Dang, you've hit up a number of good things already! Assuming you're not already staying downtown, hit up Fifth Ave, or otherwise known as Gaslamp. 10 blocks of bars, restaurants, clubs! Rustic Root is an really cool bar, great drinks and rooftop. Omnia nightclub is awesome if you're into clubbing, Analog and Barleymesh is a little bit more laid back club/bar vibe.

What kinda stuff are you into? Little Italy is also a great area for lots of great food and bars and as a more upscale vibe than Gaslamp where everyone just wants to get drunk and hookup. Lots of breweries to check out as well! Ballast Point Brewing has a location in Little Italy, amazing food and beers!

If you're into hiking, Torrey Pines is a great one, pretty easy but can't beat the views! Also Cabrillo National Monument has beautiful views! Definitely go to Coronado beach, the beach by the Hotel Del Coronado is infamous and the little town is adorable.

I loved living out there!! It's an amazing city, so much to do and you can't beat the weather. It was just way too expensive and not practical long term

like

I did Moonshine Beach last night (saw A Thousand Horses), hiked 3 Sisters Falls today, and am doing La Jolla Caves kayak tour tomorrow. What else should I see or do? I have until Friday here

Ok cool, I'm currently sitting in Gaslamp now so I'll wander around to some of those spots, thanks!!

I'm actually working on Coronado and have not checked out the beach there, haha. I typically lean towards cigars and live music when/where available. Prefer lounging to clubbing

Sorry i went overboard with the comments, I had friends visiting so much while I was living out there I had a routine for all their weekends haha. Ahh I miss that city so much! Enjoy!

Sounds like it! Haha, no worries though, I appreciate the ideas. Going on trip solo is usually boring, so trying to push out of my comfort zone and do the same types of stuff I'd do at home

Nice! Thanks EY1

Go see the charger pl... oh yeah, they moved nvmd

Hi all! After graduating with my MBA with a focus in project management, I moved organizations to go from an EMR education manager to a full time project manager specializing in EMR implementation projects.

I want to be great at my job and I think connecting with others that have gone through similar things could help.
