There is another option that gives you (in clear skies) a broader panorama
of the whole Bay Area, and you dont even have to talk to anyone unless you
want to...

From Napa, fly toward Concord. Buchanan Field is easy to identify, and
adjacent to that is the 680 Freeway. Follow the 680 Freeway southbound
below 6000 MSL. Where 680 turns west and cuts through a notch in the hills,
that is Sunol, where you start your descent and proceed direct to San
Carlos. Just watch your step downs to remain beneath the Class B floors.
