US - San Diego

You gotta love a major city that has beautiful beaches right next door and the Mexican border just down the street. Driving to Mexico is just fun, while walking across can be god damn scary (I did both). Tijuana is very boring and empty during the day, but at night it comes alive like some of the best party places in the world. If you didn’t have to worry about getting your head chopped off it would be much more of an overnight destination.

San Diego itself has a number of “districts” that make it a cool walk around city. The beaches are gorgeous and the hotel scene is getting there.

Notes to self:

-Staying at the beach is preferable. Visit the city from there.

-The gaslamp area is a must do.

-Had a blast in Rosarita beach one night when we crossed the border…

Tower 23 - Mar 2007

Great hotel, right on the boardwalk. Lots of style with an old school lean. Great outdoor patios and lounging areas. Cool lobby. I would stay here again.
