Question
hello, my family and I will be visiting San Francisco and we
will most likely be staying only for approximately 2-3 days.
I would like to know some places to visit and go sight
seeing that would take at least 2 days. I heard that
Fisherman's Wharf is a must. I have done a little research
but can you tell me more about Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz
Island, Union Square, San Francisco Zoo and Twin Peaks.
Which places do you recommend? Suggestions?

Answer
Hi Dylan

Thanks for the question.  I'm away from home and have limited internet access.  I recommend going to my pages on San Francisco at Virtualtourist.com.  Do a destination search for San Francisco, CA,, then scroll down to see a list of the top 5 contributors on the right.  I'm number two, and have many hundreds of images and tips about this wonderful city.  I would skip Alcatraz and even Fisherman's Wharf, but it all depends upon what you like to do.

Good luck...
