A
hamburger at Hodad's in Ocean
Beach. Make it a double bacon cheeseburger.
Keith (not Rex) suggests onion rings as well.
Cajuns and deep-fried, you know. |
| 2 |
A
sunset stroll on the Pacific
Beach "boardwalk." |
| 3 |
A
drink at the top of the Manchester
Grand Hyatt San Diego (downtown within
walking distance of our convention site). |
| 4 |
A
drive to the mountain village of Julian (75
minutes each way). |
| 5 |
A
drive beyond Julian down-down-down into Anza
Borrego Desert State Park (two hours
each way). |
| 6 |
A
visit to the seals and sea lions that have
completely taken over "The Children's
Pool" beach in La
Jolla, followed by a stroll down Prospect
Street, foofy La Jolla's main foo-foo shopping
drag. |
| 7 |
The
world-famous San
Diego Zoo, or the Wild
Animal Park, which is out in the country,
but also part of the Zoo. |
| 8 |
A
vista-filled visit to Cabrillo
National Monument. |
| 9 |
A
walk through Balboa
Park, which apparently contains the second-largest concentration
of museums after the National Mall in Washington,
DC. |
| 10 |
A
walking tour of Tijuana.
If you ask nice, we'll lead one for a small-to-medium-sized
group. Otherwise, you'll get lost and have
to depend on the kindness of Tijuana's notorious
police officers. Believe it or don't, Tijuana
is a fascinating metropolis of more than
1.5 million people. It's got museums, a cutting-edge
art scene, its very own hip music (Nortec)
that is praised from Los Angeles to Europe,
foo-foo restaurants, an IMAX theater, trendy
dance clubs, intimate live-music cafés,
and a longrunning LGBT pride parade, with
a heavy emphasis on the T. Downtown Tijuana
is 15 minutes south of downtown San Diego. |
