SAN DIEGO IN...
It's easy to spend most of a week in San Diego, but if your time is limited, here's a whirl-
wind itinerary. Things will go more smoothly if you've got access to a car.
ONE DAY
Rub elbows with the locals over breakfast in the Gaslamp Quarter then ramble around
Old Town State Historic Park for a bit of history before a Mexican lunch. Devote the after-
noon to the San Diego Zoo , which is among the world's best, and if time permits visit
some of the museums or gardens in graceful Balboa Park ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ). For dinner
and a night out on the town, head to the hip East Village or back to the Gaslamp Quarter,
where many restaurants have terrace seating for people-watching, and the partying
ranges from posh to raucous.
TWO DAYS
Take the ferry to Coronado for a sea-view breakfast at the Hotel del Coronado , then enjoy
the California beach scene at Mission and Pacific Beaches . La Jolla beckons this after-
noon: explore Torrey Pines State Reserve , Birch Aquarium at Scripps , kayak the sea
caves , try a glider ride or head to La Jolla Village to browse the 1920s Spanish Revival
landmarks and boutiques. As the sun begins its descent over the ocean, head to Del Mar ,
where you can cheer from, or snuggle at, one of the restaurants on the roof of Del Mar
Plaza ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 1555 Camino Del Mar) while the sky turns brilliant orange and
fades to black.
