Been there 7 times in the past 3 years. Terrific city. I have lots of friends and relatives in the Bay Area, in San Francisco, Fremont, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, San Jose etc.
Hope to come back there again sometime in 2011, though Seattle is on the cards too.
Boston is great too, and we could have a gathering here someday, in historic "Bean Town"! We could have a nice Boston Tea Party, literally! :)
