What is a good affordable place to travel to?

What is a good city to travel to in the usa , somewhere a little romantic,not too expensive . i am planning to go somwhere by myself , a little getaway from the family .What is a good affordable place to travel to?San Diego is one of the nicest cities in the country. It's a major tourist destination and they know how to treat visitors right. Due to the economic downturn, hotels are offering great deals right now.



Some must see attractions are the world famous Zoo, Sea World, and Balboa Park. Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the country. You can get a park passport which allows you entry to a dozen museums as well as the zoo.

La Jolla offers great views, great food, and shopping.

Check out the surfers at historic Winansea Beach. At low tide you can walk out onto the tide pools. Walk along the Cove and check out the caves. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Take a stroll on Prospect St and check out the shops, galleries, and have some authentic Mexican food and Alfonso's. Then head to the Birch Aquarium at The Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It has a spectacular view of the bluffs over the Pacific Ocean.
