HOW TO GET FROM SFO AIRPORT TO SACRAMENTO WITHOUT A CAR =)

1. If you have not arrived in the in the SFO International Terminal, go to the International Terminal. Once there, or if your plane arrived there, go to the BART metro station.

2. Board BART and ride it to 12th St. Oakland station. At 12th St. Oakland, transfer for the Richmond train that is waiting across the platform (this is a timed transfer so there is no waiting). Take this train to Richmond Station (last stop on the Richmond line).

3. At Richmond Station, transfer to the Capitol Corridor train, northbound. This will take you all the way to Sacramento. =)

4. At Sacramento, take the light rail ("tram" in euro parlance) Blue Line (either walk or transfer to Blue Line), to I-80/Watt Station.

5. From I-80/Watt East station (final stop on Blue Line), go to the upper level (Watt overpass) and take bus Route 26 southbound, until you get to the hotel, which is about 2.5km away. You can also walk the 2.5km if you feel like it. =)

You've just told me that it's a fine center of commerce, frequented by shrewd businessmen. =)

(I'm not exactly scared of pimps and dealers -- I see them all the time when I walk around the Tenderloin. xD However if it's also frequented by must-get-money-to-buy-fix-no-matter-what crack/methheads, best to not be carrying luggage while walking. They're not very skillful at mugging but they're the least predictable and more prone to do crazy stuff. Pro muggers are more selective about the circumstances and people they hold up. )

So I dunno if Watt Ave. really scares me.

Now the *city of Watts*.... *THAT* scares me at night. =) Don't want to be caught walking while white there. Fortunately I don't go to L.A. much so avoiding Watts is easy.
