This week, Eye on Travel broadcasts from the Omni San Diego Hotel in San Diego, California. Joining Peter is Colin Stowell, Fire Chief for San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, on California’s recent wildfires and responding to emergencies in a community that comprises 550 miles. Troy Johnson, Editor-at-large for San Diego Magazine, on the changing nature of restaurant design, the boom in Din Tai Fung places and whether or not the custom of tipping will survive at many restaurants. We’ll discuss well-known attractions, like the San Diego Zoo — the zoo’s Rick Schwartz talks about its mission to educate visitors and how it has designed its exhibits and the accessibility to animals to inspire us to think about — and act on — climate change and conservation. And then we’ll reveal a museum you’ve never heard about but need to experience– the Marine Corps Recruit Depot museum. Plus Maritime Historian Peter Knego, on his huge (and growing) collection of artifacts and historical pieces he’s collected from shipyards around the world. His entire house is an overflowing museum of ocean liner and cruise ship items including a particularly colorful one from….The Love Boat. There’s all this and more as Eye on Travel broadcasts from the Omni San Diego Hotel in San Diego, California.
