I think it’s a great spot…made me proud to know I was taking a driving vacation soon…it appeals to what a lot of American families will look to this year, short road trips, car camping with groups, friends, vacationing within 3-4 hours drive etc.

The San Diego Trolley system is actually pretty nice. I grew up in east county San Diego, and rarely used the trolley, but for those closer to the downtown area it is quite useful.

Surfliner is nice, except that it takes 4-5 hours and actually costs more than the cost of driving, even during last year’s higher gas prices. Too bad the CA HSR link between L.A. and S.D. is even farther off in the future than the rest of the line.

Oh, and the main train station in S.D. is called Santa Fe Depot.

But seriously, it really is hard to get around greater S.D. without a car, but such is the case in most of this state.

It is actually oddly appropriate, since San Diego is the only California metropolitan area that completed their freeway system as it was designed in the 60′s.

Does anyone know who is the singer and the name of the song in the commercial? Looked everywhere online with no luck.
Any one? :) Thanks!

I watched that video and threw up in my mouth a little when the narrator said “… paving the way to your next getaway …”

Aren’t there enough car commercials already?

It may look like I’m smiling to them asphalt junkies down there Sandiegoville, but it’s really a painful grimace.

I took the (gasp) train. I took a morning Surfliner from Van Nuys to San Diego’s main statio (whose name escapes me right now). I put my bike on the train, did some biking at the other end, and took an afternoon train home the next day. To make the trip even more pleasant, I paid $14 extra each way for business class.

My only complaint is that an entire Surfliner only accommodates three bikes.
