Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I'm wondering, since the Fortune Cookie Factory is small, let's still visit, but should we convene somewhere else first -coffee shop, a hotel?

Or we could meet at a coffee shop either on Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square or the Ferry Building? We leave in 6 days so we are going to need to clamp this down as we are not bringing a laptop with us. Please can I have feedback by Wednesday so we can go from there. Bear in mind if there are any early risers, we are happy to meet earlier as jet lag will no doubt have the kids up early (they tend to wake up naturall at 5 - 6am, with the time change that's 9-10pm PST!!!)

You have to remember that not all of us will be coming from the same direction and others actually live there. I had originally mentioned to iamsally that Tinkeroon and myself were thinking about hopping on BART at Dublin and she indicated to me that the iamsallies would probably drive there. I think we need a centralized meeting area that won't be too hard to get to nor to find the other LP'ers once we're there. If some of us want to meet up at BART and commute together, we can still do that, it's just not practical for everyone. The Wharf sounds good to me and I would look forward to Union Square, later in the day, as well.
