It’s officially spring break season and the perfect time to escape for a family vacation. With gas prices on the rise consider an eco-friendly, low cost, and fun for everyone’s spring vacation and ride the rails to North San Diego.
Metrolink just partnered with Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa to offer Southern California families a getaway package that includes hopping on board a train in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino or Ventura Counties destined for Oceanside and free shuttle transportation to the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa.

If a tranquil setting, rustic sophistication and romantic scenery above the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur piques your interest as much as it does ours (we’d pack our bags now, if we could) consider a stay at Joie de Vivre’s Ventana Inn & Spa. It even boasts an award-winning cuisine dining spot, The Restaurant at Ventana with breathtaking 50-mile views of the Big Sur Coastline.
Ventana Inn & Spa in is offering a complimentary upgrade to its popular Photo Safari Package that includes a Big Sur Suite (or better!) dinner for two - $150 dining credit (one per stay); two 50-minute signature spa treatments; one two-hour photography session and safari tour with a fine art photography instructor; and a 16”x24” archival print of an image captured during the safari tour session.
