Directions

When in San Francisco DO NOT trust the little maps you get from hotels. They're not-to-scale and they conveniently omit streets in order to fit every district plus a little arrow pointing to the airport into an 8.5 x 11 rectangle. A six block walk on the map is a 3 mile journey in reality.
Technical evangelist and late coffee convert, Kathryn cheerfully explained to me how her Blackberry gives excellent directions and makes toast and that she hasn't held a paper map since high-school geography. From now on maps will be considered souvenirs or art material and not a guidance tool.
