San Diego: Day 4

Leave a comment

Friday March 21, 2008 by Ali

Happy Easter!

It's official: I'm moving to La Jolla. What a gorgeous place! From the lush foliage to the cliffs and views of the ocean and strings of boutiques... I'm in love. We met some friends for dinner at George's at the Cove. Fantastic. Aside from it being a little chilly off the ocean, it was a wonderful experience. I had the seared tuna special and warm chocolate cake for...

I Am Fashion dishes on a recent trip Down Under (should this article be categorized under "Wellness" if we're burning with jealousy? Hmmm)...

Usually on a holiday, one of the main attractions for me is the shopping. Even if it is the usual department store stuff I can get back home, I still do it. When it comes to the actual tourist attractions, likes views and such, I am the type to just...

San Diego Day 2 & 3

Ok, so I lied. We didn't go wine touring yesterday. We planned to, but it was so gorgeous we ended up lying by the pool and going for a hike instead. Though I had slathered myself with sunscreen and lectured everyone else to do the same, I fried like a tourist. It seems I missed a few patches and am now sporting some bright red stripes down my arms, neck and the bridge of my...

San Diego: Day 1

Tuesday March 18, 2008 by Ali

A 5 hour flight, a 2 hour line up for the car rental and a 2.5 hour drive from LAX and we're here! It was somewhat of a pain getting here but it is so beautiful I really don't care. The resort we are staying at is a dream. Unfortunately it is a bit of a drive to get to San Diego downtown but there is a lot to do in the area including touring wineries - which we hope to do plenty of.

We...

We are going on vacation! Well, sort of. We're headed to San Diego California tomorrow for some sun, relaxation and of course, reviewing our favorite spots! Since ChickAdvisor launched in September 2006, Alex and I have had very little down time so this is huge for us. We're also going to be spending some time with one of the most beautiful girls in the world: my 6 month old niece. Ya, I...

Did you know that many airlines will lower their rates at midnight (EST)? Or that weekend specials are usually released on Thursday nights?

No? Neither did we.

That is, until recently when member Spotty posted this article in our forums.

You might want to read that article before you book your next flight. Sweet!

Thanks, Spotty!

Sandy beaches, cozy ski chalets, the bliss of doing nothing...

The plan: Escape with 3 best girls to the Dominican for a week to lie in the sun, drink loads of all-included margaritas, get a decent tan, but avoid getting those silly bead braids.

The details: Not worked out yet. Can't get much research done with the boss constantly looking over my shoulder. Honestly don't even know where to...
