Just a quick note before the off to say thanks to various
contributors for the tips on Las Vegas and San Francisco. I
ordered Tim Powers' _Last Call_ on the strength of the
recommendation, and it arrived this morning
(that's my in-flight reading taken care of. I will endeavour
to keep my hand on my valuables around Fremont Street and the
rough end of the strip (I'm staying up the posh end,
btw!).
We may have a guide around San Francisco--we'll have to see
if that happens--but as we're only there for a few hours
(literally, a flying visit!) there won't be time to spend a
day at Alcatraz or half a day doing the whole of Don Herron's
Hammett Tour (I don't know where I picked up the idea from,
but I have a notion that the whole tour takes four
hours).
Don Herron's tour is actually scheduled to run on Sundays,
but later in the year. I've got a copy of the tour book, that
DH signed for Gordon De Mano in 1982, which I intend to take
along with me. As we'll be there on a Sunday, I'm still
wondering if I should see if he'd be willing to come out,
albeit off-season, for the latter part of the tour and a
beer. :-)
