San Diego is picking up momentum and is only one vote behind SF.

SD should be tied now. I picked it because it's a city I've never been to and I wouldn't mind buying drinks there next November. @:-)

SFO, of course! You can stay in the Bay on Alameda in our guest room!!! Meals at your request. Jack's a masseur! 
ATL. I haven't been to my Alma Mater, Emory in decades. Great incentive!!!
Just being narcissistic!

Battle 3-Day 2009 looks like its going to have No Cal and So Cal going head to head. I suppose I could just do both .. but dang thats a lot of fundraising!
Since Chicago only has 1 vote.. I think Bob W can breathe easy about SeaDoo XI

Well, you would be here during Fleet Week which runs Oct 9-14 in 2008 (hopefully the dates will be close in 2009). Here's the web site with list of events you can attend after the Walk. There's even a parade in North Beach that weekend.

I voted for San Fran & San Diego. Love both cities. San Fran doesn't get too hot or too cold. San Diego is just a nice place to be.
Kudos for doing the 3-Day Walk! I'm sure you'll have a great experience regardless of which city you choose!

I just heard from one of my WHH homies that did SFO. Remember Cory? She said she had a good time, but I'm sure you can get the whole 411 from her if you want.
No blisters, my idea of heaven.
I'll be glad to train with you - 18/15/17 miles, no big wig. I'm just not up for the whole experience again. Then again, ask me next Monday, things might have changed.

Congrats Missy on undertaking this challenge; I wish you a good walk and no blisters to you and your sister tatas! *applause*

If I was insane enough to do this again, I'm not sure I would pick the weekend before the Seattle Marathon and Thanksgiving for travel headaches alone.
So, I would pick San Francisco even if it does overshadow the BULB SALE.
I am also thinking now that it would be preferable for me to do an early one and recapture my summer, you know what I mean? Because those weekends of 18/15 17/13 back to backs sucked the life force out of my ability to weed and drink copiously.

Had a group of friends do San Diego last year and they loved it so I voted for that.
It's a great event, much luck where ever you pick.
The other advantage is it gives you more time to fundraise.
