Thanks Aims. Very helpful. I forgot to ask for food recs but I see someone asked after me so have saved your response.
That tour to La Jolla looks good, I think we’ll go for that vs getting an Uber. I was so surprised about hotel prices too. We initially booked the Hotel Republic for $155 which I was happy with but it’s now down to $112 and Orbitz allowed me to use the first time app 15% promo code so it made it a steal and gives us some extra spends to do the zoo and a tour. Edit: one more question. We want to get to a Bed, Bath and Beyond. Am I right in thinking the trolley will get us there by getting out at the Fashion Valley stop? It’s not very clear if it’s walking distance in google maps. We’ll get an Uber if it’s not. Thanks. Edited at 05:04 PM. |

Sorry I am late in replying to this. I was at Knotts Berry Farm all day yesterday and got home late. Bed Bath and Beyond is in the Mission Valley Mall, so you will need to take the Green Line on the San Diego trolley and get off at the Mission Valley Center stop. That is the closest stop to that mall. It will be a bit of a walk as the stop is behind the back section of the shopping center and you will need to cross a street to get to the main mall where Bed Bath and Beyond is. There are some directions from the trolley stop on the mall’s website here: westfield/missionval...o/getting-here

Wow, you are already in California- welcome to the west coast! I hope you are having a fun time, so far.
I’ve never been on a jet ski (except once when I was a kid), but I have heard only good things about this rental place that is on San Diego bay: sdbayadventures/ For deep sea fishing, I’d recommend looking at either Seaforth Sportfishing: seaforthlanding/ or H&M Landing: hmlanding/ They have both been in San Diego a long time and have good reputations.

I really enjoyed Pismo when I stayed there- pretty beach. When you’re there, treat yourself to some cinnamon rolls here: oldwestcinnamonrolls/ 😋👍
If you are stuck for any ideas for San Diego when you get here, give me a shout and I will be glad to give some suggestions. I recommend doing the Old Town Trolley tour on one of the days. You will get a nice overall look at the city and it goes over to Coronado too. The drivers serve up some trivia on San Diego, and some silly jokes. It’s just a fun way to get to know some of the background of the city and see some spots you might not get to on your own. You could easily spend a full day on the tour if you get off at any of it’s numerous stops to explore. Or you can keep it briefer and just stay on the trolley. I’d suggest starting the tour at it’s official beginning point in Old Town State Park. Here’s the tour info: trolleytours/san-diego

Hi Amy, Really enjoyed Pismo but unfortunately didnt find the cinnamon rolls shop🙁 Thanks for offering to help with suggestions whilst we are in SD. We leave for SD tomorrow for 5 nights but will be heading to Santa Monica first as SM was so busy on Saturday we couldn't get anywhere near it, so after spending some time there then the journey down to SD, checking in and we have tickets for the Padres game tomorrow evening i think we have a fairly full day tomorrow. After that, any advice you can give to make best use of our time would be appreciated. We already have tickets for the zoo so will be going there and the trolley tour you've suggested sounds ideal to get our bearings around the city. What's the best and most economic way of using the trolley tour, travelling around the city etc? We have a car but im easy using Uber/Lyft if that works out easier? Other things of interest would be USS Midway (although think it might just be me for that), Top Gun bar, some time at the beach, possibly a fishing trip and jet skiing as per earlier messages. Some time around the pool would also be welcome I'm sure but not trips to Legoland, sea world etc as we are coming back to Disney and Universal for our theme park fix after we leave SD. Im sure they are lots of things ive missed so please feel ftee to recommend away. The wife and kids have already bought most of the Premium Outlets at Pismo so im not sure what else they could possibly need but they are still keen on doing more shopping at either Carlsbad or Las Americas, so which of those would you recommend?
Sorry for rambling but would appreciate any suggestions you might have🙂🙂 |
