San Diego is indeed a beautiful city.  I have been there several times and I love the climate.  It is warm and mild every month of the year.

 I just went to San Diego for the first time this year, stayed in Coronado...really beautiful place!

Hey guys,

I write a non-profit site on San Diego called Local Wally's Guide to San Diego at www.LocalWally.com.  I live in SD and thought it would be fun to write a tourist site.  It's actually won quite a few awards, including best local site from the local newspapers.  Hope you like it.

Also, I just published a site on Napa Valley called, yup, Local Wally's Guide to Napa at www.NapaTouristGuide.com.  It's a bit more professional looking but has a lot of content.

 I have planned to visit the place next year.
