Good morning from Chula Vista, CA. We’re parked at Sun Outdoors RV Resort on the southeast corner of San Diego Bay. This is a beautiful resort. Purpose built by Sun Outdoors and opened in 2021, the resort features nearly 200 RV sites, both back-in and pull-through and 50 rental cottages. Amenities include a beautiful swimming pool/hot tub area that overlooks San Diego Bay, a café/bar, sports areas including Bocca Ball, Cornhole, a Playground and of course Pickleball. There’s even meeting/event space, and an indoor/outdoor fitness center. Individual sites provide full hookups including cable TV, 4 Adirondack chairs around a firepit, a picnic table and access to park WiFi. Basic WiFi service provides about 3 Mb down and 1Mb upload. Premium WiFi is also available for 2 devices at $5.95/day or $14.95/week or a Family Plan supporting 4 devices and HD Video streaming at $7.95/day or $19.95/week.

We’re parked in site #135, a back-in towards the rear of the property and near the café/bar and pool. Traffic noise from I-5 is noticeable, especially at night as well as the every 15 minute clanging of the train crossing on E-Street. Sites 15-20 offer the best views across the water toward downtown San Diego, but probably still suffer from the neighborhood noise.

From the resort we’re about 15 minutes to downtown San Diego and 25 minutes from the San Diego Airport and only about 12 minutes from the Mexican border at Tijuana. With the continuing flow of the onshore atmospheric river, it’s a great excuse to stay near the resort and in, out of the rain. Just a few miles south is the Chula Vista Marina, home to The Galley. A typical “yachty” type restaurant, they offer great daily happy hour and dinner specials. On Thursday we enjoyed their unlimited Fish & Chips – quite tasty!

With the rain finally starting to subside on Saturday we hopped on the San Diego light rail for a trip into old town. For $2.50 each way the trolley services much of the city, and on the blue line, all the way south to the Mexican border. It’s about 15 stops and 50 minutes to reach the Old Town station. Here we wandered among the shops and enjoyed great margaritas and appetizers at Café Coyote.

On Sunday we’re headed back to Arizona, to Cocopah Bend RV and Golf Resort. More from Yuma…
