I'm likely en route to San Francisco as you read this - my flight left Buffalo at 6 am, connected through JFK, and then off across the continent. . . sure it's odd to fly east to go west but it saved me $ 400 to spend on other things in the city!

San Francisco in 100 words
San Francisco is often called “Everybody’s Favorite City,” a title earned by its scenic beauty, cultural attractions, diverse communities, and world-class cuisine. Measuring 49 square miles, this very walk-able city is dotted with landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Alcatraz and the largest Chinatown in the United States. A stroll of the City’s streets can lead from Union Square to North Beach to Fisherman’s Wharf, with intriguing neighborhoods to explore at every turn. Views of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay are often laced with fog, creating a romantic mood in this most European of American cities.
I can tell that I am going to have a blast!
