  1. Are you staying in Port Aransas (or North Padre or in between)?
  2. The beach curfew is being enforced. Police cars were driving up and down the beach at NPI at 8:30p and kicking everyone off.
  3. Good drone footage of Bob Hall Pier
  4. Last night in NPI they had trucks stationed at the beach road entrances, telling people the beach access was closing at 8pm. They also had trucks driving up and down the beach, kicking people off the beach.
  5. Was in North Padre from Wed to Sunday. The beach on Wednesday was surprisingly crowded. Thursday and Friday at the beach was more spaced out. Saturday was jam packed - some areas were two or three cars deep. Sunday was quiet in the morning and busy in the afternoon. The weekend felt like a busy summer weekend. If you are trying to stay away from people on the beach, my advice is go in the morning and be prepared to leave around noon. Lots of people walk close by you, don't distance, etc. Didn't go to any restaurants/bars/stores. A co-worker went recently and said they were crowded and few people were wearing masks. Important info - Stripes is advertising curbside pickup
  6. Is the MetCenter course open?
  7. Anyone booked any new travel after July? Wondering if it's time to make plans for late summer or fall.
  8. No. Go to Casita Guanajuata. It's that good.
  9. Now there's articles/rumors that he goes off the Bachelor script. It's hard to tell if ABC is promoting it or just playing along with it.
  10. I tried really hard to watch this show. I thought it would be enjoyably bad. But it's painful bad.
  11. Don't stay in Nob Hill or Fisherman's Wharf. Fisherman's Wharf is a boring outdoor mall. Both are too far from most SF activities. Stay in Union Square, SOMA or Embarcadero area. Close by transit, activities and easy to walk to neighborhoods
  12. Never been there but Sipapu is one of the resorts that has free season passes for kids 10 and under, plus 5th and 6th graders: https://www.sipapu.ski/lift-tickets-passes/free-season-passes/ This doesn't include rentals or lessons.
  13. I've had good luck with Rising Sun, just off Anderson Ln. It's walking distance to Whataburger
  14. Some caches have small toys/junk. It's great for little kids. Not all caches have it - usually the size of the cache determines if there's room for stuff like that.
  15. It's a great way to explore small towns on road trips. Caches are usually in old cemeteries, historical parts of town, etc.
  16. Backstory on the Taiwanese cake shop: https://blog.lewislee.net/2019/10/parasite-understanding-underlying-tragedy-of-taiwanese-cake-shop/
  17. Saw it a few days ago. Excellent film. It has that mix of tension, drama, random violence and comedy that I associate with South Korean films Very enjoyable.
  18. Deer jumping onto the hood of my car
  19. You deprived your kids: https://www.tacobell.com/blog/Coolesttacobells https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/taco-bell-the-greatest-taco-bell-in-the-world-is-in-pacifica-ca
  20. Did you stop by the Taco Bell in Pacifica aka the best Taco Bell in the world?
  21. A few more ideas: Wave organ - go around high tide The SF City Guides - free walking tour. Lots of interesting topics and the guides are good: http://www.sfcityguides.org/current_schedule.html Ferry Building - Farmer's Market on Sat morning/early Sat afternoon - good food, good views (go the back of the Ferry Building)
  22. This website has some good ideas: https://thepointsguy.com/guides/why-families-should-use-british-airways-avios-points-for-a-beach-vacation/ We ended up buying tickets to LAX and using Avios for the LAX to Maui flight.

    W Anderson Lane

    A little bit of a stretch for Anderson Ln but this thread needs more traffic.. Went to Julie's Noodles in the Target shopping center on 183 & Ohlen. Had the spicy beef noodle soup, which was delicious and spicy. I was sweating, drinking water and couldn't stop eating them. Wife had the soup dumplings, which she said was "okay", so may have been an off night for soup dumplings because reviews for the place have been raving about the soup dumplings. Atmosphere is zero. It's similar to Asia Cafe. Serve yourself water/hot tea, silverware, bowls, etc.
  24. An interesting article with very interesting statistics about the homeless issue in SF: https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/24-hours-homelessness/
