Gary has spent time in Florida. California is so much better ... there is no comparison.

What part of FL? Been a few years since I was on the left coast, I'm just not a big fan of traffic and crowds any more. Naples downtown is a breath of continental class. Lots of restaurants for every taste. Tin City, is a unique place to eat at several places on the water. All are surprisingly reasonable. Marco Island beaches are beautiful.

My wife is a certified, Bona fide, platinumn card carrying Disney Freak

Know a few of those around here. My wife and I like Disney there two years ago, but we've gotten burned out on it and the traffic. Found Naples by accident we hadn't planned on going that way, but will be there for January again in 2018. Key West via the shuttle is very economical,

I feel the same. Having 3 granddaughters, especially a 5 and a 7 year old Disney World is not just a journey it is a Death March. As mentioned in a previous post we are there when the staff is arriving to prepare the park for opening and say good by to them as they leave to go home.

Did you know that there was once a gold tea cup in Disney's Mad Tea Party Ride or that Alice often rides the tea cups? Those are the kind of thing that diehard (nut job) Disney fanatics like my wife would know.

Miami and the Atlantic side. Traffic sucks here ... but from the Sierra to the Mojave to the Pacific, the World Class cities and World Class cultural/entertainment venues and the weather ... nah ... no comparison.

Gryph is waiting to see Gary in the crowd at Lucha Underground. It is filmed in LA.
Gryph is kicking back watching silly, but fun Shaolin kung fu movies on the El Ray network.

If we could afford the housing Gryph and wife would live in the San Diego area. Love it, love it, love it.

Does Gary, Mary Lou and Cook ever get over to the Mount Sutro open reserve space? Love the walking paths there.

Not yet ... but we're here often. Gary will make a point of it on our next trip. There is so much right about San Francisco.

San Diego is cheap. San Francisco is the most expensive city in the U.S. to live. Los Angeles is number two.

According to Kiplingers, Manhattan is the most expensive, followed by Sunnyvale, CA, Honolulu, then San Francisco. LA doesn't make the top 10. That is based on the cost of living index. They are all expensive compared to little ole flat land Kansas.

If you get a chance and want some great sea food try Pier 23 Cafe in Embarcadero.

Gary's info came from a recent electronic media report.
