It's really not all that bad, in fact my commute over the Bay Bridge into the city this morning went faster than usual. It will be getting back to the East Bay that will be a challenge since the folks going to the northern part of the East Bay will have to detour along my usual route towards Alameda.

You'll have no problem getting between Alameda and San Francisco. Your biggest problems will come getting to Trader Vic's in Emeryville from San Francisco, and getting to Alameda from Trader Vic's. But it can be done. Detours have been set up and are clearly marked. I suggest going to cbs5.com to check their coverage on the recommended alternate routes. By the time you get here, most of the locals will have adjusted and things will be moving smoothly.

Do not cancel this leg of the trip! Trader Vic's, FI, and the Tonga Room are all worth enduring a little bit of traffic trauma to get there! Hope this helps, and let us know what your itinerary is when you're in town so some of the local Ohana can meet up with you!
