"LIke My Home Away From Home" San Diego by LauraWest
San Diego Travel Guide: 3,050 reviews and 6,642 photos
My parents retired here in '80, so I've visited so many times that I can't count! Lucky me!! San Diego spoils you as a home, since it is so beautiful and the temperatures are great, too.
There's so much to do here, that even I haven't done it all yet. I recommend it as a vacation destination. My last visit was March, 2006. I have some new tips which I hope to find time to do very soon.

Thanks for including the beach bicycles and bike shops down at Pacific Beach.
Beaches and temps are great in SD. We have spent a fair amount of time kicking around that area. Thanks for some good tips.
What a delightful page. San Diego is one of my all-time favorite American cities. As a small child, I lived there when my Dad was in the navy during WWII...There's a photo of me at age 2 there!! Wonderful, fun, informative.
Good tips on San Diego - one of my favorite California towns. Have to get back to Sea World, it's been years. Birthday greetings from Alaska!
So you have a Bombay in San Diego?!!! That's a nice one for sure!!! Great pics of the scenery. Thanks for sharing on VT!!!
This is a place I wouild like to see again .Lucky you having family there.
I think it is Ahi - ajoker - who has a couple of good "San Diago" tips as well - love different viewpoints, Cheers, John.
Nice little page on San Diego. Best wishes to you!
