Information / Sources: Downtown SD Map
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a map showing the downtown area, Coronado Island, the SD Zoo, Hillcrest and Old Town. Just to give an idea of the distance, from the Gaslamp (Streets colored in orange) Quarter to Old Town, it is about 3 1/2 miles. From the Harbor to the SD Zoo it is also about 3 1/2 miles.

    North of Interstate 8 is Fashion Valley Mall, Mission Valley Shopping Center and Hotel Circle. West of Interstate 5 is the airport. North of downtown and West of Old Town is Hillcrest.

    Information / Sources: Avoid San Diego during these dates ....
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hi
    As in every major city there are lots of big business conferences.

    In San Diego one of the biggest one is the IT Convention happening in late March.

    Hotels, flights and rental cars will be heavily booked.

    Just thought I let you know !

    Also try to avoid the Convention centre area as security and traffic will be on an increase during the event.

    For the business heads it's an opportunity however to network... so not all bad ehy :)

    Shamu and the San Diego Rescue Centre for Dolphins and Seals and other sea animals... you could check if you can help out for a day... LOTS OF fun but very fishy (the smell I mean)

  • Tip Rating:
  • Travel to all parts of the county...In a matter of hours (depending on traffic) you can visit the beach, desert, and mountains (the views are outstanding and the weather is great).

    Information / Sources: Sunset Cliff
    After a whole day travelling, we got to check-in our hotel in Sunset Cliff before sunset. This place is much more quiet and local than Mission Bay area, I like it. And the "Inn at Sunset Cliff" I stayed in was absolutely fantastic (check out my hotel tips). The boss is actually an old Chinese guy who is living in Arizona. They had some Japanese and many European customers here, while we were the first Chinese tourists staying in this place.

    Information / Sources: Oceanside
    We drive back down along highway 5 towards San Diego downtown, passing by Oceanside and decided to have a look, I read something about this place on VT before. Well... nothing much here actually, just some boat parking, restaurants and resorts. Just a quick drive through and took a few pictures.

    I like Jazz, and KIFM 98.1 FM is a nice "Smooth Jazz" station, I even listen to it here at home over the Internet.

    http://www.kifm.com/home/index.cfm
    They have links to many Jazz events in the area, clubs, etc. Nice resource for those who like Mindi Abair, Dave Koz, Hiroshima, Chris Botti, Praful, etc.

    For Talk radio, I like KOGO 600 & KCBQ 1170. KOGO has Rush, and in the afternoon, Roger Hedgecock. KCBQ has Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and others. I listen to them over the internet (can't get Seattle stations here very well.

    Information / Sources: San Diego Business Site
    There are quite a few sites that list business events in San Diego. The better events are put on by organizations like bizSanDiego, Connect, SDVG, bioCom and others. I would recommend visiting http://www.bizsandiego.com/calendar. They have a very good listing of business events and fun events. They also send out a daily newsletter that list events for the next day. You can sign up for that on their homepafe: http://www.bizsandiego.com

    Hope this helps!
