    Getting TO/AROUND: In San Francisco you must remember that most streets are ONE WAY! so make sure you are driving the right way down a one way street! You will probably drive into SF from 101 from the North or South or 580 from the East. Traffic is horrible in the mornings and the afternoons, so please allow yourself extra time to get where you need to go. The same can be said for Los Angeles. Traffic is worse here in L.A. simply because the roads aren't in as good of condition as they are up in the S.F. area.
    If you are staying in the San Francisco East Bay area, my recommendation is to take BART. BART is VERY safe and is a very comfortable ride. Also, when you are in SF if you have the chance, take BART rather than MUNI, the bus. MUNI is nowhere near as reliable as BART, but MUNI has, for obvious reasons, better accessibility. Of course you could walk in SF, but remember we have lots of hills and distances may be farther than they appear.
