Plane pulls up to the gate at 10:20 AM and then...

(Assuming you did not check any bags)

1. You reach the station for the rental car train by 10:35 AM

2. You reach the rental car center by 10:50 AM

3. (I'm assuming you have Hertz #! Gold or something like that) You're in your car and en route by 11:05 AM

4. The best way to go is via the East Bay and freeway up to Vallejo. Please note you will encounter traffic no matter on Hwy 101 up to the Bay Bridge. Once you're off the Bay Bridge, you will encounter the brutal constant back up on Hwy 80 through Berkeley where it is always bumper to bumper.

5. The best you can hope for is 2 hours behind the wheel.

6. Which puts you at The French Laundry by 1:05 PM at the absolute earliest.

(If they can hold your reservation till then, no problem)

Also, for whatever it's worth, my brother has eaten at The French Laundry and was not so impressed...
