We can come on whatever days would be convenient.  San Jose ariport is 
indeed very close but if you can get a better rate by using San 
Francisco airport that also is not very far away.

Believe it or not, Larry can eat things that are very spicy with no 
problem.  Actually he can eat so many things that it easier to say the 
things he can't eat.  The usual trouble we have with Mexican food is 
finding things without tomato in them.  Sometimes it's hard to tell what 
has tomato.  Other than that, it's mostly not eating fish or eggs, and 
getting things with corn tortillas instead of wheat flour ones.  No 
bread or pasta.  

Looking forward to coming,
Gloria
