Hey guys! My girlfriend and I are planning a week-long vacation to San Fransisco before I leave for Scout training at Fort Knox. I'm pretty overwhelmed with the amount of hotels to choose from,so I was wondering if anybody knew anything about specific locations in the bay area that would be good to stay at. Also feel free to point out anything in the city I should check out. Thanks!

When you hit Sausalito, go Kayaking in the bay as long as it's not windy, you can see some sea lions etc..., it's a cool thing to do and only takes half a day. You can drive from S.F. to Sausalito in 15 minutes. Portrero hill is a cool spot for a quiet dinner and walk, make sure you go to the top of the hill, the bottom is not good. Awesome views of the city. For directions (you will need them inSF, lots of 1 way streets and dead ends because of hills) look for Chez Papa or Eliza's on google maps (both food places)
If you like wine, spend a day in Sonoma wine country (less crowded than Napa), The Wine Room is a lil co op wine tasting place that is still getting rave reviews, NO FEE wine tasting.
They also recently opened a new http://www.calacademy.org/ in Golden Gate park. I've been meaning to go there just been busy w/ work. It has all types of cool stuff
Or you can just spend half a day walking the entire length of GG park. They have a cool JPN tea garden, and mini ecosystems throughout.

Someone mentioned Tenderloin?

(03-17) 12:30 PDT SAN FRANCISCO --
Three people have been arrested in the killing of a woman last month in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, a slaying that police believe stemmed from a dispute over missing drugs, authorities said today.
The three face possible murder charges in the death of Leticia Hunter, 33, who was shot and killed the night of Feb. 23 during an argument at Turk and Taylor streets. Five other people were wounded.
Hunter had a drug-related record in San Francisco but may not have been the killers' intended target, police say.
Homicide Lt. Mike Stasko said the shooting followed a street dispute involving several women over missing narcotics. Stasko said police are trying to determine what role Hunter had in the dispute, if any.
Hunter was on the street with other members of her family when a Mercedes-Benz SUV drove up, two men got out and one of them opened fire, police said.
Officers who responded to the shooting chased the SUV across the Bay Bridge into Oakland, but abandoned the pursuit out of concern for public safety, authorities said. The vehicle was found burning a few hours later on an Oakland street.
Investigators developed leads from the chase, however, and determined that one of the suspects had an unspecified connection to the SUV. On Saturday they arrested Javon Fee, 28, of Oakland, Rorico Reyna, 31, of Hayward, and Barbara Barnes, 24, of San Francisco.
Police say Fee and Reyna were in the SUV when officers chased it. Barnes was with the two men before the shooting and was on the street when the shots were fired, police said. Authorities would not discuss her alleged role in the killing.
The three suspects are being held at San Francisco County Jail on $2 million bail apiece. Prosecutors with District Attorney Kamala Harris' office will decide by today whether to file charges.
Reyna was already wanted on multiple warrants for an alleged federal probation violation and cases involving drugs, drunken driving and reckless driving in Oakland, authorities said.
Fee has a conviction on his record in a federal drug case involving a gang in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood.
