If you fancy going to Alcatraz, book your ticket well in advance. The evening tour around sunset is popular and good if you like that sort of thing .

If you visit alcatraz bring a jacket, it is freezing on that liitle hellhole.If you are of the engineering type a visit to the cablecar steamhouse that drags the cables and cars up those hills is well worth a visit.Its electric today but the old workings are still there.

Tour the wineries in Napa.  Trip to Santa Cruz.  I presume you've been out to Sausalito and done the local sigts in SF.  Ball game at PacBell or has it changed its name?  Beer there very expensive.  Lunch in Chinatown.

If as your name suggests you are a Galbally man, take a trip to Fiddlers Green pub in Millbrae and about 5pm you'll meet Paul McCann from Galbally.

Look for a resturaunt on the pier 39 called the pier market resturaunt. Walk in and ask for the teryiaki shark steak. You will be talking about it 6 years later on an internet message board (having gone back over and over and over and over and over again).
