LOVE San Diego. Mission Bay, the Navy Yard, the ocean, the zoo, Sea World. Just a great place to relax. We ate at a place called The Reuben E. Lee, which was an old boat on the harbor. Gorgeous views of the skyline.
We've also been to San Francisco and spent a lovely day in Muir Woods and Tiburon, which was having some sort of wine festival at the time, with tastings. Of course, we also did Alcatraz, the waterfront. Stayed at The Westin St. Francis on Union Square. While the location was perfect, the hotel was terribly expensive. Because its an historic hotel, the rooms were TINY. I wouldn't recommend it.
CA is just lovely.

Ha ha!! You guys have seen more partsof CA than me. I have not been to the SD or LA Zoo or the Maddonna Inn. I'm not so much into it I guess. I was at Sea World once in SD when my kids were little. Yea, it was nice, but like I say, I guess it's not my thing becaue I haven't gone since. Now San Francisco!! I saw Alacatraz back in the 70's. However, when I went to San Francisco a few years ago, I wanted to go but the tours were booked weeks in advance so I didn't get to see it. I'd love to go again. SB, I too stayed in Union Square but I can't remember what hotel I stayed at. I loved Union Square. That was the time Saladbar and I went to FCC's Winery and although not a huge wine drinker, I did enjoy seeing the winery, seeing FFC's house (from afar) and oh, of course tasting the wine.  As far as CA sites go, I guess I'd be a traditional tourist. I love to see L.A./Hollywood, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, etc. I just like it. It's been a while, I'm due to do some touristing. TIS

Beverly Hills was a trip!! I was impressed by the ritzy stores and driving around looking at some of the mansions. (I met James Earl Jones on Rodeo Drive!) I enjoyed the Griffith Observatory (site of "Rebel Without a Cause" ending), and the LaBrea tarpits (I love that kind of stuff). I was somewhat surprised at how seedy Sunset Strip was (hookers all over the place) but wasn't overly impressed by what I saw of the rest of L.A.
