Wow.. That's a tough one... See, MY cheap side would side with Markus because it seems like you can't really get a break on the cost of airfare from Cali, AND you having to factor in your travel time to and from. HOWEVER,(If money wasn't an issue) I think I would LOVE to go back twice a year..Such a dilemma you have! But hey, if you choose to stay for 2 weeks, you always have us boardies fall back on. This board has helped keep JA in my heart, mind and kept me inspired since my last reach in 09'... Thank GAWD for everyones trip reports!!!
