During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Cabrillo National Monument
Breathtaking views mingle with the early history of San Diego, which began when Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo arrived in 1542. His statue dominates the tip of Point Loma, 422 feet above sea level, which is also a vantage point for watching migrating Pacific gray whales en route from the Arctic Ocean to Baja California December through March. A self-guided tour of the restored lighthouse (1855) illuminates what life was like here more than a century ago (fog and low clouds made the lighthouse ineffective so another was built close to the water in 1891). National Park Service rangers lead walks at the monument, and there are tide pools to explore at the base of the peninsula. On the other side of the point is the Bayside Trail, a 3.2-mile round-trip down to a lookout over the bay. Free 30-minute videos and slide shows on Cabrillo, tide pools, and the whales are shown on the hour daily from 10am to 4pm. Note the view from the visitor center to the left (north); the blocky structure on the water is the navy's nuclear submarine base. The drive from downtown takes about a half-hour.

Maritime Museum
his unique museum consists of a quartet of classic ships, led by the full-rigged merchant vessel Star of India (1863), whose impressive masts are an integral part of the San Diego cityscape. The ship is a National Historic Landmark and the world's oldest ship that still goes to sea; in her day, the Star sailed around the globe 21 times, and carried salmon fishermen to Alaska and British emigrants to New Zealand. The gleaming white San Francisco-Oakland steam-powered ferry Berkeley (1898), worked round-the-clock to carry people to safety following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake; you'll find a museum with fine ship models on display. There's also the elegant Medea (1904), one of the world's few remaining large steam yachts, and Pilot (1914), which was San Diego Bay's official pilot boat for 82 years. You can board and tour each vessel; allow an hour for your visit.A new addition to the collection is the Californian, a 130-foot replica of the 1848 cutter C.W. Lawrence; the majestic ship is used for day and weekend sails. In July and August you can watch movies aboard the Star of India.

San Diego Natural History Museum
This museum focuses on the flora, fauna, and mineralogy of Southern and Baja California. Kids marvel at the animals they find here, including live snakes, tarantulas, and turtles. As a binational museum, research is done on both sides of the border and most exhibits are bilingual. You can see them all in about half an hour. Call or check the museum's website for a current schedule of special visiting exhibits. There's a 300-seat large-format movie theater, and two films are included in the price of admission.

Harbor Vacations Club
Here's an unusual opportunity to sleep on the water in your own power yacht, sailboat, or "floating villa" (also known as a houseboat). You fall asleep to the gentle lapping of waves and awaken to the call of seagulls. The vessels are docked in a recreational marina on Harbor Island, near the airport and close to downtown. Just when I was about to question the operation's manager about how limited the clientele might be, in walked a Dallas businessman (visiting San Diego for a convention) who extolled without solicitation the pleasure of his unique lodging -- "I'll be staying here again," he said.The four 32- to 55-foot floating villas average 650 square feet, sleep four or five persons, and feel like modern condos, with their own laundry facilities, comfortable furnishings, multiple TVs and VCR, direct-dial phones, a stereo, and many other comforts, including a balcony and sun deck. Four well-kept power yachts have two staterooms, two heads, a full galley, and stereo system. Serious sailors may prefer to sleep on one of three sailboats. They range in length from 22 feet to 30 feet and are best suited for one couple. If showering on board any of the boats is too cramped for you, guests have the use of full restrooms at the marina headquarters, as well as the swimming pool there. There are five restaurants within walking distance. For an additional charge you can even charter a private cruise aboard your "room" ($125-$495 for a 3- to 4-hr. cruise, plus $45/hr. for a skipper). Formerly known as San Diego Yacht and Breakfast, the company is now part of time-share operation Shell Vacations Club. Note: Not ideal for guests with limited mobility.

Glorietta Bay Inn
Right across the street and somewhat in the (figurative) shadow of the Hotel Del, this pretty white hotel consists of the charmingly historic John D. Spreckels mansion (1908) and several younger, motel-style buildings. Only 11 rooms are in the mansion, which boasts original fixtures, a grand staircase, and old-fashioned wicker furniture; the guest rooms are also decked out in antiques, and have a romantic and nostalgic ambience.Rooms and suites in the 1950s annexes are much less expensive but were upgraded from motel-plain to better match the main house's classy ambience (though lacking the mansion's superluxe featherbeds); some have kitchenettes and marina views. The least expensive units are small and have parking-lot views. Wherever your room is, you'll enjoy the inn's trademark personalized service, including extra-helpful staffers who remember your name and happily offer dining and sightseeing recommendations or arrange tee times; special attention to return guests and families with toddlers; and a friendly continental breakfast. In addition to offering bikes and boat rentals on Glorietta Bay across the street, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach, golf, tennis, watersports, shopping, and dining. Rooms in the mansion are booked early, but are worth the extra effort and expense.

Balboa Park Inn
Insiders looking for unusual accommodations head straight for this small pink inn at the northern edge of Balboa Park. It's a cluster of four Spanish colonial-style former apartment buildings in a mostly residential neighborhood a half-mile east of Hillcrest proper. The hotel is popular with gay travelers drawn to Hillcrest's restaurants and clubs, but note that all of these are at least 4 blocks away. All the rooms and standard suites are tastefully decorated; the specialty suites, however, are over-the-top. There's the "Tara Suite," as in Gone With the Wind; the "Nouveau Ritz," which employs every Art Deco cliché, including mirrors and Hollywood lighting; and the "Greystoke" suite, a jumble of jungle, safari, and tropical themes with a completely mirrored bathroom and Jacuzzi tub. Seven of the rooms have Jacuzzi rubs, and most have kitchens -- all have a private entrance, though the front desk operates 24-hours. From here, you're close enough to walk to the San Diego Zoo and other Balboa Park attractions.
