16 reasons to fly to San Diego, here's one...

We love New York City in the fall. Chicago in the Spring. San Francisco in the Summer. But during winter? Not so much. We are spoiled in sunny Southern California. From Coronado to Encinitas, La Jolla to Carlsbad, here we sit in our shorts and sandals. Maybe a little boogie boarding or a picnic on the beach this weekend. Perhaps a jog on the sand before heading to work. Why, some of us will just ride our bicycle into work…you get the picture.

As you add another layer to your ensemble, don’t think we don’t care. We do! We want you to come visit us. Heck, why not just move here? Whatever your options, we are here to save your cold day by passing on this smoking hot deal courtesy of our friends at Southwest Airlines!
