Travel Tips
Touring the Bay Area
When you check into the hotel, you will receive an early arrival packet containing a list of sight seeing opportunities in the Bay Area (including San Francisco) and a map of down-town San Jose plus recommendations on restaurants, museums, and other attractions.
- Wikipedia has a very nice San Jose page.
- Visit the San Jose Convention & Visitors Bureau's website.
- You can also check out the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau.
USA Electricity
Electric power is standardized in all states across the USA. It is set at 110 Volts and 60 cycles. Standard electric plugs have two flat blades. For your electrical items (like your laptop), you may need an adaptor to fit US electrical receptacles and a converter to change the voltage from 110 volts to 220 volts.
