Divided into several communities, San Diego has fun and intriguing activities for all ages and interests. From Ocean Bay to City Heights, San Diego offers 20 miles of vacation possibilities.

Sea World is a marine lover's dream. From the Orca (Killer Whale) to the various aquariums of exotic fish, Sea World offers something for everybody. Visiting the petting pool can be a great way to spend the extra time one may have before the seal show.

The San Diego Zoo is a world of color and amazement. Koalas at one corner and parrots at another, it's a wonderful way to learn about creatures of all sorts. Bus tours run all over the park and the Skyfari offers an aerial view of the 100+ acre zoo. Animals can be observed in their natural environments as well as in the shows which are held daily.

Restaurants vary widely in San Diego, from expensive to economical. Alize' is an expensive restaurant which serves delicacies caught fresh from the depths of the sea. If Mexican and low-cost are more practical, then Rancho El Nopal, in the heart of Old Town, offers traditional Mexican dishes. If good-ole'-fashioned American grill fits the bill, then try Tom Ham's Lighthouse, which over looks beautiful San Diego Bay.

For the traveler who loves art and enjoys taking a glance into the past, San Diego offers several museums. In Balboa Park, the San Diego Museum of Art features special exhibits, guided tours, a gift shop and the Sculpture Garden Cafe. Also for the traveler who enjoys natural beauty, San Diego offers several aquatic museums; such as the Stephen Birch Aquarium Museum at Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
