November 2010 Road Trip Part 2

On our way leaving Las Vegas for San Diego, we stopped by at a McDonald restaurant since we hadn't had lunch. What I like about McDonald in the US is the ice sweet tea which is not served in any Canadian McDonald (as far as I know). Hitting back the highway, we proceeded with high speed (approximately 100 miles/hour of speed) and again, I was constantly nervous and kept checking out the surrounding to make sure no police was around. As we almost reached the greater San Diego area, I explained to my uncle how the speeding ticket works. As I was explaining, a police car was behind us and honking on us to pull over. Oh great!!! Finally we got caught. Long story short, we got a speeding ticket with an unknown amount since it's not stated on the ticket. The ticket doesn't even have the website on it. We ended up having to go to Civil Court in Beverly Hills to find out how to pay for the ticket.

On our way from Las Vegas to San Diego, we stopped by a big and famous factory outlet, Cabazon. We shopped for about 2 or 3 hours and then we continued out road trip. I'd have to say Cabazon was alright (I rate my shopping experience there 7/10).

As we reached San Diego, we checked into our hotel, Doubletree Club Hotel San Diego. After that, we were very hungry for food and finally had dinner at nearby Cheesecake Factory restaurant. Then, we went to see how downtown San Diego looks like and then headed back to hotel for a rest.

The next day, we did a quick visit to San Diego Seaworld. It's nothing special except the Shamu Show.

I have to say that San Diego was just OK and nothing much to do except visiting the beach. I didn't have a chance to visit San Diego Zoo since my travel buddy didn't want to go. We ended up trying to go to the border between Mexico and the US. As we reached the border we didn't really have a gut to cross the border. We ended up shopping at the factory outlet near the border which was probably the highlight of our shopping experience in this trip since we shopped the most here (shopping experience 9/10).

The next day, we tried to visit a beach in San Diego, la Jolla Beach. The view was awesome! I feel that I should have visited more beaches in San Diego. Oh well, probably next time!!! We had to leave San Diego and continued our journey to the next destination, Los Angeles!
