San Francisco International

• I don't know.
• It was the weirdest airport ever.

“I must say, this was one weird airport! Our flight was in rotunda a (which has since closed) but it was quite an odd journey from gate to rental car. The concourse was dilapidated, and the only open restaurant was a filthy snack bar. After we walked past the security lane, we had to ride a rickety elevator to the lower level baggage claim. At the lower level, there was a very large baggage claim area, filled with every different type of baggage belt imaginable (it seemed that they had all been added at different times). The space was very big but I don't remember how many belts there were. I think we got our bags quickly. We then had to take the air train to get our bags. It was not easily connected to our terminal. We had to walk through a strange parking garage walkway, cross the parking lot, take a series of elevators, and then get on the air train. We took it to the central rental car facility, and after that, nothing seemed strange.”

Fisherman's Wharf

• Staff, Food, Cycle Ride and Tour of the Bay.
• Tacky Shops and Aggressive Staff.

“This was my third trip to San Francisco and my first where I was not accompanied by my children, so my wife and I, and our two friends, had plenty of time to browse and take in the sights, sounds and smells of Fisherman's Wharf. The area still has all its charm with the fog on the Bay giving that wonderful aura and ever changing views to the whole place. The Boat trip around the Bay was delightful for only 10 Dollars and the running commentary by the Crew was humorous and informative There were Fishing trips available with a lot of big fish, salmon and halibut, being returned, although the early start of 5.15 put me off the idea of going fishing. The highlight certainly had to be the cycle ride, courtesy of Blazing Saddles' and their predominately Irish staff, who were most helpful, which saw us cross the Golden Gate Bridge and freewheel down to Sausalito. Breathtaking and exhilarating! The food on the wharf was beautiful and their shrimp sandwich, contained enough prawns, which would make you at least half a dozen prawn cocktails, back here in Ireland. The staff in all areas were typically American, helpful, friendly, mannerly and considerate. There was one exception to the rule, and that was the 'camera' shops. I went in to buy a memory card and was subjected to the most aggressive hard sell I have ever experienced, as the staff tried to sell me lenses, camera cases and anything else that would make up a so called bargain. Although I managed to extricate my self, my friend was not so lucky and succumbed to their hard sell techniques, buying a camera which was described as a 'bargain' with a memory card and a case thrown in. The next day in a downtown reputable camera shop, we saw the same camera at half the price. My lens was also available, at a quarter of the price offered the previous day. Be warned, therefore - avoid these shops like the plague!!!”
