- I'll be attending a training course in Alameda (at Wind River Systems)
- sometime in February and I figured that many readers of this newsgroup
- might actually live in that area, and might have some information that
- could make my visit more enjoyable.
-
- Wind River Systems suggested a few hotels in the area including:
- The Waterfront Plaza Hotel
- 10 Washington Street
- Oakland
-
- Marina Village Inn
- Pacific Marina
- Alameda
-
- Garratt Mansion
- 900 Union Street
- Alameda
-
- and
- Executive Inn
- 1755 Embarcadero Drive
- Oakland
-
- The classes are a Monday through Friday type deal and I'll probably be
- arriving and leaving on surrounding Sundays.
- I've been to S.F. before, only for a long weekend, not long enough, and
- never made it to Oakland. Had to do the touristy stuff then: Wharf,
- GG Bridge, China Town, Muir Woods, Sausalito, Lombard St, I know
- I missed alot. Any comments/suggestions on the above hotels and or what
- I should try to catch/see/taste in the area in my solo time away from
- the class would be appreciated.
-
- My interests are varied so info on anything from museums to
- bars will be welcome. Preferably places where one can go alone
- without feeling terribly uncomfortable.
-
- Since this probably doesn't have much appeal as a general destination
- perhaps you could respond to me via e-mail rather than through a
- posting if you've got some input concerning beautiful Alameda.
-
- Thanks in advance.
