Did you know that California's second largest city sees, on average, nearly 36 million visitors every year? As a matter of fact, it’s considered one of the top travel destinations in the states. So what’s bringing all of these people to San Diego each year? Perhaps it’s the warm weather, or maybe the beautiful beaches.

    Do visit my website, http://www.travelonthelevel.com/html. It's designed for anyone who needs or wants to travel with less strenuous walking and fewer stairs. I developed it after 10+ years as a travel writer hobbling around on deteriorating knees, now wonderfully replaced.
