Flight from ACV (Arcata) to SFO (San Francisco)?
I wanted to buy a plane ticket from Eureka to San Francisco, but the price is higher than $300. Does anybody know why the cost seems a lot when it's about an hour or two flight? It's about 8 hours if you're driving from Eureka to San Francisco. If there is any other place for less, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

You can try flying into San Jose, It's only like a 20 minute drive from the SFO airport. Sometimes it's cheaper to fly into there, sometimes it is more!

Isabella, Take a look at our San Francisco Events Calendar. It's full of things to do in San Francisco. We maintain listings of all kinds of fun and interesting events going on in the San Francisco area. You can sort it by category and by date. New events are being added all the time so make sure you check back before your trip. Have fun!

You could take a cable car down to the Wharf and start on one end and walk to other end. Many attractions along the way to shop, eat, tour, mini harbor cruise, etc. Have dinner at the Franciscan in the middle of the Wharf on the bay for a wonderful sight of the bridge, Alcatraz, etc., plus the food is great. Try the calamari for an appetizer. Check out the vendors on the street corners. There is one near the Buena Vista (stop in here for an Irish Coffee) that has gemstone jewelry and is quite good and reasonably priced. Have one of the street artists do a caricature of you for a remembrance souvenir

Looks like possible cold, rainy weather. It's overcast now & a few drops on the car windshield this morning. So you would probably need to dress accordingly and plan to take public transit to see indoor things if you come and it is raining. Did you come to shop (or window shop)? Then go to Macy's or Westfield Mall. Did you want to ride the cable car and go to Pier 39, then you might need an umbrella so you don't get soaked when walking. Do you want to take the Metro or Market St. streetcar to the Ferry Building to look at the shops and eat there? Do you like art? Then go to the galleries: 49 Geary has many art galleries & you can pick up a Gallery Guide at the desk of one of the art dealers. Looking is free. If you want to see a permanent collection, go to the SF Museum of Modern Art: you would need to pay an entrance fee.

Don't limit yourself to overcrowded SF. San Jose, Monterey and Santa Cruz are just a short drive south from San Francisco. Napa is just north if you enjoy wine tasting. Once you see alcatraz, the golden gate and lombard st in SF it's pretty uninteresting.

*_~ So glad that you're considering San Francisco for your vacation. Try to stay in Union Square. http://www.unionsquareshop.com/ When you arrive at the airport, take the SFO air train that goes around the airport, then you’ll get off when you see Bart, take Bart to Powell Station (should be about $6-9 and it takes 20 mins ) that’s Union Square. http://www.bart.gov/ for schedule.. I just love the weather and the diverse culture here!! Traffic can be hectic but still bearable. Public transport is great! You can always take Bart, ferries, bus, taxi or cable car etc. However, if you don’t have much time or want to travel beyond the city – I think a car would help a lot. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but save you time to go more places faster.. Try the “City Sightseeing Open Top Bus Tour†which is about $30. “This unique open-topped bus tour of San Francisco includes four different routes, the Downtown Loop, the Golden Gate Loop, the Park Loop, and the Night Loop.†You're free to hop on and off as often as you want on the downtown loop. Embarcadero is wicked nice, and it's not THAT far, so you could really just walk down it to the Ferry Building. http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/ On Saturdays they do a nice farmer's market and you can get lots of good stuff. Walk down to Pier 39. GET THE San Franciso POPOUT Maps— I loves these POPOUT map- you get to see where you are- =) No Thinking required, especially on vacation. (Look at the pictures.) I have about 20 of these map of different cities.. It was so useful when I was in Europe! To Save money: get the “Go San Franciscoâ€, http://www.smartdestinations.com/san-francisco-attractions-and-tours/_d_Sfo-p1.html?pass=Sfo_Prod_Go Cable Car (Union Sq to Ferry Building Pier 39 Alcatraz or Angel Island Japan town Lombard Street Chinatown Coit Tower Fishermen's Wharf Union Square for Shopping Golden Gate Park – Walk across the bridge Academy of Science Union Street Ocean Beach Exploratorium Palace of Fine Arts San Francisco Zoo Westfield Shopping Centre DeYoung Museum Yerba Buena Gardens SF Giants Fair at AT&T Park Take the ferry to Tiburon or Sausalito Segates is a great way to travel around the city. Gray Line's Yosemite in a day- Daily depart 7am San Francisco Giants- Baseball Game 49ers- Football games Winchester Mystery House Mansion- overrated. Gray Line's Motorized Cable Car City Tour

If you had $3000 to spend on a 5 day vacation (not including flight) - New York, New Orleans or San Francisco
If you had $3000 to spend on a 5 day vacation (not including flight) - New York, New Orleans or San Francisco?
This would be for a couple - 40 yrs old, married 20 years, kids gone, total middle class tastes. Love food, don't want to have to dress up too much; don't gamble, like art musems and interesting sites/sights, Love music, socially drink. Will shop a little but not a ton. Just want to absorb some culture. Probably this would be a spring - April, May trip.

I'm from the NYC area and while I suppose everyone needs to experience it, the city doesn't do much for me (especially as a vacation) You don't mention what time of year you'll be traveling. Skip NY and New Orleans in the middle of the summer. Not sure about SF. If I were you, I'd head to New Orleans in the Spring (April/May) If you're with the right person- it really doesn't matter where you end up, but you already know that, don't you?

NY and SF will best fit your tastes, NYC is much pricier See http://www.bayareavisit.com/NYC.html http://www.bayareavisit.com/photos.html

San Fransisco is amazing and plenty of things to do. The Cable cars. You really don't need your own car to have a super vacation in San Franscisco. Don't forget the Harbour where you can have that lovely seafood meal. Do a Harbour Tour , and see Alcatraz. Ghirardelli Square, not to be missed, and oh! the chocolate. I know you would love this trip. Probably have money left over for New York. (Not New Orleans). Enjoy!

New Orleans is very cultural. You have the food and drinking part. There's an art museum and the D-Day museum. And not as pricey as Cali or NY.

San Francisco, the weather there will be lovely in April and May. Have fun!

If you love art museums New York City is where you want to go. Not only will you have multiple world-class museums to see, but there are also art galleries and auction houses. You will find many interesting sights including ethnic neighborhoods, business districts (financial, fashion, diamond, etc.), an active 24/7night life, history sites from the American revolution and earlier, multiple music venues from Avery Fisher Hall to the Bottom Line and more. The food is unforgettable. Be sure to see what is being offered at the United Nations. Their buffet lunch is one of the best bargains in town. The view is amazing, and they often feature the cuisine of different countries. Lunch at Le Bernardin, next to the Museum of Modern Art, is the best of the best if you like seafood. I could go on.... Because you are planning to go in the spring, think about taking the train to DC to see the cherry blossom festival. Enjoy your trip!
