I immediately felt at home when i arrived. While there are a few really good areas to go out at night, which i did and had a great time too, you definitely notice that its a bit of a smaller and quieter city. but for me that was exactly what i was going for at that time.
Insider Tip:always have exact change for the bus and always get a day pass, its only 5 bucks and is definitely worth it.
San Diego is great, of the 3 areas I went to in California (Hollywood, San Francisco) San Diego was my favourite. It has a lot of character and the gas-lamp quarter is awesome for lights,colours and sounds! The people are friendly the clubs are good, San Diego is so close to Tijuana you cant afford not to go.. Guided tour though.
Insider Tip:Have a breakfast Burrito.. delicious
San Diego is a fantastic place to stay. There are so many things to do, so that it is impossible to get bored. I was there during comic-con and it was so much fun... :)
I would move in the morning to San Diego, if I could take all my family and friends with me. One of the cleanist cities I have been to.
Insider Tip:Pack a lunch and visit all the State parks.
