      it's £1000 cheaper for me to go to Tokyo than NY

      Wow, that's crazy; it's a shorter flight by several hours.  Seems like it should be cheaper to go to NYC.

        It's the accommodation which kills NY, with SF it's both.

        I can get a week in LA for the family for about £3k, in SF it's £5k, in NY it about £2.7k in Tokyo it's about £2.1k.

        Hotels in SF are priced pretty much the same as NY, but the flight is more expensive. No idea why, but accommodation in Tokyo is about half the price of either of them.

          Look at AirBnB.  There are some stunning apartments in The Mission.  Look t this one, 3 beds £886 per week:

            I did think about that G, but then I lose the package discount on flights. My investigations have only been cursory thus far as the flight prices will not be released until September/ October.

            Another thought I had was having a meet on both coasts simultaneously. I know Beatle is really eager for SF, so maybe she could do West coast and I could do East?

                  That's ambitious.  I like it and might even try to copy it. 😉

                    Yeh, I don't see that happening unless someone else wants to do 100% of the organising.

                          still wearing 'em even though it's bananas hot! only 2 days since they arrived have I not worn them because of the heat!! If the cats in the tropical countries can roll these, then us in Canada can deal with a few hot ones! 😛

                          temp when I was taking pics yesterday

                                well I'm usually always cold, so it's not unbearable…although taking those pics there wasn't a breath of wind at all and there were absolutely sweat puddles in my birkies!!  😉

                                    I've had to resort to my 21oz Busters this week. The SEXIH 23oz denim is murder above 92 degrees Fahrenheit.

                                      I'm always warm and trying to sport MBB's in 33C and 90% humidity makes for a very uncomfortable day. Just because some people can, doesn't mean I can. Temporarily defeated. I will make good over fall/winter/spring! British genetics aren't compliant with this weather.

                                            It's been mid 90s here with 70+ percent humidity for the last week, working outside in the MMBs has been brutal.

                                            The up side though is because I'm sweating so much in them they shrink at night so they aren't really stretching out much between soaks  😉
