Where are you going on vacation this year? Have you thought about it? I have! I have thought about it almost every day. I would love to go to Hawaii, but the budget isn’t quite ready for that. I would love to head to other spots (Florida Keys, New Orleans, New York or Mexico) but the thought of dealing with the lines for airline security plus the amount of flying time, just doesn’t appeal to me too much.
I thought about various #almostlocal places I could go and came up with one that is only a couple of hours away and the traffic is bearable!-San Diego! I know the area well enough since I used to attend company meetings down there often!
Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina (www.SanDiegoMarquis.com) would be the perfect place for any get-away AKA Staycation to chill out and play. If you’re not familiar with the hotel, allow me to illustrate and inform you about this full-service resort with its very own marina right on the bay! It’s a short walking distance from the Gaslamp Quarter and the Convention Center (think Comic-Con). This hotel played host to many Comic-con events this past weekend! With award-winning restaurants, fitness centers, swimming pools, water sports and an on-site spa, you almost never need to leave the property.
View of the Marquis San Diego Marina from across the bay! It’s a stunning hotel!
Bonus; They also just launched a honey beer—using their very own bees—in collaboration with Mother Earth Brewing, which guests can sample on arrival!

The Marquis is an immense hotel with tons of space to be able to have meetings or just find a quiet nook to chill out. It’s close to various shopping areas and if you want to venture out a bit further, the drive is typically pretty short.
