[over the mountain]

i lived in san diego from the beach to the city to the ghetto for years. paradise.

if your in the gaslamp then obviously your gonna walk around there a bunch. good food (the better local joints are in PB, OB, la jolla)

i would def recommend going to hotel del coronado (if your over 40) and "pacific beach" or PB if your under 40.

10 blocks or so north of the gaslamp is balboa park which is real pretty, cool to walk around and its all free (more of an older tourist local but i used to ride my bike thru there alot). the san diego zoo is right next to it too.

a great great golf course which is close to you is the coronado golf course. its only 25 bucks to walk 18 and half the holes are right on the bay with amazing views. the play is alil slow with old timers out there but its a real relaxing course were a hacker can feel welcome. i cracked 80 there, so did bill clinton except i heard he cheated a few times with moving his ball. also balboa golf course is close and cheap but its a much harder course than coronado.

do not go to old town, its just a replica western type town that sells t shirts and over priced margaritas. the tourists get channeled there as an attraction for some reason.
