Should be fun. I was also able to round up a video camera for the weekend so along with the 2 still cameras we will have plenty of footage for the weekend.

Also due to the oil spill some of the beaches (Fort Pointe, Crissy Fields + several more) are closed so again I am not sure if that will affect any of your plans...)
Originally Posted By peeaanuut thanks for the tip. did a search and I found it: San Francisco (South of Market) Howard St is closed between 3rd St and 4th St - Oracle Open World at the Moscone Center - closure in place for 10 continuous days until Saturday (11-17) at 6am If I stick to the main highways I should be fine. Oh darnit!!!! ok, i cut west into half moon bay and come up the 1 and go across the bridge.

I was going to try and medicine myself up but realized that jayna would have to do the bulk of the driving and a thousand miles on anyone is alot and I knew she wouldnt have much fun. I was planning on driving once we got north of the bay so that she could see things and enjoy herself. It just wouldnt be able to happen. We are thinking of this weekend if she does not have to work but it looks like she might. The trip isnt cancelled but its on hold until at least this weekend. I am over being ill so that shouldnt be a problem in the near future.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut ok it looks like the trip is back on for this weekend. Hopefully the weather and my health will hold on. Not going with anyone else so its just Jayna and me. Should be a great day trip.

It was excellent and I am sorting through the pictures and will post later.
