Seems Beth Jacob is praying 7:15 tomorrow morning assuming cuz it’s a legal holiday. Anything earlier?

Chabad UC still shows 6:30 any idea if that is accurate for tomorrow?

My mother was just there, and she said it is far enough and in the right direction that there were no problems - even air quality was fine.

I was just there. I don’t see any reason not to go. Even LA no real reason not to go unless you know the specific things you want to to do are not possible.

We were there for one day, we had breakfast at Boker - delicious!
Went to Sunny Jim’s sea cave - was cool, idk if I’d wait to go in if the line is too long, it moves but it can get pretty long. Continued a drop further down the shore to the sea lions which was also fun.

Thinking about staying at Hotel del Coronado and walking to Chabad which says it’s 8 min away. Does anyone have experience at either place?
