Well Flock,

Checking out of the pond for a couple days. Off to wurk. Be back Sunday afternoon....

[size=x-large]QUACKERS!!!![/size]
 
Please don't tell me the Bank of Bruce Masterquack Cards are bogus!!! Is that why he knows about the Get Out of Jail Free card?
 
Do you think that it is safe for an impressionable teenager to go with this group?

I have never been to San Fran so I am up for anything. I would really like to take in a baseball game if possible.

Thanks for the pictures snowblower, I'm sure that you had a great time on your cruise.

Everyone have a great weekend

Gram - We are planning on staying in SF after the cruise, will book a room at the HIE in a few weeks.
 
Mornin' Glories!!

Calgon - safe work weekend!

Ewheelock - we are in for a game to. Where do you like to sit? We like to sit somewhere in-between 1st and third, preferably as close to home plate as possible and at least on the 1st tier of seats. I haven't looked at the AT&T park seating charts yet, but that is our general area. If you want, since I am buying 4 tickets, I can just get yours when I get mine and then mail it to you and you can mail me a check. Or, if enough DDD's want to go, maybe we'll get a Group set of tickets. We'll get it worked out after the 1st of the year. Can't wait! :)

Cry from Corky: Oh please don't tell me this is true as I am counting on mine to get me through San Francisco!!! :lol

Quack-quack DDD's and Happy Saturday!!
 
:wave :wave :wave



Thanks Jim for replying to my post. Looking forward to seeing you and Claire again.
 
Good luck in getting the tickets you want Corky. Last year they were very hard to come by, AND they are extremely proud of their tickets (read as rather on the expensive side). After taking all that into consideration, the only location available was at the end of base lines by the foul poles, and very high up. Next year, we will be looking to see who is playing when we are there. Depending on who is there and what is available, we also may be getting some tickets
 
Tobyn - I have the Faith in the tickets. :) Faith or dumb one. :lol

When we sailed out of Seattle, we went in 3 days early and ran the city. One night we went to the Mariners...we got our tickets months ahead of time and somehow Lucked out and got directly behind home plate and up about 20 rows. We paid $50 a piece for those tickets X 4 = $200. Ouch. I will be anxious to see how much they are in SF. I don't mind spending a bit if I have to - don't wanna - but will if I have to.
 
QUACK - QUACK !!

Just something we might want to consider ... If we get enough Ducks & DITs to go to a game, we might want to get a message played on the scoreboard ... Maybe something along the lines of:

SF GIANTS SAY AHOY
CRUISE @DDICTS
DUCK CREW
Sec XXX / Seats XX - XX

Calgon - Fantastic prices and thanks for sending the website - it is now in my Bookmarks!!
I personally would like to be in the following:
Yellow Premium Lower Box $44 - $50 Sec. 105 - 126
Purple Lower Box $34 - $42 Sec. 105 -126
Club Infield $68 - $72 Sec 207 - 225 (If I win the lottery) :D And, if I do, we are ALL going!!!

But, if we go as a Group, I'll take any seat as long as it is a real seat and not a Bleacher. I found out at the Cubs in June that I am now to old for bleacher seats. :lol

When we went to the Mariners, how I got such good seats is I just didn't accept the first seats that came up, I kept trying for better ones, and finally got the good ones. I guess they start out with the ones that are furthest out, I dunno, but it worked. LOL

J.E.M. - You and Claire are in. :)

We'll have to make a note of who is in for a baseball game later in the year, after we find out their schedule for 2009.
 
Quack Quqack good morning ducks and dits. Sounds like you are having lots of fun planning fun excursions--I want to get to Giridilias for the hot fudge sundae and to Boudins for clam chowder and sitting in lobby and hugging everyone when they come in. . Jaquie do you really think there will be room for us to eat at IHop course I will be only one looking for parking place. have a fun week end all.

Cable Car Info -

San Francisco's cable cars are one of the city's signature attractions. Invented in 1873, cable cars have traveled up and down San Francisco's hills ever since, except for two years in the 1980s when the system was closed for repairs.

Three lines remain in San Francisco: Powell-Hyde, Powell-Mason, and California Street. Tourists flock to ride the cable cars resulting in hour-long waits at the cable car turnarounds. Here are some tips to help you avoid the long waits:

Ride the California Street line. If you just want to ride a cable car and don't care about the views or don't need to go to either Union Square or Fisherman's Wharf, ride the California Street line. There are almost never lines to board the cars at the ends of the line at California Street & Van Ness Avenue and California & Market Streets. Many visitors find themselves at the foot of Market Street, near the Ferry Building, so can easily get to the Market Street end of the California Street line. If you want to go to Fisherman's Wharf or Union Square from this end, take the California Street Line to Powell Street and transfer to one of the two Powell Street lines. You will have to pay the $5 fee on both cars unless you buy a Muni Pass ($11/one day, $18/three days, $24/three days).

Ride the Powell Street lines before 9:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. The Powell-Hyde line runs from Powell and Market Streets to Aquatic Park, near the Cannery and Ghirardelli Square. This is the most popular line as it passes by the top of "The Crookedest Street in the World," Lombard Street. Long waits are not uncommon at the ends of the line. By traveling early in the day or in the evening, you may avoid a long wait.

The Powell-Mason line travels from Powell and Market Streets to Taylor and Bay Streets, near Fisherman's Wharf. This line too has long waits, so try to ride the car in the early morning or evening.

Take the Powell-Mason line from Fisherman's Wharf to Union Square. If you want to travel from Fisherman's Wharf back to Union Square, the wait for the Powell-Mason cable car at Taylor and Bay Streets is usually shorter than the wait for the Powell-Hyde cable car at Aquatic Park.

Board the Powell Street lines away from the ends of the lines. There is frequently a long wait to board the cable cars at Powell and Market Streets. Sometimes you can squeeze on the cars by just walking a few blocks up Powell Street. The further you get away from the ends of the lines, the easier it is to squeeze on a car. Many riders disembark at California and Powell Streets, Hyde and Lombard Streets (Crooked Street), and the Cable Car Museum at Washington and Mason Streets, so these are good spots to board a cable car.

I hope this information helps you to enjoy your ride on the only cable cars in an American city.

Keep it up, Calgon!!! Another Very useful bit of much needed information for us first timers. The above is now copied and saved into my Word document labeled: San Francisco - Things to do and see. You are proving to be quite the "local" man about town. I think we should all stick to you like ducks on a pond. Where you go, we go. :lol

Maw - I am in for IHOP and the soup in the bowl place. :)
 
I LOVE those sour dough bowl dishes at Boudin's....I had the beef stew and it was to die for. Is the IHOP near the hotel? We didn't make it there last time....I think we went to a Denny's for breakfast one day which I think would be in the same block as HIE but on the side street. I am in sor the sundae excursion too and I MUST do the cable cars this trip. I'll pass on the baseball though....I am not a ball fan but I think that is a GREAT idea for those of you who enjoy the sport.
 
Ok I'am in for the sundae at Ghirardelli & the bread bowl soup & a ride on the cable car. I'll pas on the ball game also.
 
okay Corky. Tockets usually go on sale in February. We are definitely interested, but will make a difference on who is visiting, where the seats are available, and the cost. There are four of us, so the cost add up quickly.
