Some questions for people who know SF ……?

I am planning on visiting San Francisco in May and I’d like to know some info and I hope you will help me with some insider advices.

1. Could you recommend me some great places to eat, especially I am interested in Asian (Chinese) restaurants? Something really good and not crazy expensive (like for lunch/or dinner). I’ve heard many times that SF has the best Asian food but you should know places.

2.Could you recommend me nice public saunas (Asian or Finnish/European) with a decent swimming pool and possibly good massage/spa treatments? No fancy or super expensive but clean, decent overall and with a good service.

3. Is there any chance to enjoy beach experience in May? I know the weather is kinda chilly and ocean is not Florida warm but I know there are some beaches in SF and I wonder whether May is good for it.

Thanks for your help !!!!!!!!!

where do most Americans go on vacation?

I believe not all American citizens feel its necessary to travel abroad for their holidays (vacation). So where would their favourite destinations be, and where do they prefer to stay. In a hotel, condominium with all the resort facilities like communal pool, gym, spa and onsite other onsite facilities, or do they (like most brits) prefer to hire a private villa
with a pool and all the facilities and comfort of a home ?
I am thinking of buying a villa in Orlando for rental and my own use when I can go there, but would I be better buying a condo for more regular rental income from US citizens ?

any advice would be appreciated.

What mattress pad can cool down a hot bed?

Well to start out, I’m going to be purchasing a 4” "Spa Sensations" memory foam mattress pad for my bed. It was rated by consumer reports as a top buy. The only problem I have with memory foam is that I’ve heard that it can retain heat and some people feel it makes for a hotter nights sleep, and I personally seem to get hot at night when I sleep. QVC sold a memory foam topper with a "Coolmax Cover" that helps for a cooler nights sleep, but they are sold out.

Is there some sort of mattress pad on the market that would do the same trick as a "Coolmax cover" (which is said to "help wick moisture away from the body")? I would put this type of a mattress pad on top of the 4” Spa Sensations memory foam pad.

Also, I would need to purchase new deeper sheets for my bed. Is there any certain type of fabric that helps for a cooler nights sleep?

P.S. I know I could just turn down the A/C but I’m trying to keep electricity usage down, and my roommates don’t want a freezing house. Thanks!

Has anyone stayed at Chumayo Spa & Resort in Blue Lake, CA?

I want to stay there because they have floating pools, whereas no other spa I’ve read about does. They also have a lodge with one room you can stay at. Plus, they have massages & other spa treatments. Also, they have a private hot tub for the people booking the room. Too good to be true, it seems. The price is awesome! Let me know if you have stayed there or heard about it. THANKS!

How did Medicare Advantage come about and when ?

I sold medicare Supp plans for 30 years and no plan ever covered eye glasses, hearing aids, health spa memberships, dental etc. I understand certain companies contract with Medicare and offer these extra’s at a cost to the tax-payer. sounds like something the Bush adm. implemented for the higher income seniors.
