I don't care where I go, or if I leave out of SFO, OAK or SJC.

Any suggestions welcome!

EDIT: I forgot to include my budget! I'd love to keep the whole trip (with hotels) to under $1,000.
Take a trip to London for $837 with United. Just make sure one of the legs goes via IAD and you will be slightly over 11,000 miles. You can get there cheaper ($780), but that means flying US via PHL.
