San Diego advice

[Joe_Piscopoke]

Headed to San Diego area for work later this month and plan to stick around a few extra days and make a little trip out of it. Never been to SD before and the wife will be along for the trip.

Looking for suggestions on areas to stay/avoid, stuff to do, etc. Not tied to any specific area so I’m considering anywhere from San Diego up to Carlsbad, maybe even up to Dana point.

Thanks!

Must sees: La Jolla beachfront and shopping, Balboa Park/Zoo area with museums

Everything else could be debated.

Stay out of Tijuana.

Is the zoo a must-see, even with no kids? I know it’s one of the best zoos in the world, I’m just wondering if it’s so great it’s worth doing when you only have a couple of days to spend.

The Zoo is only part of Balboa Park, which is one of the most beautiful in the world and filled with museums and such. Balboa Park is the #1 thing to do in San Diego bar none.

Places to avoid? Don't go to the Jolar Adult Cinema on University Avenue.

An ex-girlfriend wanted to go in the cinema out of curiosity and walked in on a middle-aged gal getting banged by about 8 fellas, half of which looked homeless. Her husband/partner/buddy/whatever was loving every bit of it. We got the heck out of there. Needless to say, she never wanted to go back to a place like that.

Duly noted.

Gaslight District is full of weirdos but has some good eats.

Sounds like a fun girlfriend.

How was the movie?

Coronado Island.

 

[shortbus]

I’d just suggest going and then once you get there, never leaving!

 

[Renegade Bullet]

I went to a movie place like that but I got tossed out.

How was your trip? San Diego has become my annual heat break weekend trip since I moved. Love San Diego! Always hit a Padres game because Petco is a great park.
