Another vote for the zoo. Outstanding - and I’m not usually that keen on zoos. We’d only arrived the night before so were massively jet lagged, yet ended up spending the entire day there and loved every minute.

Used similar in San Francisco and it was well worth the money.

Been reliably informed by the boss & chief vacation planner that this was actually the one we used!

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Many many thanks for replying and giving such a good run down, we are staying in the Sheraton Hotel & Marina. We are going for 4 days for my 50th, so defo won't be able to cover everything but will be visiting USS Medway for sure as we are both aviation freaks

Just checked on Google, and it'll be about a 45 min walk from your hotel to the Midway Museum so, unless you're avid walkers, I would recommend a tram or Uber to get to Downtown etc.

Agreed SD easy to get around. And between Uber & Bolt you’ll almost always be able to get taxis cheaply.

Also the baseball is great, the selection of food and drink is immense

Off to San Diego next week and recommendations ??

Get life insurance and a bulletproof vest

Good food choices across especially Italian, Mexican (well californian version of it) and seafood, if you are into war stuff the aircraft carrier is worth a visit. Be prepared to be shocked at the amount of homeless on the streets.

Homelessness in the USA is endemic, makes no difference which city you go to.

Unless USA change their health policies it will never end

Never felt unsafe in San Diego. It's a lovely city. Visited a few years ago.

Its the offseason! Although Im sure the stadium tours will be year round.

Totally agree - one of the most chilled out, laid back cities I've ever visited (probably because *I think* smoking weed is legal!)

 

[Live by the sea]

Lots of great eateries in north city area .

You say that, but this is a true story set in San Diego

Fair enough, but that was back in the late 80's. It's much safer now. Attacks by fruit/vegetables are much rarer now.

Another vote for the zoo. Not forgetting Sea World. Also shark fishing trips.

I haven't visited for a decade unfortunately, but as others have said, the zoo is outstanding, and I found Balboa Park, in which the zoo is set, to be fascinating. There are tons of old buildings and attractions left over from early 20th century fairs and expositions, plus a lot of the city's museums are there. Next: Are you a beer drinker? If so you are you will probably be happy to be in one of the best beer towns in America - truly a beervana. As for beach stuff: La Jolla is nice, but I also liked Ocean Beach which has (had?) a chill, surfer, hippieish vibe. If you have have a car I would go north to Torrey Pines which is a gorgeous State Beach. And you might want to look into a longer excursion north east to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. It might be a tad early for a wildflower explosion, but you never know: there's been a lot of rain this month.

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means 'a whales vagina'.

If you like white knuckle rides, may I recommend a day trip over the border to Tijuana.

Thought it was another possible signing

To be fair, I thought Jacinda Arden and Chuba Chups were as well.
