I am a Clinical Psychologist, UCLA trained, living and practicing in San Diego since 1982. I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many interesting people from all over the world, as a host and also as a traveler. I have lectured in South Africa, recruited students in India, climbed Machu Pichu, been lost in the Honduran jungles, sailed in Costa Rica, and partied in Spain, Italy and France. It's always fascinating to see how the people live and to share experiences. But there is nothing quite as peaceful as waking up to see the surfers, and then sipping coffee or tea from the private patio of my beachfront condo.
My favorite thing to do is walk on the sand 1 1/2 miles to Loews resort, rent bikes to the Hotel Del for lunch and shopping before coming back in time for a beautiful sunset right on the patio. Though the kitchen if fully stocked, I enjoy the convenience of ordering from the restaurant downstairs in the building. They often have live entertainment there, or in the Sea180 restaurant in the Marriott Hotel across the park.
