There is always the remote possibility that they wouldn't mind you staying an extra 2-3 days, you should talk to them about it. > In any event -- here's my situation as things stand now.

You are welcome to couch surf at the family estate, also known as the Winchester Mystery Shack, and the Temple of deferred maintenance. But if you plug travel directions into google maps for San Ramon to Felton, you'll see that both places are on the outskirts of the bay area. Felton is about an hour and a half drive to San Ramon, Oakland or San Francisco. San Ramon is about 40 minutes from San Jose or Oakland, and an hour from San Francisco. Felton (Santa Cruz) would make a great day trip, or a place for you to stay for one night, but you may want a more central location the night before you fly out.
