The following day was our final, and we made positive to make it rely as a lot because the earlier two days. We headed out early to the San Diego Zoo for an unique expertise.

After our tour, we headed to the enduring Mediterranean restaurant Callie for a cocktail reception and dinner. Whereas there, we loved superb cocktails and delicacies that mixes the various flavors of the Mediterranean, from Italy to the Center East, into fascinating and scrumptious dishes.

Outdated-world decor and golden, shining oak are in full view irrespective of the place you look, and your complete vibe is one which feels so heat and welcoming. We loved a number of cocktails. Absorbing the vibe and the dialog earlier than heading again to the resort for our remaining evening.

I departed the following day, and though the journey is over, I’m already planning for an additional as quickly as potential.
