Alcohol: San Francisco Airport Transportation

June 23, 2008 – 12:50 pm
When it concerns trips to or from San Francisco, one of the biggest inconveniences is often transport to and from the airport. As someone who lived in San Francisco for numerous years, even I never attempted this feat alone. The trip is simply too stressful and the parking situation is a nightmare. Fortunately, there are numerous alternatives to personal airport transport. Allow me to suggest a few.Transportation to and from San Francisco International AirportSan Francisco International Airport is the largest and most popular airport in the bay area. It is also the most expensive. The reason it is the most expensive is because it is centrally located and therefore the easiest to reach. There are many methods of transport to and from SFO, the most common of which is a taxicab. Cab rides to and from the airport are relatively cheap and very ...

Alcohol: San Jose Airport Transportation

June 22, 2008 – 12:50 pm
For individuals who want to save money on their trips to San Francisco, flying into San Jose Airport is a terrific idea. San Jose is located about 30 to 45 minutes away from the city and features a small but very low-maintenance airport that is easy to navigate and cheaper to use. Sure, the location isnt as convenient as San Francisco International, but what you lose in convenience youll more than make up for in cost.San Jose Airport: A Terrific AlternativeAs someone who lived in San Francisco for many years, I am no stranger to San Jose Airport. I prefer this airport to SFO and Oakland primarily because it is smaller, less crowded, and easier to use. Instead of fighting the crowds at San Francisco International or waiting an eternity in a cab line at Oakland, I simply get off the plane at San Jose, catch ...

Alcohol: Oakland Airport Transportation

June 21, 2008 – 12:50 pm
The San Francisco area is primarily accessible by two airports: Oakland and San Francisco International. Due to the fact that it is cheaper, most visitors prefer to fly into Oakland Airport. Flights into Oakland are almost always less expensive than they are into San Francisco International, and the airport is much easier to use. The only problem with Oakland is getting to and from San Francisco. Fortunately, there are many transport options.Transport to and from Oakland AirportThe best airport transportation for individuals flying into Oakland is BART (Bay Area Rapid Transport). An extremely cheap subway system that gets travelers to and from San Francisco in rapid time, BART is great for individuals who are traveling light. Due to the fact that BART travels beneath the bay (as well as the city itself), there are never any traffic issues. Nor do travelers have to deal ...

Appetizers: Self Catering

June 19, 2008 – 12:50 pm
Self catering can mean one of two things. First, it can mean that you plan and prepare the entire menu by yourself. Or it could mean that you plan the entire menu with the help of a catering service, who will deliver the food to your door and allow you to serve it. Your guests will have no idea that you didnt make the gourmet appetizers yourself, as everything will taste homemade.You might be thinking that this sounds a little like cheating. Well, it isnt. Many a host and hostess have used this method of self catering when they throw big cocktail parties or wedding showers. It really does make sense because it allows you to focus on all the other aspects of planning a party.Self Catering Is A Stress RelieverAnyone who has ever thrown a large party knows that it can be stressful. ...
