San Diego is still $80 a night for Super 8 at Sea World.

*sighs* Well, there goes one night away from home - at least.

Wonder if Solvang is anywhere as expensive as this?

Have you been to Solvang? It defines "tourist trap," but if that's what you're looking for, fire away!

Seconded. It's cute, and I recommend the restaurants there.

I'm actually Danish, which helps.

The downside is that it doesn't have the Zoos and Balboa Park that we wanted to spend some less-rushed time exploring.

But holy merde, the cost of just sleeping there bothers me. BOTHERS ME.

Don't sleep there. Sleep in Santa Maria. It's not a long drive and the motels will be much cheaper.

San Diego, dear. San Diego - the costs there bother me. Big time.

(Can you say corrupt military town? Knew you could....)

There's always Anime LA. *wry*

Van Nuys isn't that far.

Probably. But what an experience, Solvang!

Try SLO

Go up the road to San Luis Obispo, find a nice town, go to Morro Bay for a time, take a hike in Montana de Oro. Santa Maria isn't bad either. Stay at the Motel 6 in Buellton for reasonable prices. That is where I stay, and they have data ports if you have a laptop.

My guess is that it's high season in Solvang right now. But if you can find a good deal, maybe go for Santa Barbara/Montecito (The rates should be lower in Feb). There's no Balboa park, but the botanic gardens are wonderful. Never been to the zoo, so I can't say.

Good luck.
