I just spent a lovely weekend in San Francisco.
For one weekend, I had a public transit system that told me when the next bus/train was coming. I never heard anyone spit a thickly-accented instruction to do something to myself that is probably anatomically impossible. I enjoyed glorious sunshine by day and cool sleeping weather by night. I had teahouses, relaxed little corner stores, and good friends to visit. Instead of finding myself constantly at the bottom of massive concrete canyons, I would regularly top a hill and enjoy a good view of the city and its environs.
I was in my own personal paradise. It was good to be home.
8 months and 22 days.

So yesterday morning I stood on Market St. at the Embarcadero in SF. I took a long, last look at the azure sky, and then descended the stairs into the BART station.
When I next stepped outside, I was in New York City.
Back to the rat race.
So here's my dilemma. I have a 3-day weekend next month (this is truly unprecedented).
Do I:
1) Go back?
2) Visit a different city (Boston, D.C.)?
3) Entertain an out-of-town guest?
4) Sleep?

I think you should go back, you obviously had a really great time there... but then I suppose it depends on who the guest is... and how tired you are...

Im going back to Hastings for the weekend tomorrow.
I've only been in London for a month but I cant wait to smell the sea again!
Personally, I would go and visit another city. Take the time to go see somewhere completely new, take in the sites
