Is San Diego really that big of a European destination? I mean I kinda understand LA with Hollywood and all, but lets be honest LA and SD are not that different on a 1 week vacation and there is alot more there to visit. (disneyland, Ustudios, Venice Beach, etc etc.)

Why not go to the south of spain or portigal, or France or Greece or Italy if you are looking for weather? Why fly half way across the world for the same thing? (I have been in all of the above persoally, it isnt that different weather wise. Culturally sure, but not weather.)

And for those that do take the 12 hour flight here, and all the trouble of connections and passports and such, do they really want to be in a studio in a so so building?
(I am just thinking out loud here)
