Mister MicawberI see. Yes, that's right.
Great. Thanks teacher.

What about “I will let you know if I decide to visit LA in summer”.

The use of ‘decide to + visit’ alters the meaning in which it implies if I make up my mind to go to LA in future, and that’s actually before even leaving for LA. Am I right?
