I visited SanDiego last October due to a work meeting. As it was such a long way to travel I thought it would be a good idea to add on a few days holiday to explore the area with a friend who was coming along.
Getting There
There are direct flights to SanDiego from London however at the time these were three times as expensive as a fare with stopovers in the US and with a friend coming I wanted our flights to be as cheap as possible. Our flights went from Heathrow to Washington where we changed planes for a flight to Chicago and then another change for a plane to LA, where we got our final plane to SanDiego. This may seem too much for some, but for me it was great as the plane changing gave me a chance to stretch my legs. I think I would have found 13 hours cooped up in a plane too much! One thing I did ensure was that the route ...
SanDiego is a fantastic holiday destination. It is warm and sunny but as it is on the coast there are cooling sea breezes. The people are all friendly and there is fantastic shopping centre. The buildings are all painted in bright colours as the town used to be owned by Mexico.

It has a mexican feel and is very relaxing. Basically SanDiego is a must! ...
Advantages: a lovely way to start a fly drive holiday Disadvantages: The flight from the U.K. is approximately 11 hours
SanDiego is well worth a visit but in my opinion 5 days is enough time to enjoy the attractions it offers. The weather is sunny but not too hot as being a coastal town the ocean is never too far away.
There are many attractions and the best way to view them is to take a “Trolley bus” tour. These can usually be organised at your hotel. It costs around $20 or approx £14. It is a whole day tour, which is very professionally directed. Your tour host guides you through the town and informs you of many historical facts relating to it. You can get off at any time to explore the area you are in as the trolley’s run regularly.
Sea World is a wonderful day out for the family, Shamu the whale is worth going to see alone. There are many shows by the animals all included in the entry price. You can even feed ...
