San Diego - Crowded, Congested, Also Incredibly Beautiful

We sent several days in San Diego, California. While stunningly beautiful, the city is also congested and difficult to travel around.
We stayed at the Best Western Yacht Harbor Hotel.

    There are so many places to see in San Diego county that it takes years! Julian in the mountains, an old mining town, Wild Animal Park, so much diversity and history.

    Thank you for making this. I used to visit my parents in San Diego during Christmas. The Hotel Del at Christmastime is magnificent! You replayed great memories of the zoo for me. It looks the same as the last time I was there in 2008. The areas north of Spokane, Washington are absolutely stunning! If you ever make your way up to Pend Oreille County, stop in and say "hey". 👽✌️

    $15 dollars for a beer. That's what's so wrong with America. Pure greed. I like that you review the hotels you stay at to give people an idea what they're like if they visit the towns you go to, but you should also tell what they cost because that's pretty important to people.

    Excellent video guys. Just loved the zoo part of the video. Dang the price is crazy to get into the zoo. Where you able to see the whole zoo in one day. I’m thinking of visiting Cali in the new year and would love to see the zoo and the aircraft carrier. Just want to let you know how much your videos mean to me, the last two years not traveling has been the shits, so your videos are giving me that sense of travel. Keep up the amazing job you’ve been doing.

    Again, just a guess. It's too small to be an aircraft and the "rotors" are round (like tubing). My reasoning is that they are just a sensor package. Garmin sells smaller noncommercial versions for boats and stuff.

    I moved to San Diego 11 years ago after 40 years in NYC (native Texan not New Yorker). SD is expensive; however, on a recent vacation to several locations eastward it's not that much more expensive. Has gotten worse everywhere over the past couple years. Anyway, zoo was/is fantastic. Fortunate for me I had a complementary pass and was spared paying the entrance fee. Hope to return. Hadn't realized the zoo was as highly acclaimed as you pointed out.
