Today, two meals in San Diego. We rarely go out for meals when we travel because the Marriott hotels we generally stay in usually offer us free breakfast and sufficient snacks at the end of the day cocktail period. However, the San Diego Marriott Marquis offer neither on Saturdays and Sundays.
We were invited to join cousins for dinner at Callie.

Something is wrong with the taxi service in San Diego. Checked with Google AI.
Some taxi services in San Diego are considered shady due to issues like overcharging, taking unnecessarily long routes, and drivers being rude or refusing valid payment methods. To avoid problems, it is recommended to confirm the fare and payment options beforehand, agree on a price before starting the trip, ask for a receipt, and trust your instincts if a driver or service seems suspicious.
The taxi we caught from the airport to the Marriott Marquis had a meter that did not work, so he wanted to overcharge us. Just gave him what we thought was about right. Then after dinner, several calls were made by the restaurant, but one never came.
We had some Cheesecake Factory coupons, so went there for lunch yesterday. One reason was that we could walk there.
