Bring the Gnome to San Diego

Written by Katie S. on July 29th, 2009

I love the Travelocity gnome. You know, the little guy with the red hat and the white beard that travels the globe, but isn’t Santa Claus? Well San Diego lovers, if you love the gnome as much as I do, here’s your chance to bring him to our sunny city. Vote to bring the Travelocity gnome to San Diego in the Pick the Roaming Gnome’s Next Adventure contest.

Mission Beach is currently battling Venice Beach in Los Angeles and South Beach in Miami, and we need your votes (and the votes from your friends, family, co-workers, long-lost relatives and random people you meet on the street) to put San Diego on the map. Voting also makes you more attractive, so the more you vote, the better looking you are!*

Voting goes on until Tuesday, August 4th, so please vote all week and ensure that San Diego goes down in the books as being the best beach city in the U.S. Plus, it wouldn’t hurt to have a personal photo with the cutest gnome we can think of.

VOTE NOW

*No clinical studies have ever been conducted to prove this theory.

Want To Win A Honeymoon?

Written by Kate on June 17th, 2009

Hotel DelGetting hitched? 

You could be the lucky couple that wins a free honeymoon in Coronado at the iconic Hotel del Coronado from Brides.com (the online home of bridal bibles like Modern Bride, Brides and Elegant Bride).  The amazing give-away includes round trip airfare on JetBlue, five nights in an oceanfront signature suite and a couples massage in the Del’s new spa. 

Wondering if this is the right honeymoon spot for you?

Trust me, The Del is ultra-romantic – it’s where Marilyn Monroe frolicked with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot.  A gem of stunning Victorian architecture, the hotel is a national historic landmark that has played host to newlyweds for more than 120 years.  

Plus, all the honeymoon fun and excitement of San Diego, from hot air ballooning over the Pacific coast to sexy downtown nightclubs  (and much more), is just minutes away.
