Yeah, it is really like a little paradise for those who love warm, sunny weather. :) I really like to visit each time I travel to see my aunt living in Orange County. It's an easy drive, but last time I took the train between San Diego and Anaheim. It was awesome - scenic, riding right along the shoreline. You can even wave at the surfers - you are that close to them. Cool! :)) Btw, are there ghetto areas there in San Diego? If so, where are they? I could not find any really run down, dilapidated areas of this city, but maybe they exist...
