Visiting San Diego, California
Lodging
February and early March are the slowest months in San Diego for tourism, so lodging rates are lower than other times of the year. Check out AirBnB to view rentals. Closest lodging is in zip code: 92109.
The Dana On Mission Bay (conference/workshop venue) is one mile from Mission Beach and is walk able with sidewalks.
There are hotels in Mission Valley near the venue, however, there are two busy interstates merging in that area, so traffic can get heavy during the work week, Monday-Friday and is not a walk able area.
If you have a vehicle, or are renting one, there will be less expensive lodging options in nearby cities of Lemon Grove, La Mesa, National City, and Chula Vista- all within a 15 minute drive from the conference venue.
Yes! There are plenty of hostels: Hostels In San Diego
Getting Around
San Diego has fantastic weather but isn’t quite transportation friendly. You can either rent a car, take a cab, or use one of the many driving services, such as Uber or Lyft. Our bus system can be quite slow, so make note of that if you plan to use the bus.
If you like to get around and explore, but don't want to rent a vehicle, the trolley system does stop at most of the tourist destinations including downtown, the Gaslamp, Seaport Village, Old Town and Little Italy. San Diego Trolley Info.
The trolley doesn't stop at Balboa Park (where all the museums are), San Diego Zoo, Sea World or most beaches*. To visit those places, you will need to take a bus, cab, LYFT, or UBER to and from trolley stops or from your lodging.
*Mission beach is one mile walking distance from the venue.
Weather and What To Wear
San Diego is famous for its mild Mediterranean desert climate. The state of California has the most micro-climates of anywhere in North America, so be prepared for as much as 10 degree temperature changes within as little as 10 miles.
During the month of February and into early March, temperatures range from 50-70F or 10-21C. While the rest of the U.S. and Canada is thawing out or still under snow- the weather is great here!
Since the temperatures can fluctuate in one day, dressing in layers is recommended. Winter is our "rainy" season, so bring a light rain jacket just in case. If it does rain, it's usually a light drizzle.
Don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen as our sun can be unusually bright and the UV index can get high.
