Starting off in our old home San Francisco for 3 nites

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." OK....so what if Mark Twain didn`t actually say it - it still holds true and after the blistering/sweltering じめじめ heat of Tokyo, we are very much looking forward to it. We will start at the Hotel Vitale(415 278-3700), which happens to be located near some of our friends. We will download photos and comments as the trip goes along. Also, given this is our first blog....its not going to be perfect. Any thoughts or comments along the way would be most appreciated.
