Centennial of Naval Aviation Kick Off San Diego

[flyboy]

I'm flying out to SD to attend the North Island open house on Feb. 12. I was in SO CAL like 20 years ago with family but I was 6 and don't remember very much. I wanted to know if staying downtown (Embassy Suites) would allow me to stagger home Friday and Saturday night from whichever bar you guys recommend. It seems like PB is the recommended spot on the weekends and some also say that gaslamp district is fun but pricey. Any specific places to drink and check out the local women? I'll be there from Friday till Sunday. Trying to take a short weekend trip from reality and check out the celebration of my soon to be career.

Downtown hotels are certainly stumbling distance from gaslamp........more like taxi distance from PB or MB. Google SD and I'm sure you can figure out where the good locations are. Coronado, where I assume the displays will originate from, is also a bit distant by foot or car from downtown, so you would need a taxi back from there as well. As far as women, it's SD.....so pretty much anywhere, though all the places you mentioned have them in droves.

You'd need to cab it from PB to downtown.

If you want drunk college girls in jeans, tank tops, and flip fops, go to PB. If you want drunk college girls in skirts or jeans and fancy shirts, and heels, go downtown/Gaslamp. (And in Downtown, just as the girls' outfits cost more, so will the drinks.)

(And in Downtown, just as the girls' outfits cost more, so will the cost of getting the oufits off the girls.)

Fixed it for you.

I'll have a rental car to get around, but a DUI would definitely screw up my future plans so I'll have to cab it. I think PB is more my style considering I'll be going by myself. Probably just find some surfer bar and try that buying drinks to take off clothing items suggestion. I thought the open house was more of an airshow but I guess it'll just be a flyover with an appearance by the Blues. After 18 inches of snow last night and blizzard conditions today...I'm ready for the beach!

Understatement of the millennium.

Understatement of the millennium.

Trust me....a $20 cab ride is completely worth it! I've seen the devastation of people getting DUI's living in a college town with people who AREN'T going to flight school. I can't imagine what it would do to a pilots career.

A $2000 cab ride would be worth it.

And yes, you can imagine what a DUI would do to a pilot's career...or any military member's career, for that matter. There is a "one strike" policy within the DoD for DUIs, and with the upcoming "rightsizing" (euphemism of the year) of the military, DUIs make it easy to trim unwanted manpower fat.

Alright, back to the Centennial thread.

Anything else fun to do in San Diego besides stare at the little college girls in short skirts and tank tops? I think Sea World still gives military a free pass.

What else would you RATHER be doing? Just sayin...

If you want to play tourist, the zoo is also free to AD military.

I highly recommend eating Mexican food at various cheap Mexican restaurants. I miss San Diego. :cry

The Marina Marriott is nice...2 blocks from downtown, when you bring a lady there, I'm sure she might like the balcony. The Coronado Marriott is good too. There's a pretty hot blonde russian rickshaw driver who'll save you a $2000 cab ride and a DUI. PB Bar&Grill is a good place to get some good eye candy. Dude, it's San Diego...hotties everywhere. You really can't go wrong. Besides, wherever you go, just get a military rate and fill out the tax exempt form when you check in. Enjoy.

Otto...I will get my fix of the women for the days I am there. I was just trying to expand my thinking process beyond the slutty SD girls, but I don't think its working.

I've always wondered about job safety for those rickshaw chicks.....most of them are pretty good looking, and you have to imagine that they have to go to some pretty out of the way places late at night with drunk stupid dudes

Doing more than just staring... silly question.
