I take it you are not a picky eater, Ray?

SD is so lovely.... haven't had the chance to be there long enough to make any recommendations, but it's a nice place.

[QUOTE=Ozzidoc]Try looking at www.sdreader.com

The navy ship in the harbour - buggered if I can remember it's name. Think it's 10 or 12 bucks.

Hi, hope you don't mind me dropping in, I was in San Diego last week for a visit. Nice, clean, friendly place. I love the Seaport village, the Upstart Crow is fabulous. Wish I had got sorted and popped over the border to Mexico. Didn't discover until the last afternoon that the place where Tom Cruise filmed the bar scene in Top Gun was only over the road from our hotel!!!!

The ship is the USS Midway. There are a few other ships that make up the maritime museum, I didn't get chance to go round them though.

It was fantastic, stayed at the Embassy Suites so right opposite the USS Midway, wondered round that for a few hours as my almost 3 year old son was fascinated, also opposite Seaport Village so went there on the Friday night. Did a boat ride round the harbour, had a look round the Gaslamp District, then on Saturday night, went out there and got pissed.. Sunday went to the zoo which was fantastic.
I was really impressed with the city will definitely go again as we didn't get to see as much as we would have liked.

Excellent! There really is loads to do in SD. I was in the Gaslamp district on sat night, went to the Dakota Grill for a few and food (which was fab), then moved on to the top floor of the Hyatt to enjoy the views.

Am now back in not-really-sunny-at-all Blighty

Only disappointingthing was the the curry we went for, it was a lovely place but curry was bloody awful. At least you'll get a decent curry back in the UK
Want to go and have a look round the museums next time we go.
The weathers shite here at the moment and in San Diego, theres a big storm of the coast and they're predicting a 6 - 8 foot swell with some flooding, its raining here at the moment and we're supposed to be going to Catalina Island tomorrow as well..
