Calgon, to add to your travel plans, if anybody wants to do something a little different AND save a little money, if you are flying into Oakland on Southwest and don't have more luggage than you can comfortably schlep yourself, try our plan whenever we go to San Fran. Take a cab up to Jack London Square and tell the driver to drop you at the Waterfront Hotel, from there it is a 100-150 yard walk North to the pier for the Oakland / Alameda Ferry which will take you to Pier 41 which is right at the East end of the Embarcadaro, where it is a short walk to several of the hotels, little longer walk to the HIE. Anybody interested in that the fare is $6.25 / $3.75 for seniors and here is a schedule to see if you can connect. http://www.eastbayferry.com/when/when.html Just don't get off at the ferry building by mistake, that is a real long walk.
