Well, San Francisco is a great place to spend a few weeks, however if you crave something more exotic then I recommend Japan. Purchase a Japan Rail Pass and travel all over - good places to visit include Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, and back to Tokyo...hey, that sounds like the itinerary of my next trip there...
Oh yeah, be sure to take mucho dinero ($$$), yen that is.
