SF is great. Watch a baseball game at Pac-Bell. Even if you don't like baseball.

There are 36 4 star+ hotels in SF on hotels.com there are 15 in Seattle. We win.
Nice - the one I listed is a five star. Yeah so SF has a Fairmont as well, as well as a 5 star Ritz Carlton (also on Nob Hill). I like Seattle, though, even though I've only been there three times. If I had to live in a city I would like it to be someplace like Seattle. It's big enough so that it has an "urbany" feel to it with some semblance of a downtown with tall buildings but not so big and urbany that it feels like you are living in a fricking concrete and steel jungle with congested traffic and panhandlers everywhere you go. It also has a nice public transportation system with the neato-cool convertible buses (they run as diesel outside the city but convert to overhead electric powered inside) and of course the monorail. |

Monorail's broken, there are panhandlers everywhere, the transportation system stinks by European standards and its like the 5th worst city in the nation for traffic congestion. And it rains. And occasionally smells of dead fish. And there's this one guy on that one street that one time did that one thing that really anoyed me. But its better than any city in the USA except for....San Francisco.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

the transportation system stinks by European standards Heh, in a literal sense, I actually doubt that. Their subway systems stink. REALLY badly. I think the French just piss all over the floor in the trains in Paris. |

Well, 4-5 months pregnant, so rollerblading is out. Something nice and scenic with a gorgeous hotel a wee bit away from the city, but close enough to shop. Something restful but not too far away from interest.
Sorry, I'm no help here.
Gimme a great hotel, money no object. :)
Dunno about the location, but I hear the Donatello Hotel is excellent. |

I'd be up for that.
I would go, although turning internet people into real people always scares me. |
A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Well, if you pick Seattle I'll drive down and share a pint with the group. Then I can tell you how much nicer Vancouver is :)

No, it is Japanese, as is E. Honda. Come on, his last name was HONDA. Where do Hondas come from? |

(No, not 'flight risk'.)
Looks like we won't be hitting America at all.

Yeah, apparently I'm Un-American and anti-religious. Who knew.
Yes, it's a pregnancy thing; she's not far enough along to stop flying, but far enough along that the thought of a long flight scares the crap out of her. There are feminine issues AT STEAK apparently.
I wouldn't mind, but this was all her idea and I got myself into it before she pulled the plug.
Marriage. I advise against it.
