SD is in southern California and is known for its weather and coastline.Smaller than Los Angeles, it is more laid back and less crowded.Within an hour of the city, there are pine-covered mountains,cactus filled deserts and miles of beaches.It is the gateway to Mexico with the US-Mexico border at Tijuana being less than 15 miles south.
Like most of Cali,the city sprawls over a huge area with much of it accessible by car. However,the central area is connected by the famous red trollies & buses.Dining and nightlife is in the Historic Gaslamp Quarter,Hillcrest or for a younger crowd Pacific Beach. The population is very diverse,meaning that there is food from every country here and someone probably speaks your language. Theres plenty to see and do,including the world famous SD Zoo, Balboa Park, Legoland & Sea World. The world reknown Tony award winning LaJolla Playhouse stages quality plays for theatre buffs. For the sports enthusiast you have Petco Park.Driving down Interstate 5,one can admire many of the US Navys ships. Theres excellent surfing along the coastline,as well as world class diving at LaJolla.Also don't miss out on LaJolla Cove where you will find some harbor seals parading the sands.Deep sea fishing trips go in and out,& theres also shore and lake fishing if you happen to get sea sick. Dedicated open space areas are thru out the city & there is hiking in the citys canyons and hills.With over 600 recorded species,SD County is also a famous birding location.

Well, I had to pre-occupy my time in San Diego while Rob worked - so what's a girl supposed to do? SHOP!!!!Several hundred dollars later from Victoria's Secret meant it was time for me to take a nap and not think about how much money I spent. I met up with Steve (Stevelarose) and Rob (RobtheTraveler) for lunch and they took me to the Harbor House - the restaurant had the most amazing fish tacos!Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!On the way back to the Hotel, we hired a Turkish "Rickshaw" guy to take us b...

Today we had the choice of spending the day at Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. I chose Sea World. A few of us spent the day wandering around seeing all the sites, my favourite was Shamu the whale. We rode to the top of the sky tower and ran for the bus at the end of the day as we were running late, but not before I managed to get a photo with Shamu (well someone walking around in a Shamu suit anyway).
Next stop was Mission Beach for the chance to ride the rollercoaster and go for a spin on a...

I didnt know much about San Diego but I did know that they have one of the best Zoo's in the world there. I remember reading a fellow travbuddy's blog about their trip to the Zoo and it inspired me to go there. Ana also wanted to go, I slept in a little late as I was still tired from Las Vegas. We left about 11am and went and had some food first at Corvette's Diner which is absolutely bloody fantastic, its the coolest diner iv ever seen! It was so cool, i would love to work somewhere like tha...
