Niki Town & lots more.. Its a fun place to be at! Enjoy the city! These can be covered in a Day & they r worth a watch!! U can use the trams of this city or cabs are faster to reach places.

He should enjoy Alcatraz, The San Francisco Zoo, Fisherman's Wharf, Driving down the "crookedest street in the world" (Lombard St), Chinatown, riding a cable car, and Calfornia Academy of Sciences (in Golden Gate Park). The shopping is good at Ghiradelli Square and Pier 39 on Fisherman's Wharf. Also good is the Embarcadero Center (Embarcadero) and Westfield San Francisco Center in Union Square.

Chinatown is a great place to get SF souvenirs at reasonable prices and he can try the hot Chinese pastries (aka: dim sum). They are fun finger foods and mild in flavor so ppl from all kinds of backgrounds like em. There are shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, custard tarts, egg rolls, etc. If he wants some good Italian food/pizza, a visit to North Beach is convenient (next door to Chinatown). The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate park is worth a look. Union Sq is full of high end stores-- Burberry, Saks, Neiman-Marcus, etc. He might like a cable car ride all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. The view of the SF Bay is great-- videos don't cut it. You have to see it in person. Alcatraz (the old jail) is a fun visit too. He won't be bored.

hey buddy! yes its possible to use a train, it will probably take about 4-5 hrs by train, unless it stops to pick up other passengers on the way. I actually drove from san diego to san francisco once, it took almost 9 hrs, I stopped a few times to eat, it as actually quite lovely by the way. San fran is beautiful, its so different, however there are alot of cloudy days but its still a beautiful city, the atmosphere is amazing, hope this helps!
2 :
Actually the train takes about 14 hours and it goes to Oakland. Then they bus you into San Francisco. Go to amtrak.com for more information. This is a very secnic way. But if you want fast, you go Southwest Airlines.
3 :
The train will take 14 hours. It is called the Coast Starlight (Amtrak) and it goes once a day. Another option is to take the train to Los Angeles (this train, the Pacific Surfliner, goes every hour) and then a shuttle (cashuttlebus.com) to SF.
4 :
If you book 14 days in advance, you can get great rates from http://wwwsouthwest.com. It's faster and cheaper to fly than to take the train.

You can maybe walk or swim--hey, they ARE other ways, which is what you asked for. :) (But of course they'd probably normally take too long or be too hard.)
2 :
Try this site http://transit.511.org/
3 :
- Vallejo Transit #80 will get you to the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station (4.50 one-way). http://www.vallejotransit.com/routes.html - You can then take the BART subway into Downtown San Francisco (3.80 one-way). http://www.bart.gov/stations/map/systemMap.asp Using the regular bus-subway combination costs $16.60 round-trip. The ferry costs $23.00 round-trip. If you do it this way, you'll save $6.40. However, you might notice that the passengers on the ferry are a more laid-backed and happy bunch (they have more money).

Public transportation will cost you almost as much as a rental car and will take twice as long. I'd say opt for the car rental. http://tripplanner.transit.511.org/mtc/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?#tab1Selected In future any trip you plan to take in the bay area try 511.org
2 :
Sofitel hotel is in Redwood Shore, you can walk to Belmont Caltrain station, then train to Santa Clara for about $7( 30min), don't know Micro center address, if you need a bus ride, it is another $2 on VTA.

About Was it possible to travel from San Francisco to Guadalajara in the heyday of the Southern Pacific Railroad

Was it possible to travel from San Francisco to Guadalajara in the heyday of the Southern Pacific Railroad?
American railroads were taken away by the Mexican government early in the twentieth century. It seems to me that Mexico lost a lot by this. Was efficient rail travel to and within Mexico one example of this loss? Was San Francisco to Guadalajara one non-stop journey available without changing trains or cars? If so, are there any records of travel on this route? How long did it take? Were there Pullman cars? What did the trip cost? Did anybody write about it?

You could NEVER make that trip, nonstop or even on the SP. You could change trains to a southbound Mexican RR train but you could NEVER make the trip directly.
2 :
The Southern Pacific obtained trackage into Mexico that was originally built by the Santa Fe in a trade for trackage into Southern California. To my knowledge there was no direct service between San Francisco and Guadalajara. Depending on the year, you would have traveled southward from SF to Los Angeles on SP's Coast and Los Angeles Divisions on a number of trains, including the Coast Daylight, the Owl, the Lark or the Del Monte. In LA you would have changed trains to the Sunset and ridden eastward, with access to SP trackage into Mexico at Nogales, Arizona or El Paso, Texas. I'm not sure if there was a rail head in New Mexico, but I don't believe so. At one time I believe SP had over 1,000 miles of trackage in Mexico but I don't know that passenger service was provided. In 1965 I made the trip as a 12 year old from SF to El Paso with my father. John Signor, who happens to be a friend and co-worker of mine has published a book about the SP in Mexico which is very thorough and will answer all questions you may have. I think I can dig up some more info. I'll get back to you here if I do..............
