What is the price range for a decent hotel in San Diego? I'm leaving Austin, Texas and taking a multi city flight route back home to my homestate of Illinois. I'm thinking about spending a 3-5 days in San Diego, but I really don't want to spend a large chunk of money. If I want to reside at a hotel that has a bus line or metro that will take me to the attractions, such as the beach, what is the price range that I should expect to pay? If I don't take this trip and decide to choose another city, what advantages do you feel that Miami or Fort Lauderdale may have over San Diego, during this time of the year? I expect to arrive at one of these destinations sometime between March 4-6 and expect to leave just a few days afterward. Thanks!

Public transportation from Anaheim greyhound station to Disneyland? I might be taking a greyhound bus from my hometown of San Diego, CA to Anaheim on my own. Now I've been to Anaheim before but never by myself. Driving is out of the question. How is the public transportation going from the Anaheim greyhound station to Disneyland? Would it be easy for me (someone who is not familiar with the OC) to understand? I contacted OC Transit and they gave me a few transfer routes. Now I take public transportation all around San Diego so I figure that it's not that difficult to follow in Anaheim. Any suggestions or tips? Amtrak is a little pricey; that's why I opted for Greyhound.

Just wanting some tips and advise on hiring a car in Mexicali and weather it will be possible to drop off in Mexico City? Also from what i can see it will take around 32 hours is this correct? We have basically got 10days to get there for our flight and want to stop off for a couple of days at the nicest places.

transportation from amtrak stations to rancho penasquitos area? I am coming from up north and my desination is in Rancho Penasquitos in San Diego. I am planning to take amtrak and stop either in Oceanside, Solana Beach, or Downtown SD. If I stop in Oceanside, I can take the sprinter to Escondido and then the 350 bus to North County Fair, then bus 20 to Rancho Penasquitos. This will take about 2 hours and 35 minutes. I don't mind the cost of it but it takes a long time. If I use buses, I can go from the Solana Beach Amtrak station to Rancho Penasquitos and get there in 2 hours. This is still a lot of time just for a short distance (plus the added time on the train). If I go downtown, it will take an hour and 36 minutes by bus to get to Rancho Penasquitos (plus an additional hour on the train). It looks like all options will take me about 3.5 hours total if you count the train travel and bus travel. So my question to you is... do you know of any other means of transportation or any other routes around the Rancho Penasquitos area? Cabs are too expensive, but I would really like to find some sort of express bus or anything that would make this trip take less time.

Best route for roadtrip? My boyfriend and I will be traveling from Vancouver, BC down to San Diego, CA during a period of three weeks (July 23rd to August 19th) this summer, and we really want to make it worthwhile! What are some places that we MUST visit, and do you have any advice on the best way to do it by taking public transportation? Is the bus better, or should we take a train? The biggest consideration here is cash. In order, these are the cities we're thinking about visiting: fly into Vancouver from Philadelphia, go to Seattle, Portland, Napa, Sacramento, Oakland/San Fran, San Luis Obispo (to get on the California Surf-liner train route), LA, and flying back to Philadelphia from San Diego. Thanks for any advice you can give us!

Are there any piercing places that will pierce a minor without parental permission in San Diego? My mother hates piercings and thinks they're incredibly trampy- I disagree. I think they look really cool and won't have any effect on whether or not I'll get a job anywhere. I've tried piercing it myself but it didn't work out right and I'd rather go somewhere than do it myself again and risk getting it wrong. I live in La Jolla so I'd like somewhere that's not too far away or is by a bus route. (Don't just tell me to wait a couple of years or to try and change her mind- I've tried both those things already.)

If the World was so Safe before Bush took Office,How do you Explain this List??????? American Victims of Mideast Terrorist Attacks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a listing of incidents in which Americans are known to have been killed by Middle East-based terrorists. The list will be updated as more information becomes available. The exact number of American casualties is difficult to calculate because of incomplete news reports regarding numbers and nationalities of those injured. The toll from the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center is also uncertain, but current figures place the number of dead above 3,000. The number of dead at the Pentagon and on the hijacked airliners numbered approximately 385. Since Yasser Arafat "renounced" violence in the Oslo Peace Accords on September 13, 1993, at least 53 Americans have been murdered and at least another 83 Americans have been injured by Palestinian terrorism. Excluding the September 11 attacks, approximately 700 Americans have been killed and 1,600 wounded in terrorist attacks since 1970.

April 12, 1984, Torrejon, Spain. Hizballah bombed a restaurant near an U.S. Air Force base in Torrejon, Spain, wounding 83 people. September 20, 1984, Beirut, Lebanon.
