I am really surprised that no locals have written about Mission Beach but I know I have some great memories going here as a kid. I am more familiar of the Belmont Park area so most of my memories come from there. Of course there is an old wooden roller coaster there the "Giant Dipper" although you…

The San Diego Zoo is a good place for a day trip. It is one of the best zoos in the world for a reason. All the different animals are absolutely amazing, as well as the habitats they live in. The caretakers do an excellent job taking care of those animals and it shows. The attractions inside the…

San Diego is such a great place to visit in general so why not go visit SeaWorld? I think I have been there about 10,000 times (not literally but feels like it). I hadn't been there a a few years and I thought that since a friend on mine who is a freak about animals was going to San Diego with me …

The Maritim Museum is composed by several ships. This is some of those :
- The Star Of India, the older ship that still sails (and I think the most beautiful)
- The HMS Surprise, a replica of a 18th century Royal Navy frigate. Maybe some of you will recognize the boat used in the movie Master and …

Ok, So I have been living in San Diego for about a year and a half, which is longer than most places I tend to bounce around from in this nomadic existence of mine and so had to write a review of Torrey Pines State Park.
It is by far one of the better natural attractions in Southern California…

It's hard to find an example of "local" food in San Diego. Pretty much everyone here is a recent immigrant, most within the last 20 to 50 years. Thus there's a huge diversity of food here from all over the world. Taco shops are something that seems to be unique to the area though. This is what fe…

Old Town is a really neat area of San Diego that you really should see while in town. It's an area full of older buildings, shops full of souvenirs and other neat things you can buy, plus plenty of good restaurants and bars. It's free to walk around, but you might have to pay a small fee depending…

I have been wanting to go on a safari in Africa for as long as I can remember. This is about as close as one will get without having to go to Africa. You take a ride on a back of a safari truck and watch the animals roam in what looks like their natural habitat. The open-enclosure is home to giraffe…

Balboa Park is the nations largest urban cultural park and includes fifteen museums, the SD Zoo, gardens, and much much more. Going here is an all day event, depending on what you want to see. The fifteen major museums cost money but there are weekly and monthly free days - they are also easy to sne…

First my rant. For many years this event was called "Christmas on the Prado", but now to mollify all the PC people, this event is called "December Nights". But to me it will always be "Christmas on the Prado"!!! There, rant over.
The following event description is shamelessly lifted from the …

Just wanted to write an update on the Christmas on the Prado. I went last night and had an exceptional time. It was once again an excerise in gluttony as I walked around trying anything and every thing that sounded good. Italian meatball sandwich, Swedish Meatballs, some sort of rice and lamb dish. …

I booked with the Meneheune Surf School after checking out the websites of/calling about 15 different companies offering surf lessons in the area. Since I live here and I'm not just here for the week like many tourists, I had the time to sit down and do a lot of research into the most affordable/bes…
