Travelzoo had some interesting information about San Diego's Little Italy. It has increasingly become one of my favorite places in the city. Let's see why. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. The Saturday street market is one of my favorite events here. But any day is a good day here. Thanks to waves of Sicilian and Ligurian immigrants who began building up San Diego’s tuna fishing industry in the 19th century, Italian culture figures prominently into the local mix, too. And as you might guess, url=https://www.sandiego.org/explore/downtown-urban/little-italy.aspx?utm_campaign=MC_SDT_SpringAwareness_FY21_&utm_medium=campaign&utm_source=%s&utm_term=%epid!;%ecid!;%eaid!Little Italy is the best place to find the vestiges.

I woke at 5, tried to sleep until 5:30, and then went to the only other room available to me, the bathroom. It wasn't too bad though, I had dragged the office chair in there the night before and had a comfortable place to read, type yesterdays journal entry and play my games on my phone. Up and moving we had finished breakfast by 9 and were out the door by 10:30am. Again we stopped at Subway for lunch supplies and were through the gates just about 11am.

We then went to the penguin exhibit followed by the arctic circle where we saw beluga whales, ... read more

Our trip began the first week of October, 2015 in San Diego, CA.Two months before our departure my husband had a serious fall that resulted in brain surgery.

So here we are in Carlisbad at a resort right next door to Legoland. It's about 32 miles from San Diego and right on the ocean. When we walked into our room we couldnt believe the size of it. Having lived over the past few weeks ostensibly in the same room to walk into something with two bedrooms and a kitchen and a lounge room it was almost a god send. The drive down from Anahem (Disneyland) was reasonably uneventful apart from the stuff up at Hertz which saw me come back to our hotel with a car which was absolutely massive. Felt quite out of place to be behind the wheel and not have an American Flag flying from the aerial, and a cooler of Coors in the back with the kids and a pregnant ... read more
