Forgot to mention about San Diego - Balboa Park has a series of museums - I liked it for the aviation museum (but I think they have a Natural History, IMAX theater, etc. also). It’s been about 12 years since I’ve been there.
The beaches are beautiful there, but don’t know what the water temp is this time of year (I’ve only been in the summertime).

The Bay Area also has Napa Valley - sure it’s out of the way, but if you like wine…
Thanks for the ideas guys, its going to be busy 
I fly out tomorrow morning and some obscene time in the morning. Currently trying to convince myself that I don’t mind flying. 
Probably no net/pooter access for a couple of weeks so they’ll be no development on Hulk and/or Tower Puzzle :(. Probably no mail either! Argh!
Still… I hear the streets are paved with gold over there

Well, I can honestly say that San Diego is the most relaxed and coolest place I’ve ever been! And the Zoo was immense! Also took the city tour (although I feel like I’ve walked most of it now :)) which was pretty damn cool. Thanks for the tips guys,
Off to San Fran then drive to Sacramento next (stay off the roads ;)). Looks like the relocation is even more likely now, so anyone that can find a poor Java programmer a job in SF area let me know!
Posting from Holiday, what a geek!
