You'll be in a nice part of CA, of course they have a base further down south in San Diego where my brother was stationed and most people like it, starts with a "C" but the name escapes me. The bar scene may be a bit more pricey because of the state itself but you should still be able to have a great time. I hope you like Mexican food, seafood and...now I'm just making myself hungry and I don't have any luck.
