Mai Tai and I live 5 minutes away from Forbidden Island...dangerously close for our own good... 
You could easily spend the evening only at Forbidden Island and have a lovely time. If you choose to go to the other local tiki bars, FI is in close proximity to them: Tonga Room and TV SF are 20 - 25 minutes North, Conga Lounge and Kona Club are 15 minutes East, and TV Emerville is 20 minutes North East.
Cheers!

What love! I'll check with my fellow-car mates and see what works for all--I'm flexible.
Looks like my vehicle is "booked", but if anyone pulls out, I'll start a list. I'm also checking with another girlfriend. She has a SUV, if I can twist her arm, she'll be able to haul another 2-3 people.
I do want to hit FI and would like to see the Tonga Room in SF and whatever else we have time for or what others would like to hit...
A mini-crawl? Damn, I'm driving. Cheers!

Drats! Martiki -- we were looking forward to your mixologist skills.
So far, we were thinking of hitting FI on Thurs. evening and pretty much planting ourselves there for the evening. We will probably need to find someplace to stay within stumbling or short taxi ride distance, otherwise we risk passing out and getting rolled.

There's a Day's Inn a mile away, with some nice mid-century details and good rates.
A bunch of us stayed there after the fab New Years Eve party at FI.
Check it out:

Suzanne,
You can take BART to downtown Oakland and the AC Transit 51 bus from there to Santa Clara and Bay (1 block from FI). We'd like to see your face there sometime soon!

I booked a room today with 2 queen beds at the Days Inn in Alameda for Thurs. March 8th. I'm also bringing an inflatable queen bed. Here's the address and contact number of the motel in case anyone else is interested in joining the convoy.
Days Inn Alameda
1925 Webster Street
Alameda, CA
510-521-8400
The rate I was quoted was $79.00+taxes.
I'm in the process of looking into rooms in SF. Cheers!

I looked up the hotel that was used for last SF crawl in 2006. Unless anyone is opposed, I’m booking us for the balance of our stay Fri. March 9 thru Sun. March 11th (check out) at The Phoenix Hotel (601 Eddy St., San Francisco, CA (415) 766-1380). Apparently, it’s pretty close to the SF Trader Vic’s)
