We are John and Gloria - both retired - John, an agronomist, and Gloria, a management trainer. We would like to plan an overseas trip with the possible following dates:

August 2004 - UK, England

September 2004 - UK, Scotland (or vice versa)

This would be a "Memory Lane" trip for both of us.

October/November/December 2004 - San Francisco for 3 months, in the southern suburbs. Our son, his wife, and our 2 grand-daughters live in SF and we hardly get to see them. We have not yet spent a Christmas season with them! P.S. We love San Francisco. P.S.2 If an exchange car was in the offering, we could be a bit further away from the southern suburbs.

There would just be the 2 of us. We are houseproud people and both non-smokers. Regret we would not want to manage pets as we would wish to travel about a bit in both the UK and USA.
