2006 Worlds - Where to stay

USMS is considering a bid for the 2006 FINA Master's World Championships to be held at Stanford University, Palo Alto California. The swim meet would take place over about seven day. If you were going to swim there, where would you like to stay: San Francisco - about 30 miles - 45 minutes away Palo Alto - 1-4 miles from the pool venue San Jose -about 20 Miles away - 30 minutes

    excellent weather, excellent hotels, excellent food (even in Palo Alto and San Jose,) culturally dynamic, and a great swim facility - The bay area and Stanford can't be beat, and everyone will have fun and fast swims. It is not the cheapest place on earth, however. Michael - given the high density of masters swimmers here (probably the highest in the world) perhaps we could set up a 'host' system, where international swimmers can stay at other swimmer's homes. I would be willing to house a couple or so . . .
