We&#8217;ve both wanted to visit SF for around 3+ years now and it&#8217;s great that we&#8217;re finally getting to go!</p> <p class="p1">We&#8217;re leaving on April 19th and flying to<strong> Orlando, FL</strong> (from Birmingham International) and we&#8217;re going to be staying there until April 22nd so that we can visit our friend, <a href="http://twitter.com/joshuahays">Joshua Hays</a>. We&#8217;ve known Josh for almost 2 years now (we all worked together on an old project called Klydo) but we&#8217;ve never met in person so we&#8217;re all super looking forward to finally getting to meetup!</p> <p class="p1">On April 22nd, we&#8217;re flying to San Francisco via LAX and we&#8217;ll be staying there until May 6th (which is when we fly back to BHX). We&#8217;ve decided to skip the conventional route of getting a hotel and instead we&#8217;ve booked a nice apartment in Potrero Hill (via <a href="http://airbnb.com">airbnb</a> - which by the way, was super easy once we found a place!) which is apparently close to the Mission district and SOMA which should be good!</p> <p class="p1"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Uq8tG.png"/></p> <p class="p1">The apartment which we&#8217;re staying in looks to be a nice place and thankfully it has a good Internet connection so we&#8217;ll be able to do some work if needed and keep on top of emails/twitter/etc. It&#8217;s also obviously got a TV which Greg&#8217;s hoping has cable so that he can watch the last episodes of The Office (US) which have Steve Carrel in (before he leaves the show).</p> <p class="p1"><img src="http://i7.muscache.com/pictures/196042/large.jpg"/></p> <blockquote> <p class="p1"><em><strong>The garden deck area at the apartment.</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <p class="p1">This is the 7th place (Miami, Amsterdam, Singapore, Dubai, Australia, Kiev and now San Francisco) that I&#8217;ll have visited (outside of the UK) in the past year which is definitely a new record for me!</p> <p class="p1">I&#8217;ll probably be also taking a few photos/videos of the trip so to be sure to look out for that! :)</p> <p class="p1">P.S: If anyone lives in San Francisco/CA and fancies grabbing a Coffee let me know!</p></p>http://wakecodesleep.com/post/4238707463http://wakecodesleep.com/post/4238707463Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:27:42 +0100san franciscoorlandofloridatrip2011gregsimonbirminghamvacationholiday<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_licewurxey1qcqyd3o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.interstateapp.com/post/3975819365">interstateapp</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Calling all commuters</strong>!
