And in San Diego it's the damn sunbirds aka Zonies.
Ratchets was one. Bet he'll do it again next summer. 
San Diego was fantastic! I can't believe it's not like 30 million people living there LoL. We will definitely do it again next summer if we're still here, or go to San Francisco or something. We do appreciate the tips also, it was a short trip but nice. Would definitely recommend it to anybody else looking for a place to vacation at. I still can't believe parking was free by the beach!
It seems to be a very "military friendly" town too. Everything was reduced prices except the Hard Rock Hotel, which charged us extra for some kind of package that I didn't want or order. I argued about it and was really close to getting our money back for it when my wife said "You're done dude" and shut it down. Just for the record, with a little more time we would have gotten that bit taken off the bill. And we should have. But that's in the past and I'm over it.
I don't know what's up with the weather there. It got sunny during the day so we all got sunburnt and then in the evening it was COLD! I mean like 80 degrees LoL. That's really what the temp was and it seemed cold...we were shivering walking back to the hotel that will not be named that screwed us out of $17.
Here's the summer weather report:
Night and morning low clouds clearing around noon. Highs in the upper 70s; lows in the low 60s. Rinse and repeat for three months.
There are A LOT more people there than when I was growing up. Some of this is good; when I was growing up everyone's father was either in the military or was a defense contractor. Mainly due to the University (UCSD) at least the area in which I grew up got a lot more diverse. But traffic, especially N. County traffic, sucks.
Be sure to avoid these!

N ext time you are in town let me know ............ we can meet at a local mall for lunch or something. I'm in Fountain Hills ........... east of Scottsdale. Well hopefully my renter wants to stay for a while. But I will be making a couple of trips to AZ for a minor redo for my orthodonture. Problem is these are really quick trips. I'll do a shout out as the time approaches. |

How do you like Phoenix?
Rachets ........ I absolutely despise Phoenix proper. And I had a Phoenix postal address for several years when DH#1 died. Too many people, too many idiot drivers I had to contend with driving down I17 at 5:30 am to work. Too stifling hot with the asphalt heat pocket.
I wasn't thrilled moving back to the area but Fountain Hills is just enough higher in elevation to be a couple of degrees cooler. This town has a population of about 20K and the McDowell Mountains are between us and Phoenix.
Now the temps are VERY nice and I saw yesterday where northern Michigan has their first snow. I like snow, don't like driving on ice.
Can't have it all .......... LOL We chose not to be snowbirds.

LOL, I used to joke that when it was a stifling hot 115 degrees in Phoenix it was a cool and breezing 105 in Carefree. 
I only really hated July when the monsoon was building. Then it was time to check on the rentals at the beach in San Diego.
