During the last day of the Conference for me, Gina made friends with one of the wives of a fellow conference attendee and the two of them took out for the Haight. You can get there by trolley, which is much easier than walking those steep hills! The Haight is quite retro, having hung onto the 60s season of love much longer than one would think humanly possible. And there were several unique shops - to say the least! And though these aren't the Painted Ladies, I think they're just as nice.
No doubt you can tell I'm a Trekker. Took a SeaTrek Cruise to Alaska in 2007 and met several of the Trek stars, including Connor Trineer, Denise Crosby, Robert Picardo, and Ethan Phillips. Made some great friends on that cruise who encouraged me to attend the Las Vegas Convention in 2008. It was a blast and I even spoke to Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) briefly in the Hilton casino - such a thrill!
