Cancun Vacation Advice

14 08 2007

When traveling to Cancun, it is advisable for potential vacationers to make enquiries regarding local culture and food habits in order to be able to settle in at this popular tropical island region. A remnant of the ancient Mayan civilization, the Mexican government initially required financial aid from America to transform the region into a major revenue-generating region. Cancun vacation advice is available through a number of worthy reviews, articles, business magazines and subscriptions. This information can also be found online, from tour operators and travel agents.

Potential vacationers may also choose to discuss with family, friends and acquaintances that have experienced similar vacations. They may offer details that can reduce travel costs. It is advisable to have all travel documents and paperwork categorized along with authentic duplicates. This helps initiate smooth negotiations with customs and immigration officials. It is also advisable to have access to adequate financial resources. When deciding what to carry, travelers need to be judicious in their selection and need to carry an adequate quota of personal medication. Travel advice offers information regarding choice of clothing to match local weather conditions, use of currency, accepted credit cards, travelers’ checks and information regarding money exchanges. Advice regarding local languages spoken, time zone differences, tipping etiquettes, local customs and Cancun landmarks is also available.

Before venturing to Cancun, vacationers need to plan carefully or hire the services of reputed agents. This helps ensure a hassle free trip and potentially reduces the chances of an unfavorable holiday experience. Cancun travel advice helps vacationers understand travel needs and make plans accordingly. This includes advance preparations and prompt arrivals at departure points. Vacationers can gather information on Cancun landmarks and activities they want to indulge in. This allows vacationers make their preferences known to agents who can help slot these provisions. An important Caribbean travel advice requires tourists to be flexible in order to accommodate travel delays and extensions.

La Paz, Mexico; In Baja, Where Bing and Desi Once Partied

10 08 2007

Back in the 1960’s, La Paz, which lies along the Sea of Cortez, in Baja California, seemed poised to become the next great Mexican getaway. Its white sand beaches were less crowded than those of Acapulco, while its sport fishing was as good as anything you could find at Cabo San Lucas. And it acquired a brief fame when Bing Crosby bought a home in a nearby fly-in resort, as did Desi Arnaz, who swam in a pool built in the shape of a flamenco guitar.
   But the tourist boom never came. Perhaps because the topography didn’t easily lend itself to the kinds of mega-resorts and golf courses that are a staple of today’s upscale vacation spots. Or maybe La Paz, with its workaday citizens and smoke-bellowing Pemex refinery on the edge of town, has always been too functional to be the kind of idyllic escape many travelers look for when they head off for a warm-weather vacation.
   Whatever the reason, La Paz, with its fine beaches and dependably sunny weather, today remains a sleepy city of 200,000 residents largely unknown to most Americans.
   And that, perhaps, is the best reason for going there.
   A visitor to modern La Paz, whose name means ”peace,” will find a casual and un-trampled city drowsing peacefully along the bay under the fierce Mexican sun. During a marine expedition he took to La Paz in the 1940’s to collect marine life, John Steinbeck described the city as ”a Hollywood production, the fine, low buildings close down to the water and trees flanking them and a colored bandstand on the water’s edge.”
   La Paz is only 90 miles to the north of Cabo San Lucas, but it is so strikingly different as to appear to belong to another Baja. For starters, La Paz is a working city, the capital of southern Baja, not a resort town, and there are few big hotels or spring-breaker clubs serving tequila to tourists. You will not find a branch of Cabo Wabo, the famously (and proudly) tacky bar in Cabo San Lucas owned by the rock singer Sammy Hagar, which in and of itself makes La Paz an appealing destination.
   Many residents of La Paz speak only Spanish, and the downtown, with its Mission-style architecture and its sun-baked avenues leading down to the bay, is distinctly Mexican.
   One day, at Playa del Tesoro, a cove-like beach a few miles from town, a visitor swam lazily while tractor-trailers buzzed by. They were heading to the ferry, which sails from a port up the road called Pichilingue and transports everything from cigarettes to a circus to and from the mainland.
   While La Paz is off the beaten track to most Americans — the name tends to conjure images of the city in Bolivia — its beaches have made it a vacation spot for middle-class Mexicans, who fly in from Mexico City or drive from northern Baja.
   At night, they crowd the Malecón, a pretty tree-lined promenade that skirts the bay. Fronted by a row of shops and noisy restaurants, and running along Alvaro Obregón, the main road to the beaches, the Malecón is the center of life in La Paz, part boardwalk and part drag strip. On a balmy evening there in early July, Mexican families bunched near the entrance of La Fuente, a popular shop that sells helados, which, in this case, are ices made of fresh fruit.
   Pickup trucks rolled by with groups of children standing in back, peering over the cab at the crowded sidewalks. The music from the passing cars was wildly diverse. Beyoncé’s ”Baby Boy” would blare from a souped-up compact filled with rowdy teenagers, and then two men would slowly drive past in a farm truck, listening to mariachi music. All night, a group of women prowled the Malecón in a beat-up Jaguar with California plates, yelling ”Guapo!”(”Handsome!”) to passing men.
   Like most coastal cities, a large part of life in La Paz revolves around the water. Daylight reveals the pleasure boats that have anchored in the bay during the night, and restaurants supplement quesadillas or tacos with a menu of fresh crab, shrimp and fish. The beaches extend along an arid peninsula that curves like a bent thumb around the coast. At the tip is Playa el Tecolote, a wide, rugged, open beach dotted with thatch-roofed bars and taquerías and crowded on weekends.
   There, you can rent a fiberglass skiff called a panga and go to Isla Espíritu Santo, an uninhabited island where there is good snorkeling and an abandoned pearl works, a remnant from the days when La Paz was known as a pearl capital and a target for marauding sea pirates.
   Of course, there is also the fishing. David Jones, who owns the Fishermen’s Fleet, which offers guided trips, said the variety of fish in the Sea of Cortez and the great depth of the water so close to the shoreline are what make the region one of the best places to run a line. Clark Gable used to come here to fish for marlin, and an old photo of him posing with one as big as a beer barrel hangs in the bar at Los Arcos, one of the 1950’s-era hotels along the Malecón.
   ”There are other places in the world where the fishing is this good,” said Mr. Jones, sitting in his tiny office downtown, ”but you and I aren’t good enough and we don’t have the money to get there. La Paz is accessible and the fishing is both easy and plentiful.”
   Mr. Jones moved his family to La Paz a decade ago from Silicon Valley, and he has since developed the wizened and salty manner of another expatriate to the city, Ray Cannon. A screenwriter and director in the early days of Hollywood (his credits include Buster Keaton’s ”Go West”), Mr. Cannon decamped to Baja in the 1950’s, grew a scruffy beard and remade himself as a ”Vagabundo del Mar,” a sea-going gypsy. When he wasn’t fishing or drinking at Los Arcos, which was often, he acted as a one-man tourism board, celebrating life on Baja in a travel book, ”Sea of Cortez,” now out of print.
   At Playa el Tecolote, the beach on the tip of the cove, a series of dirt roads snake through the mountains and wind along the rocky coastline for miles. At the end of one of them is the Club de Caza y Pesca Las Cruces, the hunting and fishing club that counted Bing Crosby and Desi Arnaz as members.
   These days, the resort, which had its heyday in the 1960’s, is a faded relic — ”like something out of ‘The Shining,”’ as one local described it. The buildings still stand and there is an active member roll, but the surrounding land is as rugged and undeveloped as it was a half century ago.
   That may soon change. Once again, someone has discovered La Paz: In 2003 Money magazine named the city one of the best places to retire to. Mr. Jones has heard rumors that new resorts and condos will soon follow. But knowing the history of La Paz, he has reacted with caution. ”You hear a lot of talk about that sort of thing down here,” he said. ”Sometimes these things pan out, and sometimes they don’t.”
 
 
GETTING THERE–Although La Paz has its own airport, most people fly into Los Cabos International Airport, about an hour and a half to two hour’s drive south of La Paz and served by major carriers like Continental, Delta, America West and American Airlines.

WHERE TO STAY–La Paz does have a few hotels on the outskirts of town, including one — the Hacienda del Cortez — once owned by the singer Engelbert Humperdinck (and called La Posada de Engelbert). But for convenience and night life it’s best to stay in one of the old hotels along the Malecón, like Hotel Perla or Los Arcos. Los Arcos, a longtime favorite with sport fishermen, is a big white-stucco friendly place with balconies that overlook the bay, while Hotel Perla dates back to 1940 and offers a nightclub and an open-air restaurant, perfect for watching the sunsets.

Warm and relaxed La Paz

10 08 2007

For the third time in the last ten minutes, Bill Johnson buried and re-buried his feet in the warm, white sand of Tecolote Beach, and sighed again as he squinted out over the flat, turquoise waters.
   Leaning back, Bill looked at his wife while she accepted another frosty umbrella-tipped margarita from their mesero (waiter). He said with a grin, “I feel like I’m part of a Corona Beer commercial sitting here. I have half-a-mind to send a digital photo back home to the guys at work where I hear it’s cold and raining.”
   “This was a great and easy get-away idea,” smiled Sherri Johnson from behind her sunglasses, inhaling the fresh tartness of the icy, lime-flavored concoction; then laying down to sun her back. “Here, all the snow is in your glass instead of on your driveway,” she joked.
   If you mention the “Mexican Riviera” to most people, images of Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco and maybe even Cabo San Lucas come to mind. Yet, most would be hard-pressed to find La Paz on the map; let alone, know were to find the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
   However, just a quick two-hour flight south of Los Angeles, this sleepy colonial city of 150,000 friendly folks, sits serenely on the Sea of Cortez, nestled near the warm waters of the Bay of La Paz. At the southern tip of the 1,000-mile long finger peninsula, known formally as Baja California, Mexico (Lower California) the city is slowly being discovered laughingly as “The anti-Riviera.”
   “This is so different from other Pacific Coast Mexican destinations,” explained a first-time visitor. “It’s not so ‘touristy’ and more like Mexico 50 years ago - without all the high-rises and tourist traps.”
   Indeed a walk down the waterfront “malecon” reveals white sand beaches bordered by colorful side-walk cafes and restaurants. Palm trees and thatched umbrellas line the beach where there is a distinct lack of hustle and bustle characteristic of so many other popular Mexican populations. A guitarist strolls by. A local family picnics on the beach. A young Mexican couple peddles by on bicycles giggling and waving at a white-uniformed police officer also astride a bike who waves back and blows his whistle.
   Taking an afternoon stroll, Marjorie Duncan of Oregon - on her fourth visit to La Paz - makes a point of always getting some fresh made local Mexican ice-cream.
“It’s the BEST mango ice- cream on Earth!” she explained between big spoonfuls. “They make it by hand here, and people come from all over to just get ice-creams and sit and watch the world and sailboats go by. Everyone is friendly. There are hardly any tourists; and unlike other places I have visited, no one keeps trying to sell me time-shares!” she added with a laugh.
   It’s not that there aren’t things for tourists; it’s just that La Paz is a “real” city. The product of Spanish conquistadors, zealous missionaries and roving pirates, La Paz is the capital of the state of Southern Baja (Baja Sur). It is the home of the University, and the soon-to-be national aquarium; is the center for business, agriculture, shipping, light manufacturing and hub to art and culture in the area. Major hospitals, shopping and other amenities are also available.
   Life just moves a little slower along its centuries-old cobblestone streets and winding narrow alleys - from the waterfront to the old Spanish mission cathedral. Locals play the Mexican version of bingo on Sunday afternoons; and eating fresh seafood from local open-air vendors is almost an art form.

 Half the city still takes a siesta at mid-day, and in the evening, dine European style - al fresco - by candlelight, under the warm starry nights; or catch improvisational waterside concerts by local musicians.
   Most visitors fly directly into La Paz’ modern airport, only 10 minutes from downtown and several excellent hotels, where a nice room averages $100/night for two.
   Taxis are everywhere, but one often wonders how the drivers make a living, since everything is within walking distance. Foot-power is the way to go, and most tourist-oriented activities are within blocks of the beachfront. For daytime activities, La Paz is a hidden gem for sportfishing, scuba diving and other water sports, where water temperatures can reach into the 80’s and 90’s, with gin-clear visibility. Average daytime temperatures range from the 70’s in the winter to upper 90’s in the summer.
   “I know it sounds manufactured,” says Tracy Sullivan, an office manager from San Francisco, “but at night, I really can hear guitars playing from my hotel room overlooking the bay. Combine that with the gentle lapping of the waves and this is the ideal place to just de-compress with a good book and conversation on the balcony. I come here twice-a-year and the hotel treats me like one of the family. Often, there are so few tourists here I just love it!”

Jonathan Roldan is the owner/operator of Tailhunter International Fishing and Diving Services, in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. He is a contributor and columnist for several outdoor and active lifestyle publications.

Los Cabos –Stepping into the Great Outdoors

10 08 2007

The sparkling seaside resorts of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo (Los Cabos), better known as “Cabo” offer far more than meets the eye. I’ve never been one to tire of basking in the sun for hours on end, but some visitors to the area are looking for something a bit more than the obvious gorgeous beaches and stunning sunsets. Once you look deeper into Cabo, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the options.
   Of course, with almost perfect weather year round, outdoor activities are the main draw to “the capes” at the tip of the Baja.  The fishing statistics speak for themselves with over 40,000 marlin and sailfish hooked each year. Plenty of places in Mexico are known for great fishing, but Cabo is arguably the “sportfishing Capital of the World.” Though I have personally never tackled anything bigger than a sailfish, they say battling a 500-pound marlin for hours is one of life’s all-time thrills. The marina is full of skilled fishermen and local charters have built reputations for their fine fleets so we all have an equal chance of landing “the big one!”
   Striking Bahia San Lucas (San Lucas Bay), flanked by the final stretches of the 1000-mile Baja Peninsula on its southwest side, is a marine sanctuary and the ultimate location for diving and snorkeling. Schools of parrotfish, goatfish, triggerfish and more call these waters home. In the winter months, visibility ranges from 30 to 50 feet and from April to October increases to over 100 feet. Beginners will find the water near Pelican Rock or Neptune’s Finger just right for getting started while advanced divers can try the Abyss (near the Arch), or the Sandfalls, a 90-foot dive documented by the late Jacques Cousteau.
   Whether you stay in San Jose or Cabo San Lucas, whale watching is well worth the visit from January through April. Of the approximately 15,000 Grey whales in the world, it is estimated that 11,000 make a 10,000-mile journey to bear their calves in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez. These amazing creatures are so close they can easily be seen from shore, or you can arrange a half-day boat trip to take a closer look. If you really want to get into the whale scene, fly Aero Calafia to Magdalena and San Ignacio lagoons. The tour includes an early morning pick up at your hotel, a one hour plus flight on a panoramic high-wing Cessna, 4 hours of whale watching on a small panga boat, snacks, drinks, and a seafood lunch at a local restaurant. All of this and back to your hotel by late afternoon. (Available only during whale season: January, February and March.)
   And what Mexican resort would be complete without golf? With the dramatic coastal settings of desert rolling to the sea, the views certainly can’t be beat. Even though the courses are visually breathtaking and equally challenging, golf takes a backseat to watersports in Los Cabos, but maybe not for long. At the moment there are 81 holes open with final plans calling for an eventual 207.
   Eco-Tourism has really taken a hold here as well. Ecological touring companies have sprung up all around Los Cabos offering both land and air tours of remote desert, mountain and ocean areas. These interesting excursions include things like camping facilities, kayaks, 4-wheel drive vehicles, rock climbing guide and gear, naturalist bilingual guide, snacks, meals and drinks. Mountain bike tours are also the latest craze and offer an active alternative to horseback riding adventures. And, for the explorers, there are also tours to prehistoric fossil beds north of Cabo San Lucas. Check with local tour operators for more information. 
   So spend some time in the great outdoors – spend some time in Los Cabos.

Atlanta’s Omni Hotel - A New Messaging Desk

31 07 2007

atlanta omniWhen Atlanta’s Omni Hotel at the CNN Center needed to replace the communications system used to send messages from the front desk to the motor lobby below, management had a hard time locating something as simple to use as the previous “system.”

Not only was the old method easy to learn, desk clerks literally had a ball with it since the “state-of-the-sport” message system consisted of a chute–connecting the third-floor registration area with the ground level–and a large supply of tennis balls.

Under the old system, clerks would “serve” up instructions to the bellstand two levels below by inserting a color-coded message into a tennis ball sliced open for just that purpose.

The ball was then dropped into the chute, which emptied into a basket one floor below.

Despite its uncomplicated approach, the chute did have its problems, including a tendency to clog up during peak usage> the path of the chute wasn’t a straight line.

After weighing various options, the Omni Hotel installed the sound-alike Omninote Messaging System several months ago, and sent the tennis balls back to the courts.

Uses Same Electricity

A compact dest-to-desk messaging system that operates without using telephone lines, each Omminote unit weighs only 8 pounds and is roughly the size of a three-ring notebook.

Each desk unit contains a line display, printer, and fullsized typewriter keyboard.

The Omninote unit plugs into any standard three-prong wall outlet and communicates through the building’s existing electrical system.

A central processing unit (CPU)–known as the controller–operates up to 150 desk units, sending messages to any or all users instantaneously.

Omninote is manufactured by Telautograph Corp., a century-old Los Angeles based company with an extensive history of involvement in facsimile transmission and other telecomm technologies.

“Omninote has been an excellent solution,” says Omni Resident Manager Tom Schurr.

“It was easily installed, it runs on the existing electrical circuits, and now information can be easily typed in and sent to the bellstand.”

As a result, the registration process at the Omni is much more efficient.

Schurr says the chute-and-tennis-ball setup had been a part of the Omni since the hotel opened in 1976.

At the same time, hotels are not the only place where Omninote has been speeding up the “registration” process.

At Monongalia General Hospital in Morgantown, W.V., however, “registration” is more accurately referred to as “admission.”

At “Mon General” more than 30 of the desktop units are currently in service.

In a typical situation, when a new patient is admitted, Patient Registration sends a message to the nurses station on the floor where the patient’s room is located.

The message lists both the patient and the doctor’s name, the diagnosis, the number of the room to which the patient is being assigned, and any other pertinent information.

“The note tells the nurse and the clerical staff on that floor to prepare a chart and begin whatever other procedures are necessary,” says Judy Haught, Mon General’s communications director.

“And, when the patient arrives, everything is ready.

Saves 5 or 6 Calls

Other departments that need information about the new patient are notified at the same time by access to a group call name.

When a patient is admitted, a message is sent to “ALL DEPARTMENTS.”

Omninote then transmits the message simultaneously to Dietary, X-Ray, Respiratory Therapy, Console, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Laboratory.

“In the past, it might have taken five or six phone calls to set all that up,” says Haught.

Still other Omninote units were installed in the hospitals’s operating room and outpatient service areas, as well as other departments.

In moving to the Omninote solution, both the hotel and the hospital followed the example of a growing number of businesses of all types.

For example, one very early Omninote user was the Washington-based law firm of Grove, Jaskiewicz, Gilliam and Cobert, which has been using 22 Omninote machines to links its 20 lawyers, receptionist and administrator for more than a year.

Members of the firm use the system to send short telegram-like messages to one another.

They report having significantly reduced telephone tag and interruptions.

When a call comes in to Grove, Jaskiewicz, and the attorney is already on the telephone, a receptionist types in the caller’s name on the Omninote and sends it to the lawyer’s desk unit.

The receptionist may also include the telephone number, or a short message.

The lawyer, meanwhile, hears s small beep.

He can respond:

* by pressing one of six buttons programmed with frequently used messages, such as: “Send in the call,” “Forward the call” or “Take a message”>

* or by sending a more specific message back to the receptionist.

A similar convenience has taken place at another law firm–San Antonio based Mc-Camish, Martin, Brown & Loeffler.

Management of this 32-lawyer firm have found that Omninote allows attorneys to get information in time to make a decision about whether or not to take an incoming call.

Omni Cancun Hotel - Best Vacation Resort in Mexico

11 07 2007

Omni Cancun Hotel - Best Vacation Resort in Mexico

One can define a “Omni Cancun beach resort” as a resort where everything imaginable is provided to meet not only your needs but your wants and your desires and more.   Since we are all different people and we all have different tastes, my idea of a Omni Cancun Hotel may differ from your idea.  So let me tell you about my Omni Hotel Cancun Resort and let’s see if you can agree that what I am describing is something you may want to think about and add for your future vacation  plans.   

My Omni Hotel Beach Resort consists of a quiet, peaceful atmosphere with a spacious ocean front room overlooking the blue-green, ever changing crystal clear waters of the Mexican Caribbean Beach.  The beach resort itself is compact, housing over 200 travelers.  It stands out as a stark white stucco giant against the baby blue, cloudless sky.  The curtains that divide the lobby area blow in and out with the slight breeze.  Upon reaching the first landing, your breath is taken away by the blue - green kalidescope of colors as your eyes take in nothing but ocean.  You take a deep deep breath in and breathe out slowly, filling your lungs while tasting the fresh salt water air.  You embrace the warm sun as it beats down on parts of your unclothed body relieving it of all of its aches and pains.  You close your eyes and breathe in again and make a wish that paradise will never end.  You can’t believe you are going to be able to enjoy a whole week of this bliss.  You then hurry off to your room in anticipation of starting the week right then and now.  No more delays.  Just bliss that lies ahead.  Your Omni Cancun vacation has begun.

You have decided that your Omni Cancun resort is the ultimate and now you lay down the laws in your mind. . . “I don’t want any time constraints.  I want the opportunity to read as many books as I please without interruption.  I want to be pampered and massaged to sleep with pleasurable music playing in the background.  I want my nails manicured;   my feet pedicured.  I want the smell of incense to rise in my nosrils and put me to sleep.  I want the bubbling jacuzzi to rest my weary body while I close my eyes or take a peek at the beautiful blue ocean waters at my eye level, without ever moving an inch. 

I want the gentle breezes to blow through the sheer curtains from my balcony through my room while I take a short rest on the king sized bed.  I want to sip my bottled water and my glass of wine while on my private balcony overlooking the ocean and the pools.  I want to watch the people enjoy themselves and couples enjoying each other.

I want to feel the ocean breezes while the sun burns brightly in the sky and the sand simmers under my body.  I want to hear the waves gently lapping on the shoreline.  I want enough quiet that I can hear the birds singing in the trees and the palm leaves rubbing against each other with the gentle winds.  I want to take a dip in the crystal clear, refreshingly cool tiers of swimming pools that overlook the ocean.  I want to lie by the pools and sip my iced tea while reading my books and never having to get up from the chair unless I choose to.  I want to be waited on by smiling waiters and waitresses who are there the moment my glass becomes empty, to refill it with more, or to offer me snacks as the sun begins it’s midday afternoon retreat.

When I am hungry, I want to eat.  I want wonderful, gourmet meals prepared for me and served to me by gracious, well dressed, smiling waiters and hostesses.  I want my wine glass filled the minute it is empty.  I want dessert cooked at my tableside while others look on in awe.  I want to be so full that I can barely waddle back to my room.  I want room service to be available for my every need.  I want the turn down service to prepare my bed for the night.  I want a huge marble shower stall and a wonderful, spacious dressing area.  I want a thick robe and slippers to greet me after my warm, soothing shower.  I want quiet.  The sun is down.  I want sleep.  I want the next day.  I want this to never end.”

Omni Cancun - A Perfect Honeymoon

10 07 2007

We chose the Omni for our honeymoon first, because of the price we paid for it.We got the all-inclusive option (I recommend it) through Expedia and it was very reasonable compared to other pricces we had seen. Since we hadn’t paid an arm and a leg, we didn’t have very high expectations, but as soon as we set eyes on this place, we knew we were going to have an excellent honeymoon! The people at the front desk were courteous and friendly. However, we unknowingly were tricked into a timeshare presentation (just make sure to stay away from the people through the glass doors across from the lobby and the people working the table beside the front desk). We found the food to be excellent at the buffet and at the beachside restaraunt–we didn’t get a chance to eat at Da Vinci’s because my husband forgot to pack dress pants. The bartenders are great and the pool DJ was wonderful. They have a nice quiet, relaxed atmosphere at night, which was perfect for our honeymoon. Our room was spacious and very clean and had a wonderful view of the ocean. Besides our 2 excursions that we took, we barely left the hotel because we were that satisfied staying there. I would recommend this place to anyone, as there seemed to be people all kinds of people staying there–young, old, couples, singles, students, families.
