GPS Surf Safari to Carlsbad

by The Editors on August 23, 2007

32576169-2-200-0-1Bonnie Cha is a senior editor at CNET.com. On her blog Miss Direction she uses, then writes about GPS devices. This weekend (August 24-26) she is hitting the road and heading for Carlsbad with the TomTom Go 270 GPS as her co-pilot.

My friend Kristen just moved there with her fiance Mike, so I’m going to visit their new crib and hit the waves at Tamarack and Moonlight Beach (you’ve been warned San Diego surfers; steer clear of the girl with the yellow surfboard). I’m looking forward to paddling out in warmer waters, enjoying the sunshine, and good times with friends.

Bonnie says she’ll be blogging the whole trip. So if you’d like to see what a NorCal tech diva thinks of Carlsbad and surfing Tamarack check her blog out right here. We’ll keep you posted as well.

And Bonnie, if you read this, leave a comment and we’ll go out for a surf.

Visitors Bureau Promotes Birdwatching

by The Editors on August 23, 2007

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves if the crew at the Carlsbad Convention & Visitors Bureau is on the program. Their latest press release, designed ostensibly to bring tourist dollars into the city, hinges entirely on how great the fall bird watching is here.

Let your wild side take charge and come to Carlsbad on San Diego’s beautiful North Coast when birding is at its best. . . In the fall, Mother Nature fills the sky with voluminous white clouds and the migratory birds begin long flights to winter homes. A vital sanctuary along the migratory path and a winter destination is Carlsbad’s Batiquitos Lagoon, one of the few remaining tidal wetlands on the southern California coast.

We’re David Allen Sibley fans too, but is hiking around the lagoon with binocs really that big a vacation drawn for Carlsbadistan? Follow the link for the entire release.
