The general plan sounds good to me. My company's office is right at Union Square so I at least know the area to meet. I, too, would recommend the Sutter-Stockton garage and is probably where I'll park. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, September 25, 2005, 2:38:02 PM, you wrote: JB> Sounds good

Sounds good to me. I wanted to add: I don't know how the prices compare, but the Sutter-Stockton garage is even closer to Union square, and there's always space there. That's where I used to park back when I lived in the peninsula and went to the city. Me, I'll be riding a Vespa--maybe a new one t
