I did this the last time we where in San Diego. The only thing to be concerned about is at least United operated small planes with not to good frequency (at least then) and tends to fill up on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning (I noticed).

Then going from International to domestic at LAX turned out to be a small adventure but I think that was a unique experience I would be happy to tell in a bar..:)

least one attendee who flew through LAX to get here; that is, he took
LAX -> SAN as his last leg.

It's 120+ miles from LAX to the Sheraton San Diego, so a taxi isn't
practical. However, there are various ground transportation services that ply that route, so if there is sufficient interest I wouldn't mind looking into it and posting the results. I would say that the suggestion already offered of the train from LA's Union Station to San Diego is a good one. The city of Los Angeles recently introduced a low cost shuttle between the station and the airport, and the train station in San Diego is just a few miles away from the Sheraton. My mother takes the train up from San Diego
when she comes to visit her granddaughter (I am of course a second
consideration), and has very good things to say about it. The train spends a good deal of its time within view of the coast, so you get a fairly scenic
ride as well.

All that said, they do have commuter flights between LAX and SAN, so a
connecting flight is not as absurd as it sounds.

hth,

Doug
