My lady and I are heading to San Francisco for a couple of weeks at the end of November, and we plan to tour California. What are the must-do things to see? Any tips, money no object?
Come to Davis and give me this no object money you speak of.
srsly the best thing to do here

Freaking impossible even with my Fiance's Dad's black Amex concierge service (anyone know anyone who can sort that for me?)

I am sure there is a gay joke in there somewhere.
You're going to fly all the way to California for French food?

It is widely recognised as one of the top two or three restauarnts in the world!! Might as well try, while I am planning to be in the hood.

I suppose, but should I ever make it to France, I refuse to order lobster.
I hope you have a great trip :)
By the by, and I'm not sure why, but I always picture your lady friend as Natalie Portman. I thought you'd like to know.

Oh, and what week is it that you'll be there (and trying to get a reservation, and at what location)?

Week of the 24th - 30th November, and it is the Franch Laundry in the Napa Valley I am desperate to eat at.

Which part of California are you touring? Are you planning to stay in Northern California? Wine country is always a standard visit. You can also visit the Winchester House, Hearst Castle, Alcataz Island, Yosemite National Forest.
Swing by Fresno. We can....shoot some pool or maybe post from a laptop somewhere. It would be a hoot.

She: What are we doing today honey?
Me: Well, I thought we could go shoot pool with some geeks I met on the internets.....why you lookig at me like that?
No specific plans yet, but thinking of swingin by Yosemite, Napa Valley, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and maybe LA. Might hop on a plan to Hawaii or Mexico instead of some of that, might do some skiing if it dumps in November.

She must know you're an internet geek by now.

Well she knows I spend too much time dedicated to fantasy football, but the EQ stuff is still under wraps.

Does she know that you don't reply to PMs from other women? Cause that may be in your favor.

It'll never work unless she gets to know the real you, Monkey-man.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
While IN-N-OUT isn't the be all end all of burgers, as far as a fast food joint goes, it is quite good. If you are in need of a quick bite to eat I would certainly recommend it over any other fast food joint.
While you are in California find an authentic mexican restaurant. Also, eat at the greasiest, nastiest looking street side taco stand that you can find. If you don't die of salmonella or e.coli it will be the best taco you've ever had.
Do go to alcatraz.
DO go to las vegas. DO something that doesn't involve gambling. You could spend a year in las vegas and not see everything that city has to offer (coming from someone whos been over 20 times).
If you do go to las vegas, consider stopping by the hoover dam. If you do stop by the hoover dam, be mindful that there is an IN-N-OUT quite close to it.
Do try some California home-grown, if thats your thing.

Wow...angry Hippo is not dead. I lost out on the pool.
I voted for the other guy.
If you're serious about visiting NorCal, Pat, send me a PM here and I'll see what I can do to meet up with you while you're here if you are interested. Muy frio.

Oh, and the long term forecast is for dry and warmer conditions, so no snow skiing, buddy. Sorry.

In-N-Out is delicious. I took a road trip to San Diego (from St. Louis) last summer, and being a Big Lebowski fan, In-N-Out was a must. We also shopped at a Ralph's :D
The San Diego area is beautiful. The gaslight district, or whatever their 'old downtown' is called, has a lot of nice restaurants, and is a very short walk from the pier on the ocean. (Which was my first time to the Pacific, btw)
I could definitely recommend southern California for a destination, but with the wildfires you may want to stay further north >.>;;
