Begin your journey in San Diego and discover the waterfront, Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado Island and the San Diego Harbor. Visit the USS Midway Museum for a captivating tribute to the United States’ rich naval history and the awe-inspiring ship that was in service from 1945 to 1992. This museum offers a unique glimpse into the past as you explore the inner workings of a floating city at sea. No trip to San Diego is complete without one of the city’s must-see attractions – the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. Situated in Balboa Park, this sprawling 100-acre zoo is home to over 3,700 animals from around the globe. During your visit, enjoy an open-air double-decker bus tour around the massive and iconic zoo.

As you continue your Southern California vacation, head east to the desert city of Palm Springs. Surrounded by the San Jacinto Mountains, this desert oasis is known for its luxurious resorts, hot springs and vibrant arts scene. View celebrity homes once owned by legendary stars such as Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Hope and more. Also enjoy the flavors and scenery of Temecula Valley Wine Country, located just north of San Diego and boasting over 40 award-winning wineries. Toward the end of your trip, board the Pacific Surfliner Train for breathtaking coastal views. The rail journey travels from downtown San Diego north to San Juan Capistrano where you will stop to explore the historic 18th-century Mission San Juan Capistrano, the “Jewel of the California Missions.” Then travel back to San Diego along famous beaches and the Torrey Pines Golf Course with a stop in picturesque La Jolla, “the gem of San Diego.”
