meerzee...if you have no plan this morning and feel like driving about an hour and half from your place to go here in San Jose, I'll show you where the big boys (cars) hang out every Saturday morning and give you a tour in Santana Row Village Shopping Center and have lunch in Maggianos and go to Valley Fair across the street, it's kinda like a big mall and got some nice store

I'll PM you my cell #

I never missed my Box anymore than today.

Perfect weather, winding redwood forest/coast roads. Went to Armstrong State Park then over to Duncan Mills, then Bodago Bay....Stopped at a bunch of overlooks on the Sonoma Coast overlooking the ocean.....nothing like today, weather was perfect with no fog. Such an amazing place, quite intense --- really enjoyed Goat Rock Park or something like that. So far, not really impressed with the food, but then again --- it is pretty hit and missin most places of the country.

Ahhhh....CA seems like Bimmer land --- lordy they are everywhere. Saw a handful of Stuttgart's best today, but not many --- lots of Miatas and S2Ks.... no Boxsters at all for the last 2 days.

Thanks for all of the info guys.

Meerzee-
You may be back in New Orleans now. To see a Boxster, you might need to visit my winery in Napa. We're about 5 minutes from downtown Napa, nestled against the East foothills. I just joined the Boxster owner club two days ago. It was a nice post harvest bonus to myself! Been having a great time driving it the last few days in our incredible Fall weather. I just joined the forum to learn a little more about my new car - a 2003 Boxster S.

FYI, I visit New Orleans usually once a year as it is one of our markets for our wine outside of California. I always look forward to the great food!

I'll pm you in case you are still around.

We just got back from San Fran and had the best time.

I would highly recommend www.greatpacifictour.com and do the Carmel trip. It was great. Cynthia knew all the best stops.

We also did the Movie City Tour. Another great day including trip to Golden gate park and Lucas Film Studio.

You don't want to miss the Alcatraz tour. It is a must see.

We also went to 2 wineries but I don't remember the names.

I assume you mean Bodega Bay. While up there, you should have taken Skaggs Springs -- it's like a roller-coaster race track tarmac through stunningly beautiful landscape... and no traffic.
