well, that's the problem with your story right there. there is no airport in san diego. san diego doesn't actually exist. it is like the moon landing - all done on a sound stage in burbank. clever tourism professionals created the myth of san diego to fool those clever australians into thinking there was at least one good thing about america.

lol...where the hell did I fly into then? I remember getting off a plane, I remember getting on a shuttle. I remember my room at the Holiday Inn right across from the Maritime Museum...

I'm direction dyslexic and really bad at geography...maybe I was actually in Reykjavik. :blush:

you were actually picked up from John Wayne International airport and whisked away along a very well staged path to the soundstage in burbank.

Well how did they fake the ocean, then? I done seen it, I swears I did.

what's an ocean?

Walt Disney and NASA, you connect the dots.

Like the stars in that Lion King scene? We all know what we got when we connected those dots!

I'd agree, San Diego is really nice. I like that whole area really, LA south to the border. I'm pretty sure that if I could afford to live there I would, despite all the ants, fires, earthquakes, landslides, illegals etc....

You forgot the CIA and the Illuminati. They are in on it too. Oh, and the Jews too.

I picked up a real estate magazine while I was there. I found a lovely little starter home: $690,000. Yikes.

But it is beautiful. I can see why people deal with the cost of living, the ants, fires, landslides, illegals, etc!

Florida... It's humid and filled with tourists. The parts without tourists are filled with craptastic drivers (old people and/or New Yorkers [sorry, folks!]).

People have a bad impression about Detroit from the news. What you see on the news tends to be in neighborhoods where visitors never venture. (That's not to justify it in any sense, rather it's to say that visitors need not worry about being hit by stray gunfire.) It's actually not a bad place, and I say that as someone who grew up in the suburbs where it is not rare to encounter people who haven't been downtown in a decade.

psst....Florida is a State!

and welcome to the cellar......

I'm aware, but Florida still sucks.

I beg to differ. The places you visited in Florida may have sucked, but there are 10 places I can name you most likely never visited that are wonderful, have minimal tourists, and the people are all pretty nice. But hey, I am nearly a local.

Worst City: Newark, NJ followed closely by Paterson and Elizabeth, NJ.
