I want to know:

When will we be where?

What do I need to bring?

How do I get around?

What are my options for meals?

CalTrain on the weekends is going away. This looks to be our last chance (for a couple of years) to ride the train to some of our favorite pubs. We gotta do it.

Step 1:

Take the #146 southbound train, arriving at

CalTrain #	Destination CalTrain Station	Arriving at	Destination Establishment
146	Sunnyvale	12:17	Stoddard's

Your departure time to catch the #146 train will depend on your chosen departure location. We're all adults, and, at this point, we're all sober. Deal.

Steps >1:

Then catch northbound trains at

CalTrain Departure Time	CalTrain #	To CalTrain Station	Arriving at	Destination Establishment
1:14	165	Mountain View	1:19	Tied House
2:19	169	California	2:26	Antonio's Nut House
3:26	173	Palo Alto	3:29	Gordon Biersch
4:29	177	Menlo Park	4:32	British Bankers Club
5:32	181	Redwood City	5:40	City Pub
6:40	187	San Carlos	6:45	Sneakers
7:45	191	Belmont	7:48	Ausiello's Tavern
8:48	195	Burlingame	8:59	Steelhead Brewing

Step last:

10:30 Catch the southbound train back to your starting point

CalTrain Departure Time	CalTrain #	To CalTrain Station	Destination Establishment
10:30	196	Where You Started	Home

There is another southbound train which leaves Burlingame at 12:29. After that, you'll need to find a cab. Or catch the 234 which leaves Burlingame at 8:30 AM on Sunday.

Don't forget to get up for the World Cup Final on Sunday Morning!

Equipment

Money or a friend who will loan you some.
Comfortable shoes for sprinting from the pub to the train as it pulls out of the station.
A healthy thirst.
Cell phones for establishing and maintaining contact with the group.
Snacks for munching while on the train. (optional)
A buddy who will make sure that you get on the train ... or at least have someone to talk with while you both wait for the next train.
ATM card for more money (just in case).

The Marvel of Modern Transportation

You've got to get to a CalTrain station. Walk, bike, whatever. From then on, we ride the rails and pound the pavement. The all-weekend train pass is $9.00. You can get one at train stations with ticket facilities or on the train itself.

But I'm Hungry Now

If you wanted to stop for lunch/dinner, the thing to do would be to spend 2 hours at a location, then catch up to the group by skipping a stop. Or skip a stop and let the group catch up to you.
