Reply #8: I like wine so...

[Oerdin]

A trip to the Temcula wine country is always fun plus since you're already going south of the border why not try out Baja's up and coming wine region in the Guadalupe Valley? It is only 65 miles south of the border and many of the big international wine vintners have set up wineries there. January is also a great time to visit Anza-Berrigo Desert State Park to see the wild flowers plus if you enjoy world class dinning then San Diego has more then its fair share. Water sports (deep sea fishing, sailing, surfing, swimming, jet skiing, etc...) are always popular as are the city's numerous museums (they have the largest collection of museums west of the Mississippi) while hot air balloon or hang gliding are also popular attractions.

The nightlife scene in the Gas Lamp district is top notch while Balboa Park is one of America's great urban parks. Sun bathing on the beach (I like Del Mar best) is always popular while things like Sea World or the Zoo are fun for even the most downer adult. Catch a bull fight in Tijuana's Arena del Toros, eat some of the best tacos ever from vendors with push carts, and buy dodgy Mexican handy crafts in TJ. Go camping in one of the region's numerous state parks or just visit places like Cabrillo National Monument, the USS Midway, and Torrey Pine's State Park or shop til you drop at the numerous malls and boutiques. There are boat loads of things to do and it just depends what interests you.
