Thank you drewsnav. Bit of downer this car thing...its not that I don't want to drive I can't... for a little while longer...well about another year or so!!! Do you think there is enough to do in San Diago for the duration of my stay? I really want to see Hearst castle and spend a day in La Jolla cove so thats a bit of time out of town. Some time laying out in the sun with a book and beer would be good so I may book into the Hilton Harbor island for a few days. Regards Al
