It will and your dogs will be fine by the way. We brought ours over on a separate flight from ours and he was fine so stop worrying and enjoy the move. Have you got a rental sorted out yet as we had real problems trying to rent with the dog and eventually only really had the one option left which is the house we're in at the minute. Good luck anyway and like I said, stop worrying!! :D
We have a temp rental for a month but have been looking a lot on Craigs list and they seem to have quite a few properties that allow dogs |

Good luck with your move. I loooooooooooove San Francisco - one of my favourite places out of those I've managed to visit. All very surreal at the moment |
Re: We leave in three days for a new life in San Francisco
Best of luck! I arrived 27 years ago with one suitcase and no money (but I did have a job offer). I loved it the day I landed and still love it. I got tired of the actual city of San Francisco after about 12 years, but the suburbs around it are fantastic so you can still say 'in the neighborhood' as it were! It was an easy transition from London for me.
I arrived in September also; the BEST month in SF - indian summer and all that ... |

I arrived in September also; the BEST month in SF - indian summer and all that ... It's possible we were on the same flight . I arrived in San Francisco in Sept. 83, ( can't remember the exact date ). I grew up in Cheshire, but moved to London, and left from London. ( one of my favorite Cities ! ). I did temping , until I got my SSN # You are right , there are some excellent places to live in the Bay Area, I used to take the Caltrain , which was pleasant, but Commuting by car can be a big hassle though. Especially during rush hour. I guess you may be here by now ! :thumbsup: In which case welcome ! Take lots of photo's, and enjoy the positive aspects of this fine city. PM me if you get to the Mendocino Coast. Mick |
