I'm off to Google I/O (Google's developers conference) in San Francisco.
So I drove to Denver International Airport, and...
Flew to San Jose (about half the cost of flying to SFO or Oakland). Interesting that the terminal we parked at didn't have jet-ways, so you get to walk down a back and forth ramp.
Took Cal Train to San Francisco
Took a municipal bus to the BART station
And took BART to my hotel (right at the top of the escalator no less!).
The Whitmore Hotel was a decent hotel for the price, older but perfectly serviceable.
