My wife and I have travelled to San Diego three times now. It is truely one of those places on earth that draws you to it like a magnet. Once you have been it will stay with you always. The climate is perfect, beautiful clear days and endless blue sky without the excessive heat of some destinations. Each time we have stayed at the Holiday Inn on the Bay. Whilst the hotel isn't the most expensive we have found the location perfect as you are within an easy walk of many shops and restaurants. Imagine sitting outside the hotel deli enjoying a coffee gazing right across the bay on a perfect day. There is also a Marriott hotel on the bay in a good location, I would personally not choose the resorthotels at the opposite side of the bay. A great family destination San Diego also has a brilliant zoo which can be reached easily by bus or car. The magic of Sea World will also be a favorite with the kids. It is easy to combine Los Angeles with San Diego on a two centre break. I think this is the ideal alternative to Florida if the kids want to do Disney etc but you can't face two weeks of it. It would be easy to spend three or so days at Disney and Universal Studios in LA and then ease into a more relaxed pace in San Diego. If you don't have kids that want to go to Disney I would choose San Fransisco as being a far more beautiful city that LA to combine with San Diego on a two centre trip. We have been in September, October and November, I would say late September is best although if you are on a budget November is cheaper.
