ok, going to san diego to the wildlife park and everything for my wife's 21st b-day (don't tell me it sucks or anything it's already a go)

have a $2k budget that i'm working with right now. give me some ideas... i still have to take hotel and rental out of the budget...

what's the name of some good places to stay along the beach...
wtf is there to do there?

btw the dates are 20-27 of april

 

Dude there's a ton to do there. I always stay in Old town I really like it there. Old town Hacienda suites is where I usually stay, great local and reasonably priced. I've never stayed on the beach there so I couldn't tell you whats good or bad.

San diego zoo is great, seaworld is fun, harbor district, you name it bro you'll have a blast. I know a few members on here are from there so hopefully they'll chime in with some insider stuff

 

We usually stay just opposite of old town in hotel circle. Old town is a good place, plenty of shopping and eating. Stop at ohungrys for a yard of beer too!

Hotel Del Coronado is on the beach but that could possibly blow the 2K away alone

like said before, San Diego Zoo is fun......and HUGE, sea world is cool, Coronado island is nice to drive and walk around, old town, La Jolla is just north and nice. Sea port Village is cool too.

 

Hit up ****'s Last Resort in the gas lamp. It's kind of romantic

 

GOLF! Torrey Pines...

The Gas Lamp District has some nice restaurants and bars, but I think you are taking kids. Legoland?

 

You don't need a rental car.
San Diego has the best public transit I've experienced.
Their trams go everywhere you want to be.

Spend the car money on your wife.

 

Oh and for Christs sake don't go to Tijuana, espescially with the wife. It's a huge #%^hole

 

^seconded!!!

 

gotcha...no tijuana...

and no... no kids for at least 8 years

 

Hey! How'd you like Hedo mon?

Irie

 

didn't get my passport yet so that's a no go... going to san diego instead.....

 

its san diego what isnt there to do there... lol im moving there in august for school!

 

Baseball fan? Hit up a game at Petco - it's a beautiful stadium. Padres are in town from the 23rd through the 27th.

Public transportation is excellent, but you still need a car for flexibility.

Make sure you go down to OB and have a burger at Hodad's. Hint - a single is PLENTY, trying to handle a double gets VERY messy.

Lots of casinos out there (all Indian-run) - but some are no-alcohol if that matters. I like Barona - and that one is no-alcohol.
