PMSL If that monster blows, you could be sipping a Martini on Malibu Beach and you'd still know about it

Here's a morning glory to behold



Oh, and by the way, "the big one" is well overdue in San Fran too

What time of year are you thinking of Paps?

September hopefully Just waiting for dates for the San Fran Magical Tour (which, fingers crossed, won't clash with MTTM)


Anyone have any must-sees? We can take a look and see if we can fit a few of them on the route. The drive will be pretty chilled and flexible, and there's always the option of branching out and doing your own thing for a few days too

That's nearly a whole year away

I know..........she doesn't half plan ahead.

Thing about September is that its not like Spring, when the weather as you cross is all over the place, we had big rain,high winds and snow / hail then blistering sun in April/ May.
|Summer is too darned hot in some places, so September is warm enough, but not overbearing and Winter is not quite kicking in. Perfect

Plus booking flights very early gets you cheaper deals and time to savour and plan the trip.

Unless they've re-scheduled September in 2008 Jon, I think you'll find it's more than a whole year away.

[Harpo]

Mrs H doesn't object if I join in the fun - but I've known her for 29 years and she'll moan like bu66ery when I return.

But I've got nearly a whole year to persuade her to let me out to play.

If we're going through NY...

There may be some interesting company on this trip.
