Announcing the Snook-Howard World Tour 2004!
The tickets are all booked for our trip home to Indiana for my sister’s wedding in November. We’re going to be stopping in LA for a few days on the way out and San Francisco for a few days on the way back. Anybody have any recommendations for Vegas or San Fran? We’ve never been either place so any advice or tips would be welcome!

Also China Town is meant to be one of the best there but since you Sydneyiers are catered well on food like that maybe it ain’t such a hot item for you.

Woo! I’ll check Vegas for you this weekend. Did I mention I’m seeing MADONNA while I’m there?? I may explode.

Having lived in San Fran for a while, I recommend going up to the Carnelian Room – top of the tallest building, great view & cocktails… http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-1221484-carnelian_room_san_francisco-i
Also, Tadich Grill on California Street is great. There’s lots of waiters dressed up to the nines, and a great seafood soupy thingo there…
As for ghirardelli, I have to say that the Cadbury factory down in Hobart is much better 🙂

Thanks everyone. Hotels would be *extremely* useful, if y’all know any…

My recommendations are from when I was 9 and lived in California for 3 months and the C.Town was from word of mouth ..hehe. So no wonder I said the Choc Factory.
Though I can’t remember this but my parents played one of my “childhood” tricks on me at Fisherman’s Wharf. I used to rush ahead all the time so they all hid and then I started crying etc when I couldn’t see them. Grrrr…parents!!!

North Beach area in San Francisco is great, lots of little cafes and terrific restaurants… The Stinking Rose is a good if you like/love garlic. Also if you need something to do in the day the Exploratorium http://www.exploratorium.edu is so much fun, a science museum type of place where you can play with all the exhibits.
