Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting San Diego for the first time from India with my family(wife and a three year old) and I wanted to get some local advice before the trip. This is also our first trip to the States.

Would love to know:

1. Things tourists should definitely do
2. Common mistakes to avoid
3. Areas to stay away from
4. Local etiquette/tipping culture
5. Public transport vs Uber
6. Food spots we absolutely shouldn’t miss
7. Any scams/tourist traps to avoid
8. Tips for beaches, weather, parking, safety, etc.

Would really appreciate advice from locals or people who’ve visited recently. Thanks in advance!
