Geeman,
You will love San Diego. Try to set aside a day to travel allover the area on the Trolley. You can get on and off again. It will take you all over. Unfortunately when I was there the last time, I was unable to catch it until late in the day wso we only got to go to a couple of stops. Be sure to stop at the Hotel Coronado. It is an awesome place with a lot of history. The trolley will take you to the zoo, and a lot of other places. Hope that you have a great trip out there. Wish that I could recommend a good hotel. We were only there overnight. I definitely want to go back. Be sure to check out their sea food while you are there. It is fresh and totally awesome.
