That's like on the other side of the freaking country! I never have been to California or the West Coast in my whole life!
Plus, I have school...and it's in Montreal, Quebec...going to California would require $650CND and three nights stay in SF...which is beyond what I can afford. I don't intend to use my energy on traveling over 6000 miles in just less than three days. If someday the meeting will be held in one of the following: Montreal, Toronto, NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia... I could make it since I go to these cities often.
Not to mention I have to be in Los Angeles in May for a cousin's wedding...god, I'd be see the Pacific for the first time in my whole life.
Have fun while you're at it.
Oh god...cold and wet weather is nothing compared to a full-blown Canadian winter I had to deal with for the past two years now. By November, I'd have a snowstorm and the temperatures would plunge into the twenties during nighttimes.
