    Have to disagree on public transit. Went everywhere, including La Jolla, via bus and trolley. Wonderful.

    Was totally worth the trip to San Diego again for California burritos, Mike Hess Tacos and to see the sea lions despite the smell 😂

    Right on Jay! I haven't been to SD in many years but I found myself agreeing with pretty much all your points. As much as it's changed since I left in 1998 after fifteen years, some things haven't changed at all ! Cheers man

    Great content as always Jay! I first visited San Diego in Thanksgiving of 2022. Loved it sooo much, & your vids have helped me on everything there. I'd love to come back to SD hopefully later this year to see it a 2nd time. I miss the sunshine, the ocean, laid back California lifestyle, & especially the food. Carne Asada Fries from Roberto's & Nico's, along with Scallop Sandwiches at Point Loma Seafood, mannn I wanna try them both again, & eat more Asian food at Convoy District. Much love from a fellow loyal traveler & food lover from Dallas, Texas! 😃

    I fell for the CD scam when I first moved here back in April. Do yourself a favor and just keep walking. If you engage at all, you will be giving up some money. Tried the “I don’t have cash” line but didn’t matter. They got Venmo too. Walk as far away from them as you before passing by 😅

    IDK if this is a scam or not, but watch out for those people who are standing in front of skincare shops or kiosks handing out samples. I was at Seaport Village while comic con was going on and was approached by a woman standing outside a skincare shop near a coffee and bagel place and she was asking me all sorts of personal questions and trying to sell me a $200 eye lotion made of ingredients you can find in a lotion for a fraction of the price elsewhere. These shops and kiosks are prevalent at areas tourists gather in San Diego and elsewhere, all sales are final (they usually make their refund policy as hard to find), and they use aggressive tactics once they get you to sit down for a demo. Someone in Las Vegas did a youtube video that explains it in more detail how this hustle targets vulnerable women tourists. Like the CD scammer, just don't stop for someone who is approaching you and please don't let them put something in your hands.

    Of course you can get around San Diego on public transportation. You can hop on buses to the beaches. You can hop on a trolley down to the border. You can hop on buses to the popular tourist attractions around San Diego.

    Great video Jaycation. The tourist trap regarding the US-Mexico border can also be applied to the US-Canada border to a certain extent as well particularly at the Blaine Washington/White Rock BC crossing. Apart from a few duty free shops that are very expensive & the Peace Arch, there isn't much to do besides those two things. In fact most people use the Blaine crossing to get gas or a quick bite to eat before crossing into Canada due to how expensive gas is in Canada.

    Hey Jaycation. Do a Balboa Park area with the museums and venues there. Also, military and Veterans can get special pricing on tickets through ITT travel. There is a couple on Camp Pendleton. They use to ship tickets so find them and ask.
