going back to Cali

Before 2006, I had never set foot in California, and now this year I'll be going there for a 2nd time in 3 months and neither time will I have to pay a single dime. In January I was in the San Diego area for 3 days because my company has an office in Vista California (about 30 minutes north of San Diego) Now, I'm going to a SAS conference (http://support.sas.com/usergroups/sugi/sugi31/index.html) in San Francisco this coming week for 4 nights. I don't like everything about my job but the trips to Cali are a nice plus.
