I went to Tijuana as a kid and thought it was awful too LOL - DH is keen to experience it for what it is . I grew up in San Diego so the zoo and sea world are high on my list!!!

Would love some tips on the best areas to stay in LA and San Fran - is Hollywood a good place as far as being "central"?

We would love to go to Vegas but not sure if the budget will allow - we'll see!!

Keep them coming girls - I'm getting some fantastic ideas here!!
