24 hours in San Diego - Where to stay and what to do?

I arrive at 10:30 am Wednesday morning. Shit. You're right.

 

That's some shit luck. It's been beautiful lately save for one day of rain. I kind of nailed it though because I'm in WI for work and it's going to be in the 60s here on Wednesday...

 

Two years ago we had a foot of snow in Baja as well as sub 30* weather. Cold and wet and icy. Last year was rain the whole trip. If I can trade my off day with rain for 5 bike days without rain I'm in.

 

The missus and I enjoyed Landini's Pizzeria for a couple of by-the-slice type fare. Probably hard to go wrong in a place called Little Italy

 

I spent Oct/Nov at 5the ave Marina right behind the convention center. The convention center was a gigantic homeless shelter with thousands of homeless. Police and fire/ rescue we there at least 10 times a day. Security was very tight at the Marina. Kind of ironic having 100 million dollars worth of yachts and homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk 50ft away, got to love Cali

 

Right now its outside only right now. So any place that has patios is good to go. They are making announcement today on tier data so may drop to red tier which will open indoor dining at a limited capacity also.

 

Oh boy! Daddy's going to let us drink beer inside soon if we behave? I'm so excited. I feel so free.

 

Tijuana is a hop skip and a jump. Lmk if you need some cheap hookers and blow

 

We are crossing into baja at Otay Mesa. Then blast to la rumarosa or thereabouts so no time for shenanigans. But thanks for looking out for us!

 

Otay Mesa? You'll miss the majestic beauty of Zona Norte, Tijuana, but suit yourself.

 

I cruised thru Gaslamp yesterday, what a shell of it's former self. Absolutely nothing going on but bums & freaks walkin' around.
I hadn't gone thru Little Italy in almost a year, that place was jammin'
Sorrento's restaurant is a fav of mine. Paula (waitress) & Alex (Bartender) are great....not sure they're still there though.

Weathers beautiful today 60/62F
