It's a great video, but almost everywhere you flew was within 5 miles (in some cases well, well within 5 miles) of a major international airport, or within the controlled airspace of the Navy. The entire downtown of San Diego is within 5 miles of the airport

For example:

Hotel del Coronado... 1.4 miles from Naval Air Station Coronado... and 3.3 miles from the San Diego International Airport.

USS Midway aircraft carrier, 3 miles of San Diego International Airport.

Balboa Park, 1.9 miles from San Diego International Airport.

I like the video, so I wonder if you contacted the airports prior to flying? Assuming you contacted them, how were you treated?

For example:

I contact them and left a Voicemail advising them were I was flying and how high.  Nobody called me back

Ha!  I guess it might be a good idea to record those calls, to protect yourself from liability if they deny ever hearing from you.

I wonder if something like this would suffice:

"Hi, my name is XXXX, I'm calling on a recorded line. I just wanted ti inform you that I'm a hobbyist drone operator, registered with the FAA, and I'll be flying at XXX and YYY, at an altitude of less than 400 feet. I will have completed my flights by 7pm today. Please call me at (phone number) should you have any questions. Thank you."

Oh, for anyone wanting to fly in San Diego, I found this web page which may help you if you're ever approached by my brothers in blue:

"The City of San Diego has developed an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (drone) policy that allows for local law enforcement action in serious cases of infractions, while still allowing for the use of drones for infrastructure inspections, photography, and general recreation. The information here is intended as a basic overview of the City’s drone ordinance, as well as valuable resources for drone users."

I always keep my drone in visual line-of-sight. If I see any airplanes or helicopters I always fly low for a few minutes.
