Things I wish I had known when I moved here section:

You can be calling long distance within your area code (707) and not have to dial a �1� first!

There are two choices on base for children�s baseball.

Show your military ID at the Geiser and get in for $2.00 instead of $6.00.

There is a commissary in San Francisco that is 30 min. closer than Travis AFB (if you time it right).

You can buy a book of coupons to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and it saves you a little bit of money each time.

You have to buy your tickets for Alcatraz in advance because they are usually sold out two days ahead.

You can buy movie coupon books from MWR and get a free soda and popcorn for every $10.00 you spend instead of buying them from the ticket office and never getting a free popcorn or soda.

You can take the Airporter (in Petaluma)to San Fran (or your DH can...) instead of driving into town.
