Going on a well-deserved vacation in a couple of weeks.  I am going to go home for a few days and I am also going to San Francisco.

<strong>Part I: Chattanooga</strong>
Taking Dana to Chattanooga to stay at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo over a weekend.  We are going to stay in one of the Victorian Train Cars and do much of the "tourist" activities on Lookout Mountain.

<strong>Part II: Huntsville</strong>
Going to Huntsville for a Monday afternoon before flying out on a very early Tuesday morning.

<strong>Part III: San Francisco</strong>
I don't care too much for air travel ...well, the part before take-off.  Getting to the airport, getting through security, getting on the plane and I have to change planes in Charlotte both ways.  I decided to rent a car since my hotel is near SFO at the <a href="http://www.baylandinghotel.com" target="_blank">Bay Landing Hotel</a>.  I plan to go down to the San Jose area.  I may take public transportation to SF since I heard that parking near the Wharf is limited and metered.  I am going to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, however, there is a toll getting back into SF over the GG Bridge... cheesy!

Flying to San Francisco on Tuesday the 19th of August for 3 days/2 nights.  Leaving early on Tuesday and coming back on a red-eye flight on Thursday to maximize my time in SF.  I am going to go to the <a href="http://www.apple.com" target="_blank">Apple HQ in Cupertino</a>, <a href="http://www.intel.com/museum/" target="_blank">the Intel Museum</a>, possibly <a href="http://www.digibarn.com" target="_blank">DigiBarn Computer Museum</a> or the <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org" target="_blank">Computer History Museaum</a>, and Silicon Valley.

On Wednesday the 20th of August, off to <a href="http://www.fishermanswharf.org/" target="_blank">Fisherman's Wharf</a>, <a href="http://goldengatebridge.org/" target="_blank">Golden Gate Bridge</a>, and <a href="http://www.alcatrazcruises.com/" target="_blank">Alcatraz Island</a>.

On Thursday the 21st of August, I am not completely sure... hopefully, play this one by ear.  Flight doesn't leave until 10:30 or so, so I have all day to get to the airport and drop off my rental car.

<strong>Part IV: Huntsville</strong>
Getting back on Friday morning, I am going to spend the rest of the weekend in HSV with my Mom and visiting friends, just there an additional day.  I will have plenty of pictures and vids to share.  Coming back to Alpharetta on Sunday...
