Category: San Diego, CA

Considered the “birthplace of California”, this culture-filled city has one of the top 10 best climates in the world! Other than bases for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, San Diego is known for Balboa Park (Zoo), historical sites, craft beers and the port which includes USS Midway Museum.

San Diego, CA: Getting Ready & Getting There

Books – Not as many as I would hope, but next time I’m there, I’ll look for more from local authors. For now, I would highly recommend: Abandoned San Diego by Jessica D. Johnson.

Getting There –

    • Drive: It’s not far from Los Angeles. Just know that if you come back on Sunday, you WILL hit traffic.
    • Train: I love taking Amtrak down to San Diego. Beautiful, scenic route, AND its worth it to pay a little extra for business class.

San Diego, CA: Getting Around & Accommodations

Getting Around: To and from the Airport or Amtrak station, I prefer Lyft or Uber. No need to rent a car and pay for expensive parking.

Accommodations – Everyone has their favorite place to stay, but when staying in cities with a lot of history, I like staying at historic hotels:
