Here's how we took a weekend trip from San Francisco to Taipei and still make it back in time for our Monday morning meetings.

Even though I live in San Francisco, a city where there is always stuff going on, I still love weekend trips out of the city.  I mean, as cool as San Francisco is, how many times can you take the Alcatraz tour before you want to stab your eye with a pencil? Frankly, it probably doesn’t help that most people my age, base both their personal and professional lives within the city limit.
