america here we come

a few months ago i nearly got scammed into blowing away some 1000€ to fly my family from belgium to florida, where one of the come-ons was a yacht cruise and a visit to the Miami Seaquarium. it was a good thing that i caught onto the bogus enticements after too many minutes, and i must admit that this was so because of all the cities i have been in the united states, miami has eluded my lucky stars thus far.

i know next to nothing about medicine although i have my fair share of friends who are in the medical profession. i would imagine that doctors and other medical professionals interested in urological health issues would be in the know about the upcoming 2008 American Urological Association Annual Meeting (or AUA) in orlando of which the orlando vista hotel is the perfect choice to stay at while attending the event in the city. there a host of hotels near disney world but this easily boasts of superior features and facilities such as the following:

viva mexico!

the closest i’ve come to an ideal holiday by the sea is christmas 2006 when i forced my husband to go to oostende for two days.  it was the first time i have experienced wintertime by the sea.  the north sea off the coast of belgium is not known for its warm and welcoming waters (just ask titanic survivors) but it was an okay holiday nevertheless.  the kids did get to visit marine world in blankenberge and i got to teach my older son to ice skate, so all in all, it was a success.

but you’ve never been on a proper beach holiday unless you’ve been to the perfect beach.  the philippines is known for its miles and miles of beautiful shoreline, which propted an italian woman to ask me two years ago, when i was at levanto in the italian mediterranean for the summer holidays, “why are you here?  your country has the best beaches, why are you here???”  sometimes people just don’t understand that you can’t be some place owing to economic and logistic reasons. 

for people who are lucky enough to live in southern united states, particularly nearer the west coast (think arizona, new mexico, california), you only need to drive a few miles south past the border into mexico until you hit the sea of cortez.  the best way to enjoy the beach?  not in expensive hotels, for one.  how about affordable Rocky Point vacation rentals for a change? 

rocky point has real estate including vacation rental homes, luxury homes and condos with beach front views . you also enjoy fully equipped kitchens and satellite tv.  nothing could possibly be better, my friends. hit the beach and have some sun this spring already!
