Northern California Travel in Downtown SF
northern california travel Northern California travel to the Bay area more notably downtown San Francisco could not be more beautiful now and in the coming months. What many who live on the other end of the country don’t realize about northern California travel during the colder months is that it is actually wet and cold. Yea, I know that sounds redundant but southern California travel and the weather there is light years different from the cities nearer to Oregon.

Travelocity
is offering a 3-night stay in the Handlery Union Square Hotel with flight for a price around 400 dollars. This hotel is located in the heart of San Francisco and since the MLB season recently began, you may want to catch a Giant’s game without Barry Bonds. This hotel is near top of the line shopping, trolley transit and all that comes with the heart of a classy city.

If you have never ridden a trolley in a metropolitan city then you have missed one of those unique experiences. I remember a guy hanging off a SF trolley that got his camera string caught on a parked car mirror before it was ripped off. Those are memories.

Let the Games Begin!

Scientific American’s resident skeptic Michael Shermer writes about the doping scandals plaguing cycling, baseball and other sports, and he suggests how to curb those practices. Please ignore him. It would be a global tragedy if his meddling were to ruin the most eagerly awaited competitions of 2008.

No, not this summer’s Olympics. Those will of course be modestly fun demonstrations of physical prowess. The pursuit of true excellence is cruel and unforgiving, however, which is why devotees of the absolute best in athletic achievement instead turn to the quadrennial Hyper Games.
