yeah actually i take 805 north. i know exactly where your talking baout. im not near carmel mountain though. if you take 805 south exit mira mesa, turn left, make a left at the first light which is vista sorrento pkwy, go up 2 lights past the 805 north onramp, past the car pool parking. my office is on the corner of lusk and vista sorrento pkwy. the place with the big waterfall going down to the street corner.

Cool article. Hey bmms8, while I'm not from SD, my family vacations every year at the SD Hilton Beach & Tennis Resort - love the atmosphere and, of course, the weather.
Nice town you have - we always try to a Padres game (remember that we have the Reds and Bengals in town), Cheesecake Factory, Wild Animal Park, friends' house in Rancho Bernardo, and other stuff.
Now if I can only convince my family to let me drive my E500 instead of flying this next summer...

well actually its in fashion valley mall, which is mission valley technically by zip code. there are to many communities in the city of San Diego it gets the people who live here confused. i guess that would be considered close to clairmont and sea world. i live here so i dont think so but i can see how a visitor might think so since fashion valley is on friars road and that goes down towards sea world drive.

No, I mean the hotel is on East Mission Bay Drive right across the water from Sea World. But yup, the Cheesecake Factory that we go to is off Friars Road near some shopping center (not Fashion Valley where we've also been).
And one of these days, we'll get everyone to venture into Mexico for some fun, instead of always going to the zoo or whatever.
