My Kindle and I are visiting San Diego next week! I've noticed that there are several people here from southern CA - any suggestions on restaurants or things I "must do" while I'm there? 
I never heard of that before. Spiritdancer make sure to try one and let us know how it is.FAQ Person said:Make sure you eat a fish taco!
Yes, it really is. Just walking around...I think there is a tea cafe or coffee service in the lobby where you can sit and have a cup of something to drink. It's lots of fun, lots you soak up the atmosphere....Khabita said:I love the Hotel Del, and I go there every time I go to SD! There are lots of great photos in the lobby area that were taken during the filming of Some Like It Hot (one of my absolute favourite movies of all time, BTW).
It's such a beautiful hotel, it's definitely worth a look-see.
I was actually in San Diego in the summer of 2003. We rented a condo on the beach. I had a business conference but being there for a week, we had plenty of time to sightsee and do things with the kids.Spiritdancer said:I've been to the zoo...but not to the Wild Animal Park. Is that worth the trip? How about Sea World...mostly for kids, or good for adults too?
I moved from East coast to N. California over a year back in bay area. I never tasted fish tacos. Are these everywhere in California? I will look for one. Any particular Mexican food place you will recommend...Jane917 said:San Diego.....my home town! Everyone has given you great suggetions, including the roller coaster at Mission Beach. I have to laugh at the fish tacos, though. Are they unique to the west coast? I have lived up and down the west coast, and have never been far from a fish taco. I never think of them as unusual.
I have lived in both CA and WA, and fish tacos have been available at just about every little Mexican restaurant and taco truck. I am pretty sure I did not have fish tacos when I was a young child (I don't think I had any kind of tacos, actually), but by the time I got to college I think they were pretty pretty regular fare.*DrDln* (dr.s.dhillon) said:I moved from East coast to N.
