San Diego My REVIEW..UPDATED WITH PICS EVEN MORE!!!

So we went to CA on Friday, and DELTA is the WORST WORST WORST airline ever.. before we take off some employee in a truck on the runway hits the plane and pokes a hole in the engine and we have to de plane and reboard another plane. then last night on the way home, we were delayed 2 hours and they were SOOO rude and then they lost my luggage, luckily it came at 2am last night to my house.

Anyway..
The HYATT ISLANDIA WAS OUTSTANDING!!! it was like a rainforest of greens and beautiful flowers EVERYWHERE! the out side of the hotel smelt like a florist.. the room was beautiful and very clean, well worth the money and in the PERFECT location, we could not have asked for a better location, it was in a short driving distance from EVERYTHING.. the food was great.. we had room service alot for breakfast, and in the lobby was a little starbucks that had coffee and crossiants that we got some mornings... the hotel room had a sliding door that opened SOOO wide and everynight we slept with it open and we could hear the water and the breeze was so nice and not one bug!! i couldnt believe it!!! there was a beautiful fish pond and there was a couple getting married there right in the court yard! dont worry i have pics of ALL Of this!

On Saturday we went to coronado and walked aound the town, it was very beachy and we LOVED it.. we visisted the del coronado which was better than words can describe, they have shops in there and its just SOO pretty and we went on their beach put our feet in the ocean and took B&WW pictures. Then we went over to laJolla, which was SOO nice.. its also on the water and its a little town with all shops not like souvineer shops but boutiques and more upscale stores like ann taylor and nortrams.. it was SOO nice..

Sunday was our anniversary and we woke up and went to the zoo.. i personally was not completley thrilled with the zoo.. i dont think it was any better than the bronx zoo, except for the flowers everywhher.. it was VERY hilly and it took ALOT out of you to walk around, the panda exhibit line was like 2 hours long so we didn not get to see that.. but all in all it was a nice day out.

SATURDAY NIGHT, we went to BERTRANDS at MR AS (a recommendation from Yabbobay!! THANKS!!!)
it was BEAUTIFUL.. there were panoramic views of the entire city and you can see the planes coming in and out so close. frank loved it but it freaked me out a little since i was there on 9-11 and just kind of reminded me of the whole ordeal. but the meal was PERFECT~!!! our hotel had them give us a complementary app. which was scalops and caviar.. ( i couldnt eat it but it looked great, and such a nice thought) i had filet mignon, and that was outstanding.. the chef sent over cookies and on the plate in chocolate sauce was happy anniversary.. it was SOOO nice.. the resturant was beautiful, i have never been in a nicer place..but its VERY $$$$$$...

Monday we went for massages that was GREAt, only this guy massaged my but and i never had that before so it freaked me out, and then i told frank and he has been making fun of me since.. all in all it was SOOO relaxing, then we went to sea world, which i think is over priced, but one thing i got to do was FEED THE DOLPHINS and it was awesome.. the next time i go i am DEFINALTY doing the DIP program... it would be great to swim with them!

Tuesday we went to Delmar which was amazing so pretty, definaly a surfing town!!!

We did so much everyday that we were soo tired at night we couldnt do much.. we did go to this part of town called the gaslamp which was more of a club/bar atmosphere, and i didnt want to go to those places.. we were too tired anyway..

we rented alot of movies, they have on command there and there was all kinds of movies to rent that are still in the theatre like chicago.. i couldnt believe it.. i rented LORD OF THE RINGS, HOW TO LOOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS and OLD SCHOOL.. they were awesome.. we positioned the tv to point out to the balcany and sat outside and watched tv from there with blankets.. it was great.. and sooo relaxing!!!
well i guess thats it for now.. im soo sad, i dont want to be back!! LOL

Your trip sounds wonderful!!!! (except for Delta) I am glad you had such a great time.

I felt the same way about the zoo. It was nice and you have to go there at least once if you are in San Diego, but except for the birds of prey I don't think I would have missed anything.

The DIP program sounds really cool at Sea world though!

sounds like you had a great trip! Aside from the stupid airline! I'm really surprised about the Zoo, but then realized - we were there on a Tuesday, and it was EMPTY! I remember walking around saying to DH that we were so lucky not to deal with the weekend crowds.
There wasn't any line for the pandas...believe me, it wouldn't have been worth a 2 hr wait - that's ridiculous! We enjoyed the Animal Park better, esp. since our Bronx Zoo is so good too.

Can't wait to see pics!

Am so glad you guys had a great time! The hotel grounds are gorgeous. I agree about the SD zoo -- I remember being exhausted after walking around all day long! I love sea world -- I had no idea you could swim with the dolphins there!!

Suzanne...i'm glad you had a great time...I'm so glad that the restaurant was good...I was thinking all weekend about it...I didn't want to send you to someplace that you would hate for your first anniversary!!!

too bad about the zoo...DH loves sea world...so thats always comes before the zoo...

and too bad about delta...we always use them and mostly have good servie...its nice b/c they are direct to SD and NYC...

I hope the message was still good...we have a great place we go to in Pacific Beach...which isn't too far from where you stayed

can't wait to see the rest of the pictures...
