Trying to take the train from LA to Camp Pendleton this weekend to see boyfriend. Anyone ever taken that ride? How's it like?

I live in La Jolla but I had a friend come visit me from L.A. and I know he took the train. I think it was like three hours and he said he really enjoyed the view but that was it. He also said water is like $3 for a regular bottle. I've never taken it so I can't say but I want to one day.

thanks. excited to see the pacific ocean view too. will take my homework with me in the train and try to finish it during the ride.

The coaster? It should be quick I only went from bus to SD to LA and back and its about 3 hours, the train might just be faster

I heard la jolla is a nice place though the farther I've been to was Carlsbad area.

It's nice, lots of tourists but I think is like that everywhere in the SD area. Its time for you to come see more of the south area of California, there's some really cool places to explore.

I'll ask my boyfriend to take me around. We've only been together a month and he hasn't taken anywhere other Pendleton/Oceanside/Carlsbad. I would like to see SeaWorld for this trip.

Last time I went to Pendleton I took the bus. It's cheaper but harder to get to. It's Pacific Surfliner. It's spacious and open seating.

I'd be a fun date if he does take you there! In July though make him take you to Encinitas for the Bro-Am fest, it's really awesome! That is if you're into surfing and a few alternative bands.

I took the train to San Diego when i was younger a few years ago. I've taken it twice. It's absolutely DREADFUL. It's so long. The view is for sure pretty but it feels like a LIFETIME on that train.
