   I'll gladly travel there.  I plan, at some point in the relative near   
   future, to drive across country and back.  It will probably take me a   
   month to be satisfied seeing enough.  I'll likely never go back, but I'd   
   love to see San Francisco, and many other areas.  That being said, I   
   certainly never want to live there.
