San
Diego Vacation
If you’re planning a vacation to California, you should
really consider the San Diego area. There is multitude of activities
and sights to see; you probably won’t have enough time to do
it all! To make your San Diego vacation is one to remember, be sure to
start plenty ahead of time. It’s possible to purchase tickets
online for such attractions as Sea World and the San Diego
Zoo, which are usually available at a discount when
purchasing in advance. There is something for everyone, depending on
what you have in mind. Torrey Pines State Park offers room to run with
viewing of wild rare birds and a stately abundance of pine trees, which
of course, gives the historic park its name.
With such a wide variety of activities, events, restaurants, and
lodging, you can plan your trip on a budget or spend lavishly,
whichever you prefer. Such historic sites as the Hotel del Coronado,
offer upscale shopping, dining, and informative tours as well as fine
overnight accommodations. Many festive occasions take place at this
ocean side historic landmark; grand weddings being the most popular.
There are many family friendly activities also available, such as bike
rentals, swimming, and sand toys to rent. This grand old hotel is also
rumored to be haunted, something for those who enjoy the paranormal!
The San Diego Zoo is one of the most popular attractions. It is
considered to be America’s best, and one of the most famous
zoos also, with many of the rarest animals on display.
According to Frommer’s, a well respected travel publication,
the zoo serves as residence to over 4,000 different creatures and is
operated by the Zoological Society of San Diego. Plan on spending a
whole day and then some meandering through the many paved walkways of
the park, or you can take the popular tramway for a wonder aerial
overview. There can sometimes be a wait for some of the zoos
newest and most popular exhibits, but all well worth it!
Bring your camera and take lots of pictures, the animals love the
attention!
Another must see attraction is Sea World, home of Shamu and as of
December, 2004, Baby Shamu, the killer whales. These spectacular
creatures put on shows daily exhibiting their unique relationships and
many talents. Watch out for the big splash if you’re sitting
in the front rows! Brrrrr! When the killer whales make their dives,
they splash chilly 55 degree salt water on the closest fans; an
exciting, wet experience!
Where ever you stay, or what attractions you see, you won’t
be disappointed by the over abundance of things to do or experience in
San Diego. Fine dining on the wharf, or shopping in Gaslamp Quarter,
the possibilities are endless. Bring the kids or leave them with the
grandparents for a romantic trip for two, you can’t go wrong!
