Ooh-la-la, San Diego!

8/27/2015

11 Comments

 
In just a 2-hour drive south of LA, the temperatures dropped about 20 degrees, and the people seemed so much happier to be alive! My original plan was to be in San Diego for my birthday at month's end & treat myself to a room at the Hotel Del. That became a laughable idea when the cheapest room was $600/night! 

I had just 3 nights in San Diego but if I had a million dollars, I'd live here part-time. I stayed in Point Loma, originally the Portuguese neighborhood but there wasn't a malassada in sight! That said, I loved the city which is incredibly bike & ped friendly. I never moved my car, and played tourist as much as possible by bike, then spent my final afternoon hours lounging by, and swimming in, the Pacific. This is my final destination West, and the turnaround point to begin my Eastward adventures.

Note to my hostel compadres from Switzerland, Germany, Quebec & Poland: Thanks for the warm welcome, the great conversations, the sharing of meals. Hope to hear from you!

Wow, it was on my bucket list to drag Robert to San Diego at some point. Sure hope we can find an affordable way to spend a week there when the time comes. Hopefully you found somewhere just as nice to spend today celebrating! Enjoy your special day!

Karen ... lots of options in San Diego! The Hotel Del is just one spectacular place -- have you seen the movie, "Some Like it Hot"?
