You’re in luck if you’re coming to San Diego this weekend!!! Friday night is the South Park Walkabout, a chance to get to knew this little gem of a neighborhood. The Walkabout only happens 4 times a year and is a fun mix of art, literature, shopping, eating, walking and talking late into the night. South Park is a little gem of a neighborhood that is ...

Torry Pines State Park is one of the most beautiful vistas in San Diego. Nestled in between University of California San Diego on the north end of La Jolla (just to the park's south) and Del Mar just to the park's north, the park is well marked off of Pacific Coast Highway. This urban escape can't be closer to civilisation, yet from the trails all ...

Mount Cowles is a great San Diego hike, part of the larger Mission Trails Park.  The Mount Cowles is a great urban escape, head east on I8, exit College Avenue and go north (away from San Diego State University).  Follow the road as it curves and changes names until you reach Navajo, and turn right.  This road curves through some cute (though suburban) neighborhoods until you reach Mount Cowles on ...

Barb and I were enjoying the soothing comfort; while relaxing at Croce's Restaurant located in the heart of the San Diego historic Gaslamp Quarter. While we were sipping "Tangerine mimosas" and waiting for dinner to arrive my cell phone chimed. I don't usually take calls during dinner, but the number calling told me it was Mitch and I was anxious to see if he had ...

Tucked away in a quiet North San Diego County Valley, just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, you will find a majestic jewel of early California history called Mission San Luis Rey. Walking through the Sunken Gardens or along the arched colonnade, you will ...

As usual, the Brunch was in the Crown Room and it was as elegant as befits this Historical Victorian Hotel.

After Brunch Barb and Julie went straight to the Spa; yesterday had been busy and they were anxious to relax.  

They both opted for the Asian-inspired treatment. Direct pressure is applied to points on the feet corresponding to particular areas of ...

Barb was sick in spirit and asked me where she could "rejuvenate", and get over the Evil fortune that had intervened; for it seems the wood shodana was destroyed in an accident during shipment.

I told her it was better to "Surrender" than to resist; and of course, I knew just the place; it was on the way back to San Diego. It is just ...

We decided that we did not want to stay in San Francisco for more than a few days; that left us with the dilemma of what to do for the other couple of days.
