With its iconic red turrets piercing the taut horizontal lines of an azure California skyline, the Hotel del Coronado radiates with a confidence of gracious Victorian splendor that is without equal. 

Built in 1888, this classic beachfront respite has long been heralded as one of America’s most beautiful beach resorts. A pronouncement underscored by its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

Today, The Del offers guests a unique combination of modern luxury touched with the charm and grace of this fairytale castle. Include its stunning beachfront locale and it’s easy to see why The Del has been called “one of the top ten resorts in the world” by USA Today.

The quintessential San Diego vacation destination, the Hotel del Coronado offers something for everyone.  For families, The Del is the idyllic locale for those who yearn for a memorable vacation getaway. For couples, the resort’s enchanting island setting and classic architecture form the perfect backdrop for a romantic escape.

But to truly understand the wonder that is the Hotel del Coronado, you have to experience this legendary San Diego, California resort for yourself.  So take a look around.

We started seeing Black Friday deals a little earlier than usual this year, dating back several weeks and continuing right up until the actual Black Friday event, the day after Thanksgiving. Searching for the early deals proved to pay off in some cases and in others, we found that the price increases left consumers with no deal at all. While most of the major department stores have the privilege of offering services and products at a substantial discount, some of your smaller retail stores make it only seem like some sort of holiday discount by jacking up the prices and offering sale prices that in the long run, save consumers little, if any money.

One thing is certain about Black Friday, if you venture out to the actual department stores, you are sure to run into high traffic. One good way to avoid hours of waiting in lines and the hustle and bustle that comes along from the rush to get the last product on sale, is to do some of your holiday shopping online. Online shopping can land you the same great deals found in the actual department stores, without ever having to leave the comfort of your home.

Shopping couldn’t be much easier for traveliers visiting Encinitas, Carlsbad, or San Diego California.  For some onf the best online discounts check your local retailer in Southern California:  1800 FLOWERS, Best Buy, Toys “R” Us, Kohl’s, and Wal-Mart being just a few examples.

Lt. Cpl. Bob Beres “The Troopers are out there monitoring not just the traffic, but the conditions of the road. As the temperature drops we’re going to check the over passes and bridges and we’ll stay in constant contact with the department of transportation. If we do need some salt or sand on the bridges we’ll make sure to expedite that.”

In these conditions, Lt. Cpl. Bob Beres says distracted driving should be avoided at all costs. Karen Johnson is traveling from Denver, Colorado to Encinitas, California and she can think of one distraction worth avoiding. She says, “I am guilty of driving and talking on the phone.”

ZoomSafer.com is one solution for drivers like Karen. It offers a downloadable cell phone application to help her focus solely on the road, by stopping all calls, texts, and emails. It activates automatically if she drives more than 15 mile per hour. You can also activate in manually. Incoming callers receive a message saying the driver can’t talk because they are focusing on the road.

Karen has two young daughters, and says this is ideal for her entire family. She said, “I think young adults and teenagers are more apt to try and talk on the phone while they drive or text on the phone. So I think that’s perfect.”

Lt. CPL Beres agrees saying, “Just for one second, when you look at a text message it can cause you to cross that center line or switch lanes when you’re not paying attention.”

He and the other troopers did all they could to keep roads safe this Thanksgiving. He encouraged us to do our part while heading to our Turkey Day celebrations
