16-day free travel in California, USA

🌅 Day 9: Las Vegas ➡ San Diego Take the vibrant Spirit Airlines. At 7:30 in the morning, I carried my backpack and walked along the Las Vegas Strip to wait for the RTC bus to the airport. The streets were quiet, with only morning joggers and cleaners. After last night's revelry, the city is slowly waking up. At this time, a cup of Starbucks latte ($5.99) + croissant ($3.95) has become a small blessing for travelers, especially in Las Vegas, which makes people feel surprisingly cheap! ☀️ Arrived in the beautiful city of Southern California: San Diego As soon as I got off the airport, the warm sun and fresh sea breeze of Southern California hit me in the face, and my mood was immediately healed. This trip will stay in the famous Gaslamp Quarter - a once-hot red-light district, but under the government's promotion, it has been revived as a historically preserved and vibrant commercial and entertainment district. 📍 Must-visit attractions Las Vegas Airport: The Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum hidden in the airport displays aircraft and historical photos from the Second World War, which is a small surprise for aviation fans. San Diego Airport: With its exquisite design, you can feel the sunshine and coastal atmosphere as soon as you exit the station. It is a great transition point for traveling in the western United States. Gaslamp Quarter: 16.5 blocks, 94 Victorian buildings, nightlife and history coexist. You can eat while watching cabaret performances, or stroll and enjoy the retro gas lamps. San Diego Convention Center: Just a few blocks away, it attracts large-scale events such as Comic‑Con and music festivals every year. Embarcadero Marina Park South: Strolling on the seaside grass and looking at the Coronado Bridge in the distance, it is a good place to take pictures and relax. San Diego Public Library: The central branch has a stylish design and a comfortable interior space. It is very suitable for replenishing energy and writing travel diaries in the afternoon. 🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Gaslamp Hostel San Diego Located in the center of Gaslamp Street, it is within walking distance to restaurants, nightclubs and bus stations. It is more lively than hotels and affordable, making it the first choice for young travelers. ✨ Travel Highlights Quick Notes From the early morning on the street corner of Las Vegas to the historical magic city of San Diego, this day has gone through a huge contrast in the rhythm of the city: a sleeping gambling city, a city full of retro charm and modern art. The little happiness of Starbucks, the enthusiasm in the Gaslamp District at night, the island sunshine and the park breeze...all these make the journey more profound and more worth savoring. #Las Vegas #Spirit Airlines #Las Vegas to San Diego #Airport Coffee #Morning Travel #Gaslamp Quarter #GaslampQuarter #Historic District #Victorian Architecture #Nightlife #SanDiego #ConventionCenter #EmbarcaderoPark #SDLibrary #Accommodation Recommendation #GaslampHostel #City Comparison #Cultural Travel #Coastal Walk #ComicCon #Travel Sharing #Social Check-in #Southern California Style #West Coast Travel #RedLightDistrict #City Rebirth #HistoricDistrict #Travel Diary #West Coast Park #Sunshine Travel #Leisure and Slow Life #City Stroll
