If you happen to be traveling and are looking for a place to stay, try for a condo with a terrace. It may not be as easy to book as a hotel room, but it certainly makes the nights more enjoyable.

San Diego has taken an older part of downtown and done some wonderful remodeling, upgrading, and general sprucing up including some very period street lights, hence the name Gas Light District. There is plenty of great shopping from boutiques and small specialty shops to larger chain stores and a ma…

The only decent place in Southern California that I've heard has good diving is Catalina, a large island off the coast of LA. You can take a one hour boat ride for about $20-30 from San Pedro or Long Beach. The water can be cold in the winter. The aquatic life isn't tropical, but there are one of a …

The highway which links Santa Cruz with the Silicon Valley (San Jose) is the infamous Highway 17. Why is infamous? It's narrow and winding for about 8 miles while it goes over the Santa Cruz mountains, and the road surface used to be real slick in the rain (it's much better nowadays). The road has c…

Starving students: Yokohana Station in the asian ghetto has dollar
noodes. They're cheap and some kind of satisfying-- not satisfying in
the sense that your tastebuds will thank you for it, but they fill you

This nice 66 passenger jet, designed for short and mid length flights was very comfortable with two seats on each side of the isle. The center armrests can be brought up and out of the way to allow a slightly wider feel. There is plenty of stand-up height along the isle and good sized storage for …

The bushman hangs around the Fisherman's Wharf area. He hides behind a bush, usually covering himself with random branches and bits of foliage. When unsuspecting tourists wander by, he jumps out from his hiding place, giving them a friendly scare. Well, some people don't find it so friendly, but wat…

AIRFARE:
There's a new website called Vayama (http://www.vayama.com). They're wonderful! Cheapest fares I could find by far! They are a little more unconventional in that they reserve your fare and then you wait up to 72 hours for a confirmation but once it's reserved it's yours so no worries.…

San Diego is a fun city to visit. Nightlife. Beaches. Restaurants galore. What more could you ask for? But if you're looking to add some adventure to your trip, follow me! If you want to avoid the crowds and soak up some scenery, drive up along Highway 101 that parallels the ocean and takes you thro…

A few years ago, a dive group purchased and sank an old Canadian Destroyer here in San Diego. I have never dove the wreck, but it seems liek it would be pretty impressive. I remember how the group had the ship tied up along the downtown water front cutting holes in it to make different parts of the …

La Jolla is beautiful (to the North). Carlsbad is sort of interesting, (home of Legoland California). Hotel del Coronado is way cool, if you like architecture. Have you seen "Top Gun" the movie with Tom Cruise? The Top Gun fighter base is N of SD and you can drive around it. Marine World (is th…

After my last trip I decided that my current digital camera just was not going to cut it any longer. It is a Vivitar 3mb camera that I have had for about 4 yrs or so. It usually takes great pictures...outside. And I found it struggled on our last trip to the UK in low light situations. I also hated …
