WHY GO Most Americans work all year for a two-week vacation. San Diegans will tell you they work all week for a two-day vacation. And its easy to see why. With top-notch beaches, parks, museums and nightlife immediately accessible, packing a holiday into 48 hours is a breeze.

This tour is living history at its best, with engaging first-person accounts on the audio tour through the engine room, brig and tiny compartments. Hoist yourself up the Island Superstructure towering over the 4-acre flight deck and imagine the captain and flight control choreographing a high-stakes ballet of fighter jets, helicopters and 1000 crew on a 69,000 ton ship heaving atop the sea.

Sightlines into Petco Park are so good from Picture 4Altitude Skybar at the Gaslamp Marriott that youd hardly blink if a well-spun homer dropped into your beer. Fire pits, sleek couches and burly bouncers exude LA cool, though an easy-going crowd keeps pretension at bay. But times they are a changing in the 16-block Picture 5Gaslamp Quarter, with rapid-fire openings of boutique hotels and velvet-rope clubs marking a second, youthful wave of gentrification, which is amping the weekend intensity in this former red-light district. Voted 2008s Best Seafood Restaurant by San Diego Magazine in three polls, swanky Picture 6Oceanaire Seafood Room is a cherished Gaslamp gathering spot cruising in luxury-liner style. Lawyers and bankers from downtown towers chatter elbow-to-elbow at the oyster bar, or move to red booths while nibbling on ultra fresh halibut, snapper and mahimahi prepared with seasonal flair.

If youd like a room with a stripper pole at new-but-naughty Picture 11Ivy Hotel, just ask. This adult playground spins a loud, Vegas-party vibe, especially on weekends, and its already hosted A-listers from Brad Pitt to Eric Clapton. Of Ivys three nightclubs, firepit-and-cabana dotted Picture 12Eden San Diegos largest rooftop bar draws the most ogles from nearby condo dwellers enjoying Rear Window-esque views of the action. Dont ask for a mint after breakfast at Picture 13Hash House a Go Go, back in Hillcrest. With its heaping skillets of hash, massive flapjacks and hearty gourmet scrambles, a wafer-thin mint could push you over the edge. Walk it off on bamboo-lined pathways at the new, 3-acre Monkey Trails & Forest Tales inside Balboa Parks sprawling Picture 14San Diego Zoo. Conservation-minded signs dot multilevel walkways, where face-to-face encounters beware the gremlinlike mug of the Wolfs guenon arent uncommon. Oohs and ahhhs mark the always-popular Polar Bear Plunge, Panda Discovery Center and Koala Exhibit and the 35-minute tour on the double-decker Express Shuttle provides an efficient orientation for first timers.

The lobster BLT at C-Level Lounge (880 Harbor Island Dr) is so good youd step on your mothers face to get to it. Its a BLT made with lobster, bacon and avocados, and comes with a little cup of lobster bisque to dunk it in. Its just amazing. Get it with Deborahs mai tai. C-Level is on Harbor Island and it has panoramic views of downtown.

Spanish-Colonial pavilions add a dash of romantic flair to an afternoon of museum hopping in Picture 16Balboa Park, a 1200-acre urban retreat home to gardens, theaters, 15 museums, the zoo and a very large outdoor organ. For sheer density of Old Masters, drop by the Picture 17Timken Museum of Art, where the impressive Putnam collection includes works by Rembrandt, Rubens and Czanne. Theres always something intriguing at the white-walled Picture 18Museum of Photographic Arts: from 1850s daguerreotypes to MRI images, exhibits embrace photography in all its forms.

Give that tan a workout with a short drive west from Balboa Park on I-8 toward the citys main beaches, an introduction to which best starts with the fish taco, the citys most famous contribution to Americas culinary lexicon. While the foundation never varies a soft tortilla topped with fish, salsa, cabbage and special sauce every beach bum has a favorite based on taste, location and sometimes affordability. With one exception. The fish tacos at fun-lovin Picture 19
