Here we are - on 9/14 - and the weather report is pretty much cool/overcast/rainy:

As I spend a lot of time in SoCal, this type of weather is
exactly what I look for sometimes.
Coupled with my general preference to travel in shoulder/off-peak seasons - less crowds, typically lower occupancy, sometimes better "values" - I am trying to sort out the travel to enjoy a few nights here in the dead of winter.
But I do get your point.
Also, thanks
kage for all of the "Suggested Itinerary" links. Those are greatly helpful.
Lastly, thanks to the mods for tidying this up.
