We are heading back for Mexico soon but I am trying to convince my husband to stay a week at the new Ocho Cascadas if we can make the dates work with a week at our own timeshare unit we own. We may as well use up the contract as soon as we can but we need an equally good view unit that we own or we are not going to stay there when it is hot and muggy. Planning this kind of stuff is not easy for me but I will try.

We also want to go to Alcatraz, and I hear you should order your tickets in advance for that.Jacki

Definitely get your tickets for Alcatraz ahead of time. And I have a great restaurant suggestion for dinner for San Francisco. We found it on our last trip. It's Fino Restaurant at 624 Post Street, two Blocks from Union Square.Luanne

In San Diego, in addition to the Zoo, I would also recommend a trip to Balboa Park, Seaport Village (walk along the waterfront), and Star of India which is an original Windjammer ship converted to maritime museum. If you have a car or figure out the bus route, you can also go to La Jolla Cove. Nice restaurants and shops nearby. An alternative to La Jolla will be Coronado Beach across the Coronado Bridge. At night, go to Gaslamp District for dinner.
In San Francisco, take a Blue and Gold Ferry at Pier 39 which takes you close to the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge. You will also see Alcatraz up and close. Buy a Muni Pass for a day to get unlimited muni buse/rail and cable cars. Figure out how to use it to go to Golden Gate Bridge and walk on the bridge to Marine side. the Lombard Street is fun to walk down. Union Square is all the big stores and you should stop by. If you have time, also go up to the Coit Tower.

We went to a couple of restaurants in Little Italy that we really liked, one was an old time pizza/pasta type place where you enter through an Italian store, and the other was also a pizza place, but with the super thin crust and all fresh ingredients. Totally different from each other and both were enjoyable.Luanne

Thank you all for the San diego and San francisco ideas. Keep them coming please! July will be here before we know it. I've never been to California. We plan to rent a car for at least one day to drive up to Solana Beach to see the timeshare we've owned for several years and have never seen. Luanne I would greatly appreciate that list. You can email it to nurseodonnell@gmail.com. Thanks so much.Jacki
