Do I need a car in La Jolla?
“Do I need a car in La Jolla?” My answer to this frequent question is always the same. “It depends.” If you are going to stay in a hotel in the village and want to shop, dine, drink, hang out at The Cove, visit the seals at the Children’s Pool, enjoy the view, and maybe […]
San Diego Aerial Sky Tours
In an earlier post I told you about Air2Air and their great San Diego aerial sky tours over La Jolla and other parts of San Diego. Now San Diego Sky Tours, a new sightseeing tour company, is also offering visitors a chance to see San Diego from the air with a first-class flying experience. Departing […]
Cupcakes, Cooking Classes and More
Until recently I thought that Cups was just a cute little cupcake shop in the village. In fact, that’s pretty much what I said in an earlier post. I now know that “Cups” = Cupcakes, Cooking Classes and More. Since my earlier post, I have now been introduced to “Cups Culinary,” the teaching kitchen at […]
Good News for Car-less Visitors to La Jolla
So you’re going to stay in downtown San Diego, but want to visit La Jolla? Until now, I’d have said “take the #30 bus,” but recently Tour Guide Tim began offering another option and it’s good news for car-less visitors to La Jolla. His guided coach tours leave from the Santa Fe train station on […]
The Riford Center, La Jolla Community Center
If bridge, Jazzercise, and cooking classes are things you enjoy, check out The Riford Center, La Jolla Community Center, while you’re in San Diego. This long-time recreational facility – The Riford Center (recently renamed the La Jolla Community Center) is located on La Jolla Boulevard. It has been remodeled and is drawing renewed attention. All adults […]
Calendar of La Jolla Summer Events
San Diego is a great year round travel destination, but summer is really our specialty. The beach scene goes into high gear, the weather is perfect for outdoor dining and open-air concerts and – the best part – neither humidity nor mosquitoes will spoil your fun. Now thru July 5 – “June Colours” at […]
La Jolla Sky Tour
I thought I knew La Jolla and the rest of San Diego, but something happened last week that has given me a new perspective. I flew over my hometown of several decades – not in a big jet that was in a hurry to get someplace, but in a five-seat Piper Seneca with time to […]
Buick Goes Bye-Bye
The golf tournament formerly known as the “Buick Invitational” will take place at Torrey Pines Golf Course as planned from January 25-31, 2010, but for now it’s “The Century Club of San Diego Invitational.” Members of the club are still looking for a major sponsor. Buick was the title sponsor from 1991 to 2009, but […]
More Beaches, More Surf
If you like looking at beautiful beaches and have an extra vacation day, head north from La Jolla through the coastal communities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, Leucadia, and Oceanside. Of these, I think Swami’s Beach in Encinitas is the most scenic. The best view of the surf and sand […]
La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”
In addition to dispensing La Jolla travel information via this blog, I also answer questions on TripAdvisor’s La Jolla Forum. It’s recently become apparent on this site that many visitors aren’t aware that what we locals call “the village” is not the same place as “the Shores.” La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”…. The village […]
