I am taking my fiancée on a mini vacation for her birthday. Which of these two places would you choose and why? What is there to do in either of these cities? We are going the weekend of the 12th in October. Never been to either city so any advice would be helpful

Actually it's not. A riverwalk hotel and the hospitality and food is excellent. Their are tons of things to do. BUT, having been to both (San Antonio a lot) San Fran is an easy choice. So much more beautiful, Napa, Alcatraz, Ghiradelli Square, Pier 39, trolleys etc is just so nice.Originally Posted by ripomatic

I would go to San Fran and if u have a car (if u dont get one) take the 2 hr drive to South Lake Tahoe as well. -

I vote San Fran -- San Antonio is fun, but once you've seen the Alamo and cruised the Riverwalk there isn't a whole lot left that is overly impressive. Food is solid, and its a cool environment. I haven't done any missions tours yet, but if you aren't big history buffs I think SF should win out.

For whatever reason these are two places she picked when I asked. I want to go to Seattle, Denver or Portland. My alternate motive is to try and get in a football game, the giants are in San Fran that weekend.Originally Posted by Jaybone2315

If you play golf The Quarry in San Antonio is a must play. It's one of the most unique awesome golf experiences there is. Possibly my favorite round of golf ever was there

If you go to candlestick, my only advice would be to get there super early. The logistics of getting in and out of that stadium/parking lot are among the worst Ive ever seen. Its basically one way in and one way out, and public transportation isnt an option.

If you're only going somewhere for a day or two, I hate to say it, but I'd go to San Fran. There really is no place like it. The political climate and all the weirdos make it just about the last place I would ever want to live, but there is excellent scenery, food and compact enough that you can get to lots of stuff to do within a day or two. You'll be busy enough that you probably won't have time to notice the things that make is such an awful place to be for more than a weekend. If you get a chance, drive to the top of the tallest hill in the People's Republic of Berkeley. It's one of the most impressive views in the country.
If you are going for three days or more, S.A. is the easy choice. Spend a day and night on the riverwalk (Hotel Valencia is the tits), and then venture out to the Hill Country, New Braunfels, Austin and Lockhart. That part of TX is a whole different world. Great food, nice, friendly people, beautiful country and lots of stuff to see and do - just quite a bit more spread out than the SF Bay Area, and tough to do in a couple days. -

I'd love to go to SA, my dad was stationed in Corpus Christ and always loved SA, have an aunt who lives there too. But c'mon, the area around SF is world class nature. Aint no way Texas is competing with a drive down the California coast, into the forests, mountains, or wine country.Originally Posted by El Burro

I live in San Francisco, I'm not a weirdo or even super liberal, but I don't need everyone to think the same to feel comfortable.
You can take public transportation to Candlestick.
I can answer questions, but I can't tell you whether NorCalJeff is a real person. Lots of cool places to go here and lots of great food and drink.
San Antonio is a very nice place too. -
