Most places take credit/debit/atm cards so he should be ok for hotels, car rentals etc. I would suggest taking some cash in case he wants to get a pop from a vending machine or something. I would suggest exchanging to US dollars at his bank BEFORE arriving in the US. He can always access funds later.

Travelers checks are very nice also just in case you get separated from your $$$.

When I travel, I like to take all types of money. Nothing would be worse than being stranded in the Wilds of San Fransisco without any ready cash.

PS, why aren't you going too! San Fransisco is a pretty great town! I'd get in on this if I were you. (:->)

If your worried about it book two double beds for each hotel room, in the U.S. it usually cost the same for two double beds as one king size. So if you two don't mind doing your "cuddling" in a double bed with one empty one in the room you'll be fine. Or you could use one bed for "extracurricular activities" and the other for sleeping. When my dad traveled on business with his boss they just got two beds in the same room. It was cheaper that way rather than having two separate rooms.

I can tell you the closer you get to the center of our great country the more close-minded (generally speaking) the people will be. Now that doesn't mean you won't find close minded ignorant busybodies all over this country. You'll also find some very progressive minded people in the strangest little podunk places. Good luck and safe traveling.

… *rimshot*

And actually, public transit in SF city is Muni. BART is the train/commuter rail lines for the Bay Area in general (but mostly the East Bay).

Try again.

one block away…probably lowest hotel in wharf area…check best western tuscan inn fishermans wharf…check to get best price on hotels.com…that was right in your ballpark at 108 a night…(also recommend grabbing a bite at Scomas on the wharf or taking a walk thru little italy and see what you can find (and i know it sounds cliche but take a cablecar into downtown from the north end of the wharf below ghirardelis)if you can manage to part with a few dollars take a helicopter ride over the sf area…very cool…good luck and have a great trip!)
