Used to live in SF, loved it. My office was in Half Moon Bay
Off hand I cannot remember why on earth I left. Though Katalina in Rio may have had something to do with it.
Aside from the fact that it is a long way you would get everything all three of you want form a holiday there and thereabouts.

We loved San Francisco when we were there in 2010 for a few days. Felt like a perfect mix of European and American cultures. Especially when we sort of fell into a back street garage servicing 1960s Alfa Romeos.....

My brother used to live near Half Moon Bay... He still has the house although he rents it now.
Visited a few times but not in a long while. I don't like CA much.

I'm toying with the idea of going to Georgia (the country, not the US State) in half term week, which is the last week of October. Flights from Luton to Kutaisi (Wizzair) can be had for £300 for 4 people return for 4 nights, £650 for 7 nights. Which is pretty good value in half term. The black sea resort of Batumi is only a couple of hours transfer from there if you want seaside (a short hop from the Turkish border). Tbilisi is 3.5 hours away for a city break.

Different! I like the airport name - David the Builder International Airport. Sounds grand.

The wife has now mooted Sardinia as a destination. Found a package (self catering) deal for £620 inc flights and accomodation for 4, 7 nights. Pretty reasonable for half term, weather should be to my tastes.
Will get round to re-visiting Georgia, haven't been since it was a Soviet Republic. Much must have changed, but the overwhelming hospitality probably hasn't.

How about Dubai Humph? Loads of flights, weather will be warm, and you can crash by the pool in between shopping & eating excursions. Only 6 hours from most UK airports?

Aye that's a thought, thanks.

Maybe best not to hire a car in Dubai in the first place.
