Hotel Del Coronado; Coronado, California Places Visited: Joyce & Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California across the bay from San Diego
When the trolley got to Coronado we jumped off for lunch and to tour Hotel Del Coronado one of the landmarks not to be missed when visiting San Diego and Coronado. This famous hotel is not only noteworthy for its architecture and landscaping but the setting which has been utilized in numerous movies and TV shows.

That is the Pacific Ocean in the background as seen from a deck at the Hotel Del Coronado. We did lunch down the street at McP's Irish Pub the hang out for Navy Seals who train just down the road. View of and from the San Diego to Coronado bridge across San Diego Bay
Getting to Coronado from San Diego involves a wonderful ride over the Coronado Bridge. Actually one of the "must-do" things in San Diego is this very high sweeping bridge. Joyce took this picture as we were leaving Coronado so you can see San Diego as well as the bridge curving around and dropping into San Diego. While touring the older downtown area of San Diego our docent pointed out where Wyatt Earp (of Tombstone, Arizona & OK Corral fame) had a gambling saloon in the early days of San Diego. Wyatt moved to Alaska for the big gold rush there before returning to Los Angeles where he advised the early movie makers on "wild-west" matters. Also not far from there we stopped to view the steep hill where Tom Cruise jumped on his motorcycle and sped away. Remember him getting air on that hill while Kelly (forget her last name) chased him in her porche (at least I think it was a porche) in the movie Top Gun. Then the trolley passed by Kansas City BBQ. This is the place made famous by Goose when he attacked the piano banging out his famous rendition of Great Balls of Fire. I think we all remember those scenes. That movie was shot over 20-years ago according to our docent. My how time flies, it seems like yesterday.
