Kevin,<BR><BR>The water is cool here in November, but I am originally from the East Coast, and the water there is colder! <BR><BR>As for any other suggestions, the zoo is great for kids and adults alike. Wild Animal Park is fun because it is different. You can take a monorail ride across the plains of Africa or Asia and see animals as they live in the wild. I think you can actually get a pass that will admit you to both the zoo and Wild Animal Park for one price - they sell it at either park.<BR><BR>Also, don't know if you're interested, but the Disney California Adventure Park is having a special for 2 days for $49 for adults and $39 for kids through December - the park is in Anaheim, next to Disneyland.<BR><BR>Eileen

Eileen and Kevin, I believe the Disney special pass is for S. California residents only.

Hyatt at La Jolla has a great rate of about $82 under internet specials on hyatt.com.

Jane - You may want to make a reservation at a place and then that evening, call again. We stayed at the Best Western there and although our reservation was quoted for $119 a night (non-ocean-view), we called right before we walked in the door and was quoted a "manager's special" for only $89 a night. When we decided to stay another night (not reserved), they moved us across the hall into an ocean-view room at the same price ($100 savings!). We like the Best Western alot. Close to shops and restaurants and of course, the ocean-view room was great. The management and service were good too!
