommend. I really enjoyed it there, really nice atmosphere. And they took care of us very well.
Alcatraz tour was as good as expected.
Pier 39 was a nice walk for a couple of hours. Very touristy but I liked it. We couldn't stop staring at the sea lions. We weren't the only ones, the crowd was quite big and no one was leaving. Those fat buggers mesmerized us, lol. I also looked like a stud winning a big toy out of the giant toy claw machine they had in front of the arcade/restaurant place.
Pier 46(??) was cool. Got to see the bum that hides behind branches and scares people. Also found a very cool private collection of quarter machines. It was in a warehouse. Alot of antique quarter machines. Some games, fortune tellers, tests and musical stuff. Was really cool, I like that kind of stuff.
Napa was very cool. Definitely would rather do it in a smaller tour. There were 40+ on the bus. The time was pretty compressed from winery to winery. The Andretti winery was a very nice piece of land. They also did a tasting straight from the barrel. It was delicious. Strong wine and tasted so good. They drove us out there and had us back in about 8 hours. To do it properly you'd have to take about 12 hours. I would love to stay there for a couple of days to really enjoy it. The tour was Robert Mondavi, Andretti, Menage Trois and I forget the last winery. I know they carried Mount Veeder, but that wasn't the main winery. Andretti and Mondavi had the nicest grounds.
Hit up Haight Ashbury and Chinatown. Rode the cable cars, went to the cable care museum. Nice to see how the cars themselves work.
Didn't make it to a Giants game, so might regret that. We just had the 5 nights there so there was alot to do.
