San Diego, Cal
 

What to do for 2 weeks in early Sept in San Diego?
Must use transportation because of Balance Problems.
Good Restaurants to eat at especially Thai and Italian?
Is the Residence Inn Downtown/Gaslamp a good place to stay?
Any info would be appreciated.

The hotel location is excellent. Lots of hotels, shops, restaurants and bars in the vicinity, along with Petco Park (where the Padres play baseball).

Just returned from a week in SD.

Don't know about Thai, but for Italian I can highly recommend Cucina Urabana in the Banker's Hill neighborhood which is not too far from Downtown. You can walk over to Balboa Park for a nice after dinner stroll.

That's Cucina Urbana, not Urabana.

We ate here in May; we had a nice lunch:http://www.royalthaicuisine.com/

For our first trip, I used this guide - it was very helpful:

We also ate at a very good Italian place - Davanti.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a San Diego experience- I thought the Gaslamp was fine for an evening but I would much rather be in one of the N County towns- I love Carlsbad- but would be happy staying in Solana Beach, Del Mar, La Jolla or any of the beach towns- and San Diego is quite accessible from most of the beach towns by using the train- the Coaster. ( train does not stop in La Jolla - can't remember if it stops in Del Mar)

If you decide to stay in the Gaslamp, at least make a trip up the coast- you can go as far as Oceanside on the Coaster.
