San Diego - where to go along the way?

[Neoxphuse]

Hi guys,

I want to take a ride down south to San Diego, not sure if I'll drive down there or not. Anybody know the travel time? Can anybody recommend any stops/tourist destinations along the way? Best hotels/motels, etc to stay at while I'm down there and any good restaurants/beaches? I've never been past Seattle, so it would be nice to stop by a few places and check some stuff out.

I'll probably take the scenic route. Any advice would be great.

im headed down to Diego in the summer

so i was checking out some sites to see

i wont be driving so no help about the route down there


So in Diego; Balboa Park seems to be a major attraction and there's lots of museums in there check out this website

and of course the San Diego Zoo

Im also really into movies/theatres so Im hoping to find a really nice theatre down there to check out a movie; hopefully one of those theatres with luxury seating couple with d-box + dinner (haven't found one with all those features in 1 though)

i'm planning to stay in SD for 3 months...does anyone know any recommendation of where to stay? temporary apartment rental, room shared, etc etc? most of the places have long term rental. its seem to hard to find temporary rental. i have friends that stay in SD but most of them are really busy + they dont have a room for me to stay in.
help would be great. thanks!
