Yes, the restaurants in San Diego are world-class. Casa de Bandini was always one of our favorites. It used to be located in an authentic old hacienda in Old Town, the food and atmosphere (and HUGE Margaritas!) were phenomenal. They lost their lease on their location about four years ago and it has taken them until last Spring to find the perfect place to reopen. They are now in a new location in Carlsbad just a few miles north of San Diego and about a mile and a half from my brother-in-law’s house. We were pleased to find their food and service and atmosphere just as good as it has always been.
Next time we go down there we will camp on the bluffs overlooking the ocean. There are no “hook-ups”, it’s dry camping, but with a generator we will have all the comforts of home and a beautiful view of the ocean from our window. Can’t afford to buy that real estate, but we can borrow it for a few days. ;-)
