Travel plans though, we both are normally gung-ho about. We love traveling, and planning out our travels. I love picking places to visit from a map (although I'd prefer to pick random places blindfolded from a globe, I suppose I'm not adventurous or rich enough to do that), researching its attractions and basic history/information about the place, and picking places to stay and things to do. That said, shorter, day trips we yend to embark on without too much research, and usually without any preparation. This is somehow especially the case with our visits to beaches.
This time, we did things quite differently. We decided that we would travel to San Diego over the Thanksgiving weekend, almost on the eve of Thanksgiving day. We luckily got reservations at the Comfort Inn, Gaslamp District, San Diego, and S as always was game to drive all the way and back - a journey that ended up being about a thousand miles.
San Diego is famous for its lovely beaches, and sunsets. It's a lot warmer than San Francisco and the (San Francisco) Bay area. It's located way South of San Francisco (which is considered part of 'NorCal' or Nothern California), South of Los Angeles by about a couple hundred miles. It's less than twenty miles from the Mexican border, and while I was tempted to visit Tijuana in Mexico, it seemed a little unsafe, and we decided to resist the temptation this time.
And so we were ready to leave!
The selfie to kickstart the journey...
It seemed a nice day, on the way.
But it was sundown before we reached! A lot of San Diego's attractions, such as the zoo, Sea World and the USS Midway Museum close by 5 pm, and the city was quite a ghost town on Thanksgiving Day, so we had to wait till the next day to really explore the city.
