Alcatraz has been on my list to see for years.  I used to get to SF about 3x a year for work, but never built in any 'free time' for myself.  My boys were all little, needed to get out and back as quick as possible.   I finally decided to stay an extra night, just so I could get out to Alcatraz.   It rained sideways all day so I never had a chance to get out of the hotel.  down

Soon after that I took a new job and I haven't made it back since.

I think that you need to plan ahead for a visit to the island. Every time we were in SF the trips to Alcatraz were sold out for the day. We did go one time with a Civil War exhibit. We were pretty much handed the keys and went into places that no one gets to go. That was cool!
The Coke cooler was there then.

We did the night tour this year.. They take you to the medical block. Great atmosphere in the dark. Didn't see the cooler though.
