...fantasic Harbour and great food San Diego is one of Americas finest cities!

Advantages: a lovely way to start a fly drive holiday
Disadvantages: The flight from the U.K. is approximately 11 hours

San Diego 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 ...
...few miles away from one of the richest countries in the world. Keep your wits about you. All in all, San Diego offers good food, good hotels and a laid back atmosphere. There was no evidence of the “rat race” here. A destination well worth considering. ... Read review

...later we arrived in Downtown San Diego. San Diego is everything LA is not, it's clean, the downtown area was well lit with non threatening people. Prior to leaving LA we had booked ourselves into the Banana Bungalow (BB) in the Northern costal resort of Mission Beach. BB is a hostel right on the beach with a beautiful and large deck out the back where you can just kick back and enjoy the view. After settling in (staff were way friendly) we decided ...
...a residential resort that is making the most of its beach frontage. The front is full of bars and restaurants, a few motels but as you drift a couple of blocks in land it's residential housing. The beach was wonderful, clean, long and soft sand and although we went in December the water was still warm enough that you didn't need a wetsuit. For me there are two reasons why I will be going back and back and back. Firstly I am a triathlete, admittedly ... Read review

Disadvantages:

On the San Diego quey-side there is every kind of shop imaginable, all of high quality. If you want to buy indian carvings or possible do some Christmas shopping this is the place to go. During the day there are ships you can visit and explore and for a reasonable price. There are one or two hour tours of the bay which is also a good price and go all day. At night there is not much to do in the centre but there are plenty of wonderful restaurants ... Read review
