JCrand,
You can never go wrong with Coastal San Diego, or coastal anywhere in California.
If I can just ask one favor, please be mentally prepared.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard the story from a self transplanted, sun hating, college insignia wearing, pink eyed lab rat that the girls are all stuck up and stupid, the sun is bad for you, granola sucks, it's too crowded, it's too expensive, it's closed minded, it's clickish, surfing isn't as easy as it looks, the movie industry is difficult, at home people are so different than here, the water is cold (when it's 70 deg. f).....
My intention isn't to be mean, just know what your getting into.
Having said that, come on over. If we all scoot over a bit, I'm sure there's room for one more.
I forgot to mention, you'll miss the deer flies.
