    A San Diego Getaway doesn't always mean leaving town, because San Diego is a resort getaway for 34 million out-of-towners a year. So the question is getting away to where and  why? More specifically for locals it's getting away to seaside cities and suburbs within fabulous San Diego or venturing to nearby regions such as Baja California's coastal regions or traveling north to romantic getaways an hour away such as Santa Catalina Island, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Monica or Westwood. Or if it's a big change of climate it's a getaway to nearby Las Vegas. The point is that if 34 million people flock to this mecca of resort towns, why go anywhere else. So featured here are great backyard destinations that people travel half way on the world to enjoy such as the world famous Hotel Del Coronado. Plus, there are exclusive insider destinations that few residents of San Diego have ever heard of such as La Casa del Zorro in Borrego Springs or Rancho Valencia a tennis resort frequented by the rich and famous in Rancho Santa Fe. So whether you are a local looking for a romantic getaway or an out-of-towner looking for a wonderful place to stay, these recommendations have been personally researched. This brings in play the importance of not only where to stay but what to do in the city or suburb where the hotel is located. Thus the benefit of reading the suburb and city chapters with special maps identifying what to see and do. We have enjoyed creating these special excursions for your enjoyment.
