re: San Diego (And Surround Areas) - Hotel and Things to Do
Posted by bigmonkey on 6/27/23 at 9:52 am to bluestem75
My husband and 2 other couples went to San Diego for 7 days last summer. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. It was an excellent location. On our first full day, we took the Hop on Hop Off Tour which pick up was right in front of our hotel. We got off at Coronado. After several hours, we hopped back on and go off again at Old Town (which is interesting) and had an excellent late lunch at Miguel's Cocina. Then hopped back on the bus to continue our tour until we got back to our hotel stop. The next day, we spent the whole day at the Zoo and Balboa Park since they are right next to each other. On the Saturday, we went to tour Little Italy and the huge Farmers Market (only open on Saturday). Then we headed to La Jolla which is very nice. Other things we toured are the USS Midway, the men went to Torrey Pines for a round of golf, cruised the bay, and visited the Gas Lamp District and Petco Park. We had dinner one night at Flemings, which was awesome. Hope this helps you make some decisions and that you enjoy your trip as much as we did.

re: Is it too late to book a trip to Italy for June 26-July 13?

We just returned from Italy. Spent 3 nights in each Venice, Florence, and Rome. Rome was our favorite. Wish we had spend more time in Rome.
If you are looking for hotels the Ai Reali in Venice was very nice, staff was wonderful, great location, and the free breakfast was delicious. The Artemide in Rome was also very nice, wonderful staff, great location, and fabulous free breakfast. We also ate lunch one day and night meals in the restaurant. All meals were delicious.
On Sundays at noon in Rome, the Pope gives a message to the audience from his apartment window. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Tours of St Peter's Basilica are also given by an American seminarian on certain days at 2:15. If this is something you are interested in google for more information.
We also enjoyed the full experience tour of the Coliseum which also included the Roman Forum and Palatine.
Hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did.
