Hello, My family and I stayed at the Hilton in St. Augustine - it is across the street from the beach and a mile or two from the town but it was very clean and nice we didnt have any problems. Online the room booked for around a hundred a night but, at the grocery store entrance I found a visitors coupon book and it had a deal for the hotel at 79 a night plus tax. Hope this helps you !

Thank you, all Iris_gal, I have the Sony H5 Although, I have not seen the red in a Nursery, but it is fairly common around here. I saw it growing in two or three different places while coming to the office this morning. Kathy, the nursery I got it from said it's a Saint Patrick, but like you said it probably doesn't really look like one. Aamir Waheed

How long are you staying? I hope you have a week. There's so much to see. SF is very expensive. We've been there several times, most recently this past October. We were fortunate to stay at the Westin St. Francis right on Union Square because my DH was presenting at a convention. Be prepared for costly meals too. As I recall there was an extra tax on our dinner bill to cover some ridiculous 'health care coverage.' As a Canadian that one will really annoy you. Not all places add the fee. This is from the link below: ......... "The next time you eat in a restaurant in San Francisco, take a closer look at the bill. You may see a new line item there, a "health" fee to cover employeesâ healthcare.... The rationale for this one is to cover the employersâ mandatory contribution to the CityâÂÂs "Healthy San Francisco" health-coverage system. The charge actually is levied on employers, but at least some restaurants are adding a few dollars or percentage points to each customerâÂÂs bill to cover this charge. The restaurantsâ excuse for assessing this charge separately is to let customers know how much theyâÂÂre paying for employeesâ health coverage. ThatâÂÂs the same excuse hotels use when they add "resort" or "housekeeping" fees to unsuspecting guestsâ room bills. ItâÂÂs the same excuse airlines would use to exclude fuel surcharges from their advertised fares if the Department of Transportation would allow them. And itâÂÂs sheer nonsense. Employeesâ health insurance is no less of a cost of doing business than rent, property taxes, food costs, security services and all the other inputs businesses require to operate. To single out health care for a separate surcharge is unwarranted." Here is a link that might be useful: another fee

It is crazy Laurent. I stumbled across a site where a haworthia was being sold for over $4000. Wow! I'm sure this jade seller now knows that her plant is worth "gold." LOL! Good to hear some are thinking it's the variegated compact variety although there were some doubts earlier. I bought mine last Summer when it was hot so I'm really hoping it will grow this season.
