Here are the public transit directions.

High-level directions:

 1) Take BART to Fremont.
 2) Take VTA 181 bus to Civic Center.
 3) Walk to our place.

Detailed directions:

 1) There is a BART-to-bus transfer at the foot of one of the escalators.
    If you get the transfer, the bus will only cost $2 instead of $4.
 2) Exit from the east side of the Fremont BART station to find the buses.
    The VTA 181 bus used to be on the right as you exited, but don't know
    if the configuration has changed. Don't mistakenly take the 180 bus.
 3) Ask the bus driver to drop you off at the Civic Center station.
 4) After the bus exits 880 south, it will be travelling along North First
    St. in a southbound direction.  The closest intersection near the
    Civic Center station is North First St. and Mission St.  After
    deboarding the bus, you'll want to cross the light rail tracks and walk
    east along Mission St to get to .
 5) Take a right (southbound) onto .  (That's the only
    choice since  ends at Mission St.)
 6) Look for the yellow hydrant on the right side of the street and you'll
    find us at  .

Troubleshooting:

 1) Make sure you take a VTA bus, not an AC bus after exiting the BART
    station.  If the configuration hasn't changed, the AC buses are in the
    inner circle and the VTA buses are in the outer circle closest to the
    BART station.  You may have to walk around a bit to find the 181 bus
    stop.
 2) If you've been dropped off at The Great Mall in Milpitas, you've
    accidentally taken the VTA 180 bus instead of the 181.  Either shell
    out another $2 to take the light rail to the Civic Center station and
    walk from there, or give us a call and we'll pick you up.
 3) If, while walking along Mission St, you find yourself surrounded by
    official-looking buildings and you hit San Pedro St, you've walked the
    wrong way; turn around and be sure to cross the light rail tracks.
    The blocks to  and  are short blocks,
    with houses and small apartment complexes on either side.
