Amateur Traveler episode 494.

Today the amateur traveler talks about sun and beaches,

killer whales and Legos as we go to San Diego, California. I should be heading home, but maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler.

I'm your host, Chris Christensen.

Now let's talk about San Diego. I'm very pleased to welcome to the show Mike from

Mike's Road Trip.com who's come to talk to us about San Diego. Mike welcome to

the show. Hey thanks so much Chris it's, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks so much, Chris.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Yeah, well, it's nice to have you on the show.

Mike and I have known each other, I don't know for how long now we keep running to each other

at travel blogging conferences, but we didn't this year, I think, so it's good to talk to you.

You don't live in San Diego now, but you have in the past.
