Hah...Old Town. I remember Webster and I had dinner there a few years back during TechEd. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I remember the old ladies rolling out the tortillas in the window of the place. I could have dined solely on tortilla chips and been perfectly happy. I also remember our taxi driver offering to procure us some female companionship. Jim

There are 12 or so places to buy apple pie in this quiet very small township. Bring your own cheese. When I lived up north in Ontario for a few years I learned "An apple pie without the cheese, is like a kiss without the squeeze". Cheddar is best. You don't taste the cheese, and it brings out the flavor in the apple. La Jolla shores has some great areas to go cliff jumping if you so desire, and La Jolla shores has some nice beaches with decent waves and long declines into the ocean. If you have little kids in tow, my favorite beach is at the Hotel Del Coronado because they go through with a beachcomber every night and clean out the seaweed and debris from the sand. Old Town (in San Diego) is fun to roam around and has some good eateries too for some good southwest food.

If you're going to be in the San Diego area, go the the WIld Animal Park instead. It's run by the San Diego Zoo, but the animals are in very large open spaces and (mostly) live together. They do keep the lions out of the gazelle areas for obvious reasons. On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 11:43 PM, Brian Desmond <[email protected]> wrote: Add Hoover Dam to your Vegas list. Do you like good (like really good) food? That's probably my favorite thing to do (and spend money on) in both of these places. If you want some food recommendations in LA let me know. I'd also look up when the Food Trucks are all out in Venice (it's a couple days a month I think) as they're a unique experience. In LA, I'd add The Getty, Venice, Santa Monica, possibly drive down to San Diego (spend a night or two there it's really nice and totally different - only like 90 mins away). The USS Midway is fun in San Diego, you can actually take light rail to Tijuana also. Drive through like La Jolla and such along the coast. In general driving along the coast (PCH) is generally very pretty. Topanga Canyon north of LA is a fun drive. The San Diego Zoo is one of the top zoos out there (though I haven't yet been). Legoland and Disneyland are nearby to both if you're in to either of those things. Hollywood walk of fame of course. Personally I think you have too much time in both of these places. Are you open to customizing a bit?

I'll be on the West Coast. Mainly after things to do in LA and Vegas. Have 4-6 days in LA and 5 in Vegas so not a lot of time. Will have a car though. After that I'm on a boat for 7 days down to Mexico and back. So far for LA:- · Tar Pits · Long Beach · Universal Studios · Eat something with cheese on it (I've heard it's really hard to find in the U.S. J) Vegas:- · Grand Canyon (of course) · cirque du soleil · Obvious stuff like walking the strip and checking out each of the big casinos · Crazy as it sounds I'm more interested in the shows etc rather than the gambling. I'll be sure to bring some koala toys (after I remove the made in china label). I've heard I'll have to talk slow so that you Yanks can understand me. As for the "crikey!" comment I actually don't live that far from Australia Zoo which was built by Steve Irwin (which is one of the few people that ever uses that word these days) Wouldn't mind jumping around like a fool in front of a Microsoft Kinect if I can find one.

If you want "some tips from some of the locals on this list", just ask. We're already here! And since you asked, here are a few: 1) North America is really, really large. (Maybe even larger than Australia!) The farther north you go, the heavier clothing you'll need. 2) Always buy Americans a beer first. After that they'll fall all over themselves to return the kindness for the rest of the night. And to hear your funny accent. Seriously. You'll come out way ahead on this one, and save a tonne of money. 3) 2) Does not work on people from Canada or Mexico. 4) Tell them your great grandfather was a hardened, unrepentant criminal from England. They expect to hear it anyway, even if he was a priest, or an Aborigine, or a Prime Minister. 5) Bring your a Koala with you as an ice breaker. Everyone has one, right? If I've missed anything, just ask. Cheers, G'day, and all that stuff.
