Skating By The Sea

Coronado Ice Skating

Coronado, CA: The 5th anniversary of Hotel Del Coronado’s “Skating By The Sea” is here once again and providing tremendous fun for the entire family. It’s hard to believe, but now you can enjoy a beatiful sunset, walk on the beach, and ice skating all at once. It doesn’t sound like a typical San Diego vacation but is just one way you can enjoy the winter activities this year.

Coronado Ice Skating at Hotel Del

The ice-rink is next door to the Hotel Del and one block from the Coronado Beach Resort. 3-hour ice skating sessions cost $20 for adults and $15 for kids (10 & under). For more details, visit the Hotel Del’s holiday events page http://www.hoteldel.com/holidays.aspx

If Coronado is just a bit too far away for you, San Diego County has 6 other options. Visit SignOnSanDiego and read their “San Diego, On The Rocks” article for details on the closest ice skating rink near you.

Warm Weather Vacation

ResorTime.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:59:19 +0000

Are you starting to get cold at night? Is the winter creeping up on you? There is still time to take a warm weather vacation in the U.S. Start heading south! Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida are all warm enough for shorts and flip flops.

Not sure where to go? Take my advice by heading south to one of these four warm weather vacation destinations:

Orlando, Florida: It is not too late to hit the beach and Disneyworld. An average temparature of about 73 degrees in December will help you defrost and take in some last minute sunshine. Airfare is cheap and there are plenty of places to stay such as Sheraton Vistana Resort or Bahama BayResort… both 5 star quality for amazing prices.

San Diego, California: America’s Finest City… for a reason. There isn’t a single month of the year where the average high for the day is lower than 66 degrees. Every day is a beach day and if the sun is shining you can be sunbathing for your Christmas vacation. Don’t miss the unique beach towns of Coronado , Carlsbad, and Del Mar.

San Antonio, Texas: The most visited city in Texas has great temperatures for travelling there between October through April. Plenty of fun activities such as Sea World, the Alamo, the River Walk, and more all make San Antonio a great warm winter vacation destination. I recommend staying at the Salado Creek Villas or the Wyndham Riverside Suites.

Scottsdale, Arizona: Right now is the best time of the year to visit Scottsdale. Be sure to pack accordingly because you won’t need three layers to walk around in 68 degrees this winter. Stroll through art galleries, visit museums, or hone in on your golf skills, Scottsdale has something for everyone during the winter. There are many great places to stay, here are two of my favorites: Sheraton Desert Oasis and Westin Kierland Villas

Griffin in Carlsbad

Allyson — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:03:46 +0000

When I heard we were going to Carlsbad, California, I got so excited! I’ve gone to Carlsbad twice. Once in 2007 and once in 2009. Both trips were so much fun.

We went to the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Padres baseball games, and Knotsberry Farm. What was also cool was I got to ride bikes on the beach. But best of all, I got to see my Aunt Ally.

Later in the week, we stayed at the Carlsbad Sea Pointe Resort. Very nice! It has an arcade, basketball court, tennis court, ping pong, a pool table, two swimming pools, putt putt, and very nice rooms. It is a fantastic place to stay.

Also, there are amazing restaurants. The beach is awesome. The water is so clear.

Unfortunaly, we had to leave. I was so sad! I never wanted to leave! Carlsbad is such a nice and amazing place to stay. I hope I will go back someday.
