[K6NCG] trip to the Bay Area

[Ronald Carman]

Hi, Desmond - I hoped to hear back from you also, since I have seen some of your 
posts on the K6NCG website.
I discovered the original shack back in July 1964 when I was on TI for the 
weekend just passing through, but it
became my Navy home, so to speak, and some of my best Navy buddies are fellow 
hams I met there.
Anyway, we plan to come to the Bay area Dec. 29 and stay just a couple of days - 
I am familiar with San Francisco
but my wife has never been there and it's been some years since I visited there.
My wife made reservations on Southwest Airlines to fly into Oakland, since it 
costs a little less than going into
San Francisco, and we have reservations at a hotel not far from Oakland airport, 
which is where I had my private
pilot check ride back in May of 1966 - wow was it that long ago?  I definitely 
want to show her around TI and
compare it now with how I remember it half a century ago!  Of course we want to 
see San Fran and make like
tourists, see the sights, eat at Fisherman's Wharf, etc.  Any recommendations 
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me - I hope to receive word from 
Pete also!
Thanks again!
Ron, K5CXH
