Mobile Phone use in the US is EXPENSIVE. Don't pay the rip off charges over there, get a MAXROAM sim before you go and get a US and Irish number in one. Call home for the price of a local call from your mobile!

    no prob susan
    me and my sister worked for this t-shirt shop called del sol..they have shops in old town(an old mexican village/restuarant/tourist spot) and in sea port village(a tourist village downtown) we got the job totally by accident wen we met one of their former employees in the liquor store an she gav us their no lol
    the owner laurie loves irish ppl an even asked us to recommend ppl who are headin over this yr so u could try ther. we ended up partyin all summer wit the staf in del sol they wer all crazy an lovin drinkin wit the irish like most americans
    ur best bet is to pick up the san diego reader wen u get there, they hav huge lists of available jobs and accomidation or go to sea world...they employ half of ireland!!!
    jobs in san d are no problem its gettin accomidation that will take u all ur time an effort
    if u can try an sort out accomidation befor u leave it wil save u a lot of stress
    even if u just hav a list of numbers for places to call wen u get there ull be a step a head of the crowd and trust me theres gonna b a huge crowd lookin to rent in san d this summer
    check craigslist san diego and san diego reader online a week or so befor u leave
    hope it helps
