Avoiding The Pitfalls Of A Poorly Planned Vacation

Working with the wrong property management company can result in a less enjoyable experience.

In addition, there are other pitfalls that must be avoided when planning for a coastal Mexico vacation. Rental scams are one example that can quickly take the wind out of any exciting vacation plan.

This simple strategy alone can help vacationers avoid losses due to fraud.

The Midnight Wreck Off Road Race

The long last weekend of Summer is right around the corner. Southern Arizona Desert Racing brings two night off road excitement as the next in their series of events here in Rocky Point.

Things start on Friday August 29th with a poker run. The night races start with bikes, quads, and UTV’s. Two more races will be for trucks and pre-runners, then finally for cars and pro-trucks.

For More information, check out the SADR on Facebook.

The turtles are back!

We recently saw the natural process play out on Rocky Points’ beaches, as a sea tutle laid eggs only to have them fail to mature successfully. Our beaches are on the very edge of the range for the Pacific Olive Ridley to nest, so the failure rate is expected to be higher.

Now, just a couple of weeks later, another nest of eggs has been laid, this time further out of town heading towards the Mayan Palace Resort. A protective barrier has gone up, and we will all wait with crossed fingers. An average of 100 little turtles can hatch in approximately 50 days, give or take.

What Can I Do When I Visit Cancun?

This is a relatively easy question answer in that Cancun offers a multitude of activities, events and excursions that are sure to keep any vacationer busy for a long time. Best of all, Cancun is more affordable and more accessible to more people than ever before. The Yucatán Peninsula and all that Cancun has to offer is well within reach of even those on a limited travel budget.

Swim And Interact With Dolphins

Cancun offers things to do and places to see that no other place throughout coastal Mexico has to offer. For example, many tourists enjoy swimming with the dolphins as a way to get closer to nature. Children are especially attracted to this type of activity because dolphins are so friendly and inviting. Cancun is unique in that it has more than one location where visitors are able to actually swim and interact with dolphins. For anyone that has ever dreamed of swimming with dolphins this is the perfect opportunity to make a dream a reality.

These Amazing Ruins Can Be Admired For Hours

When asking the question of what can I do while in Cancun it is easy to answer especially when considering the Mayan ruins located throughout the Yucatán. For example the Mayan ruins at Coba are unique and can quickly transport individuals back in time to the original Mayan civilization. Nestled deeply in the jungles of the Yucatán, these amazing ruins can be admired for hours. As unique archaeological sites, Mayan ruins of Coba are considered from an archaeological standpoint to be some of the most important Mayan cities in the entire archaeological network. Tours are routinely made available directly from Cancun.

One Of The Most Visited Archaeological Sites

Chichen Itza is another special area of the Yucatán Peninsula that tourists can experience firsthand. The area is situated a little over 100 miles to the west of Cancun and is considered to be one of the most visited archaeological sites in the region. Offering visitors close-up views of a wide variety of pyramids that were crafted by the Mayans many years ago, Chichen Itza is an intriguing and amazing part of the Cancun experience that is simply beyond compare. Contact Sea Side Reservations today to learn more about the unique opportunities available in terms of Cancun vacation rental properties.

Now it was the teachers turn to learn. Seated at tables in the ballroom were thirty or so of Rocky Points’ best educators. They had come to pick up new tools, and to hear about a philosophy where the science of how people learn is combined with respect for the individual. For more than 10 years, Star Shine Academy has been making this vision a reality for the children of Phoenix.

“Do all of you have water for the kids in your classrooms?” Trish McCarty is the director and Founder of the Academy. She leads todays’ orientation that includes lots of interaction with the local teachers. Big things and small can have an impact on classroom learning. “Studies show us that without enough water, the brain will not be in the mode for learning, it just won’t happen.”

Nuts and bolts details about how to make sure a day at school is always a day of learning, are mixed with examples of the beliefs that Starshine feels makes a better classroom, and a better world. At the Starshine Academy in Phoenix, children work in a community garden, and make decisions about what they want to learn, and help each other acheive their goals.

“Music is a BIG part of the program” says Steve McCarty. A successful musician, Steve and his wife Trish are tireless advocates for improving the lives of children through education. “So much research shows that music is a universal language. It can be used in so many ways stimulate the learning process.”

The McCarty’s are regular visitors to Rocky Point, and are excited to share what they do with the local community. “This orientation will help us identify the educators that we want to work with” says Trish. “The goal is to bring the Starshine principles here, and document the improvement in the outcome for local children.” If we succeed, we we can get the support we need to have a regular presence here.”

This event was hosted by the Sonoran Sky Resort and took place in their Los Volcanes Ballroom. Want to learn more about Starshine? You can go check out their website at www.StarShine.org, or at their Facebook page.

The wind. Like most cities by an ocean, Rocky Point has a lot of days when kite flyers and wind surfers KNOW they have found their version of heaven. You may have seen the Altamont Valley in Southern California, another place where the wind has a strong presence. It is well known as the home for a sea of wind turbines, gracefully spinning as they turn the power of the breeze into electicity. Rocky Points’ affinity for wind makes it a natural palce to install one of these elegant and giant machines.

An alternative energy source that is becoming more and more common, wind power is beginning to appear on the west coast of Mexico. Under the direction of Energia Sonora, a wind Turbine is being installed in a predictably gusty spot near town.

Another tower is already in the works for the town of Guaymas. Energia Sonora states that annually, the wind turbine will generate 5.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity, equal to the energy consumption os 2,700 people.

So keep an eye out to spot the newest part of the Rocky Point landscape, as the latest in clean energy technology rises up.
