Self-organized activities on Wednesday include anyone wanting to go to Pier 39/Ghirardelli Square and/or visiting CityPass destinations. You might have signed up for one More >

Good evening everyone! I am in San Francisco making final preparations for VMworld Spousetivities 2010. I wanted to take a few minutes to update everyone on the tours. We have had a great response this year to activities but some days have been more popular than others. To keep costs down, a couple of tours that have been offered on multiple days have now been combined.

The Monday photographic tour is getting full, but there is still room if you want to enjoy this trip. This trip is repeated on Wednesday as well. This is a great activity for either of More >

I wanted to send this out so that everyone could stay up to date on the progress of the plans for this year at VMworld. Due to reservation requirements, we have had to cancel a couple of tours, but rest assured, those have been replaced with other exciting events. For the latest registration information, please visit the Spousetivities registration site. Make sure to register for the free breakfast and t-shirt while you are there. All of these activities are family friendly, except possibly the wine tour, which may not interest younger children.
