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.

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.

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.

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..
