In July, Jason, his wife Dale and nine-year-old son Rudy visited good friends in San Diego. They stayed in their wonderful Del Mar home for 10 days then hanged ten in Hawaii for a week.
Some of Jason’s observations:
– Although the population is huge, the traffic is not really a problem (until you get close to LA, that is!)


– Because of the good weather, cycling is fantastic all year round and outdoor activity is enjoyed all the time. Whilst in San Diego, I savoured three rides up and down the coast and saw lots of cyclists among the gorgeous scenery. The most amazing thing is that there’s bike lanes on nearly every street. Since you ride on the opposite side of the road, I had to get used to looking over my left shoulder and getting off the bike on the right hand side (whilst on the street, so you don’t fall into traffic). The traffic is a lot less agro than Sydney too, everyone seems fairly laid back and give you more than enough room. Our friends said as a general rule in traffic, there’s no beeping of horns, unless someone’s done something very wrong.

– Baseball games are great, did you know that teams play 5-6 days a week? The population is big enough to support it, the Petco Park stadium in SD is packed for most games.

Also the home of the biggest Hot Dog I’ve ever had! Huge sausage wrapped in bacon and covered in several toppings…
– The beautiful seaside suburb of La Jolla is pronounced La Hoya, don’t be a dick like me and embarrass yourself.

– A high percentage of Californians are ridiculously good looking.


– I wish we had squirrels in Sydney…
Love Squirrels!
– We had a great time in SD and Hawaii, can’t wait to go back!
