00:00 (soft piano music)
00:02 - Those three little words,
00:07 dear San Diego.
00:11 (upbeat music)
00:16 My name is Sam.
00:24 - And I'm Logan.
00:25 - We're high school best friends from LA and newly engaged.
00:28 We love to travel together and wanted to squeeze in
00:31 one last trip before the wedding.
00:33 And we were told San Diego is the perfect destination
00:37 for a couple's weekend getaway.
00:40 - But with so much to do in San Diego,
00:42 we didn't really know where to start.
00:44 - Fortunately, we knew the perfect couple
00:46 to point us in the right direction.
00:48 - How's it going?
00:49 - All right, so San Diego.
00:51 Tell us everything.
00:52 'Cause you guys are so different, right?
00:54 - We are.
00:55 - You're very adventurous.
00:56 - We're kind of like that too.
00:57 I wanna go kayak and he wants to lay at the spa all day.
01:00 - Right.
01:01 Well, I feel like there's so many different pockets.
01:03 Like there's something for every couple.
01:06 You can have like adventure during the day
01:10 and with a romantic dinner.
01:12 - How would you describe it to someone
01:13 who's never been here before?
01:15 - You ever met that person?
01:16 They can just go with the flow.
01:18 It can be this or that adventurous.
01:19 It can be mellow.
01:20 That's kind of like what San Diego is like.
01:22 You wanna go beach, right?
01:23 You wanna go city.
01:24 You wanna go downtown.
01:25 You wanna go North Park.
01:27 You wanna go artsy.
01:28 - Just depends like what you're feeling this weekend.
01:31 - Think a little bit of everything.
01:32 Itinerary in hand, we set off to explore the city.
01:38 Starting in La Jolla.
01:40 The seven mile stretch of coastal serenity
01:42 offers good vibes and an endless host of activities.
01:45 But what we really came for was the water.
01:49 (upbeat music)
01:52 (upbeat music)
01:54 I am sweating so much in this suit.
02:05 Logan was nervous at first.
02:10 - Yeah, the water is not my thing.
02:12 - But after a little encouragement,
02:14 we were soon on the ocean.
02:16 And oh, was it worth it?
02:21 God, this water is so refreshing.
02:22 Gotta say, you don't get that coastline in LA.
02:27 Fueled from our ocean adventure,
02:30 we stopped for a quick bite
02:32 before strapping on our hiking shoes
02:34 to tackle one of San Diego's famous hiking trails.
02:38 Come on, keep up.
02:40 Oh man.
02:42 With nearly 120 trails across San Diego County,
02:48 catering to any hiker,
02:49 you really haven't seen San Diego
02:51 until you've seen it by foot.
02:52 Almost there.
02:54 - Oh my.
03:01 - Wow.
03:02 - Feels like we're standing on the water.
03:06 - I didn't overwork you, right?
03:11 - This is so worth it.
03:12 - Well worn from the incredible hike,
03:18 we decided to rest up for the evening
03:20 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
03:23 This Mediterranean estate sits amongst the rolling hills
03:25 of the Carmel Valley,
03:27 providing luxury services and world-class accommodation
03:30 to travelers looking for a treat like ourselves.
03:33 Am I supposed to eat this whole thing like this?
03:36 - Yeah.
03:37 - Okay. - I mean,
03:38 if that's all for you.
03:39 Here's one for you.
03:40 What would you do if you could never travel?
03:47 - You'd probably combust.
03:49 - Yeah, I'd probably combust with stress
03:51 if I could never travel.
03:52 Wow, so beautiful.
03:56 After a relaxing evening,
04:01 we grabbed coffees to go
04:03 and were ready for another exciting adventure.
04:06 Got a little surprise lined up for you today.
04:07 - Oh yeah?
04:09 Does it involve walking or hiking?
04:10 (upbeat music)
04:14 (upbeat music)
04:17 - We rented bikes and began exploring Liberty Station.
04:24 This former naval training station
04:26 is now a center for history, arts, and casual dining,
04:29 and we just loved getting lost in its streets.
04:32 - But I decided to give Logan a break
04:36 and bring him somewhere more his speed.
04:44 - Logan, are you still awake over there?
04:48 - Barely awake.
04:48 - Detoxed and ready to rock,
04:53 we headed downtown to the Embarcadero
04:55 and San Diego's famous Seaport Village.
04:58 This lively waterfront destination
05:02 offers up incredible views of the city
05:04 and is host to a number of vibrant boutiques,
05:07 a true window shopper's dream.
05:09 - Whoa.
05:10 - Pretty.
05:11 - This one's so cute.
05:14 (upbeat music)
05:16 - We could've stayed here for hours,
05:20 but I had another stop in mind.
05:21 At 48 square blocks, San Diego's Little Italy
05:26 is the largest in the US,
05:28 filled with art galleries, shops, hotels,
05:30 and of course, some of the best food in town.
05:32 I'm so hungry right now, I can't wait.
05:37 - Here we go.
05:40 - Thank you so much.
05:42 - Thank you.
05:42 - Enjoy your day.
05:43 (upbeat music)
05:46 - Do you feel like traveling maybe brings you
05:50 rejuvenation when you come back home?
05:52 - Yeah, 'cause this helps me realize what's important.
05:56 - I think it's important for a relationship.
05:59 - It's a relationship.
06:01 - This is good practice for a wedding.
06:03 - Why did you choose San Diego
06:07 out of all the places we could've gone?
06:08 - The diversity and things to do.
06:11 It can really bring two different personalities,
06:13 like us, I mean, who would've thought a plumber
06:17 and a creative can both enjoy same activities
06:22 because there's so much of a balance between them.
06:24 I think San Diego is built for the type of couples
06:34 that are into exploring, and how they can become
06:36 closer with activities, food, adventure.
06:42 San Diego, it's where our love story began.
06:46 I have so many incredible memories here,
06:48 like through my 20s, now up into my 30s,
06:53 from single life to date nights with him.
06:57 - I think it just brings love.
07:00 For us, it's the aspect of love, our relationship,
07:03 nurturing it, continuing to grow our relationship.
07:07 It's not only a great place to fall in love with,
07:10 it's amazing, but it is the best place to fall in love in.
07:15 - Aw.
07:17 (dramatic music)
07:20 (gentle music)
07:23 (gentle music)
07:25 (bright music)
07:28 (upbeat music)
