GD - don't listen to any of these people. We're going to spend the day - the whole day - at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum (as long as you take me to yours when I come to visit).

We'll have to go up to Hollywood as the one in Buena Park's closed.

...and of course our Stinking Rose restaurant - or perhaps our excellent Rainforest Cafe.

Damn I'm jealous.

It's not Folsom time, so I'm out of suggestions.

I feel like a kid....suddenly my family says "We're going on vacation!"

It's a great surprise and I'm very excited!

Whatever we do I'll be in awe of simply being up there.

I like Ghirardelli Square. It smells heavenly in the ice cream shoppe!

If both cable car and Fisherman's Wharf are on your list, I suggest taking the Powell Street cable car from the Powell Street end and then when done at Fisherman's Wharf walking back to Union Square via North Beach then Chinatown.

It is a lot of walking but much more interesting than just passing through the various neighborhoods on a bus.

OMG, how could I forget Ghirardelli Square?!

Because other than the presence of the Ghiradelli ice cream shop (identical to WDW's) it is just another yuppie mall? There are some interesting art galleries on the neighboring streets but other than to say you've been there and maybe eat crab standing on the sidewalk I'd recommend as little time in the Fisherman's Wharf/Ghiradelli Square area as possible.

Also, when the guy behind the bush jumps out at you, do me a favor and cockpunch him.
