Jim,

Most definitely a car is needed to get around San Jose, any trip to the area
of course requires a trip to Fry's Electronics on Arques and you can also go
out for Indian buffet at Sneha right nearby. :) At least that is what I do.

I *highly* recommend that you book hotels early as I just tried to book
hotels
for the evenings for a soon to be coming trip and I was unable to find
something
nearby, regardless of the price.

Neil
