    Such a great Vlog. I grew up in South City and went to church and worked in SF. I’m hoping to visit while I’m out there! I really enjoyed this! Thank you!

    I visited from the UK in September last yr. Heard all about the problems, spent 6 nights, but didn't deter me from having a great time. Absolutely loved San Francisco, definitely worth a visit. Good video Jay. My favourite excursion was the Red & White Ferry cruise Which takes u from Pier 39 I think, which last 90 mins to under Golden Gate Bridge, then past Alcatraz and onto the Oakland Bay Bridge and back

    Waymo. Was nervous for you and your Uncle but looks like it works. Love that you can sing and not annoy the driver. LOL
    Saw that Hornblower has the boats to Alcatraz. We toured San Diego Bay on Hornblower. Recommend the weekend champagne brunch tour. We love it.
    For a minute I thought you may bump into Bill and Lisa since they were in San Francisco about a month ago then you said you were at Alcatraz on friday Oct 13. This was last year!!!! 😲

    Alcatraz - recommend getting your tickets early, it can be sold out especially during the peak summer season.
    Pier 39 - recommend Fog Harbor restaurant, a classy place where you can have any of the iconic foods of the City.
    Painted Ladies - good move to take Waymo, since that location is a prime car break-in site.
    No cable car ride? It’s a must-do for a tourist, and the California Street line (close to the Financial District and goes along the outside of Chinatown) is less crowded than the popular Powell-Hyde or Powell-Mason line.
    Golden Gate Bridge? Walking it, 1.7 miles each way, is something I highly recommend.

    I watched Waymo drive around the city for a few years and it was so slow, driving behind it through Golden Gate Park so I was skeptical to try it. I've tried it twice now and it does feel pretty safe. Slightly pricier than Uber or Lyft but you also don't have to tip so it even's out.

    I love SF, no major problems going on (none that other major cities don't face anyway), that's just maga fantasies lol. I grew up in San Jose, aka "Silicon Valley", which is part of the San Francisco Bay Area; we touch the south shore of San Francisco Bay. I go up to SF often, as Caltrain or BART will get you there in about an hour. I never learned how to drive, since we have a great public transit system here in the Bay Area.
    These are the big things that I do on a regular basis when going up there:
    -Exploratorium (you were REALLY close to this! It's at Pier 15!)
    -California Academy of Sciences
    -SF Zoo
    -DeYoung Museum
    That's in addition to bowling and miniature golf, but neither of those are really unique to SF 🙂
    The Flyer at Pier 39 is pretty cool, but it's not something that's going to feel new and unique after repeated visits...I'd definitely suggest trying it once though. 🙂
