Article: What to do and see on your Vacation To Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

1) Have you ever heard someone say, “Once, when I was in Cabo….”? Cabo San Lucas, Mexico seems to get pared down to just “Cabo” by the people who love to vacation there. It is an affectionate nickname for a little piece of a desert town at the end of the Baja California peninsula that lives up to it’s own hype by being full of fun in the surf and sun.

2) When you begin to think about what activities you might expect to find on your vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, you will invariably start with the beach and ocean. Scuba diving with manta rays has become an unusual activity that could be a once in a lifetime type of encounter. Whale watching excursions are also popular and can provide a lifetime of memories to take home. And snorkeling expeditions can be exhilarating to undertake.

3) But what brings most visitors to Cabo San Lucas is the sport fishing industry. Marlin, Dorado, Tuna, and many other species of fish are caught year round in the waters surrounding Cabo. Fishing boats are available for charter and can cater to any whim you may have. You can tussle with these monster fish all day and be pampered with a catered meal once you’re done hauling them in.

4) Combining the desert, ocean, and mountains makes the Baja peninsula a beautiful and intriguing destination and provides the backdrop for many quaint villages and towns in the area that can be explored by taking day trips. Taking a drive or joining a tour to visit towns like La Paz and Todos Santos can give you a glimpse of village life in Mexico that still exists in this technological age. Exploring old church squares and local shopping areas can be a lot of fun.

5) Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming the golf capital of Mexico. It has six championship courses that are very close to each other and they all share the beauty of the area. They all have ocean views and three of them have holes right on the ocean. And while you can take advantage of these great courses now you can also look forward to more courses that are now in the planning stage. So stay tuned!

6) If you fall so in love with Cabo San Lucas that you want to come back every year, you might want to look into getting a timeshare. Vacation ownership is a way that travelers can purchase time at a resort that they will, in essence, own however many weeks a year are purchased. This has many advantages, such as guaranteeing your same accommodations every year, allowing you to “give” your week to friends or family if you won’t be using it, or trading your week to be used at another resort(although this usually requires you to be a member of a timeshare trading cooperative).

7) Cabo San Lucas has earned the reputation as a “party town” especially with the unofficial endorsement of famous rock and roller Sammy Hagar, who has adopted the town and opened up his own nightclub and restaurant there. But never fear if you don’t like the all night party scene because there is plenty to do for everyone in this great vacation destination. Cabo San Lucas has something for everyone.

Article: Cancun Mexican Vacation - What To Do and See

But the successful growth of the area and proliferation of family hotels and resorts has created a vacation destination that isn’t just a niche industry anymore. Vacationers of all tastes can find many fun and exciting activities to do while in Mexico.

There are fourteen miles of white sand beaches that make up the beachfront of Cancun on the waters of the Caribbean Sea. As you would expect from any beach resort, all the usual activities from swimming to windsurfing to parasailing can be experienced there. If you are not the adventuresome type, you are perfectly welcome to just stretch out on a cabana chair and soak up the sun while you watch everyone else exert all sorts of energy.

3) For those of you who want to spend all of your time off of the beach and out on the water, you can charter any type of boat from small motorized crafts, power boats to large fishing yachts that will take you sport fishing, snorkeling, or scuba diving. The marine life near Cancun is quite diverse among the coral reefs that are just offshore and they can offer countless adventures viewing vividly colored fish and the corals themselves.

Places like Chichen Itza and Tulum provide the echoes of this ancient civilization that thrived hundreds of years before the Conquistadors arrived in the New World.

But, there are many diverse tours that can escort you to visit these wonders and treat you to an experience that will certainly leave you impressed with the innovations developed by the Mayan people.

Especially thrilling are some of the courses built around some of the Mayan ruins, but whichever one you choose to tee off on, all of them have the most modern conveniences and features that one would expect from any private club in the United States.

6) Whether you are looking for a party, craving fun in the sun, or just looking for adventure, chances are you can find it in Cancun, Mexico.

Article: Haiwai Culture 

The beginning of a Hawaiian kingdom started in 1809 after the fall of king Kamehameha.  The new king moved to Honolulu to take control of the trade that was going on.  Honolulu was the perfect place because it was centrally located.  In the 1830’s sugar plantations were established and Honolulu became a booming city, bars and brothels alike were opened.  In 1845 Honolulu officially replaced Maui as the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii.  Because of increasing western influence, Hawaii, and most importantly Pearl Harbor, officially became a US territory in 1898.  There were several arguments, failed bills and lots of political red tape that kept Hawaii from becoming a U.S. state.

The gateway to allowing Hawaii to become an official state was tourism.  Pan American Airlines flew the first passenger flights from the mainland to Hawaii in 1936.  This led to mass tourism.  After the Korean War and the attacks on Pearl Harbor, it became imminent to make Hawaii an official state.  Hawaii was declared the 50th state on August 21, 1959.

In the 1970’s the Hawaiian culture had a resurgence of pride and heritage awareness.  The ancient Hawaiian language had all but disappeared and a huge westernization had spread across the state.  In the seventies the original Hawaiian language was reintroduced back into preschools and became an important part of the heritage again   Thanks to the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch we all know that ohana means family. Today the language is taught at the University of Hawaii as well.

The luau is also another important part of Hawaiian culture.  Luaus have been with the culture for hundreds of years.  The word luau really just means a party or a celebration.  This is the way that friends and family honor each other on special occasions.  Today there are two types of Luaus.  The first is like the original way, just a gathering of family and friends, and is the only authentic type. They are private, and unless you have local connections, it is unlikely that tourists would be invited to such an event.  The second type of Luau is commercial.  It’s the type that we tourists would frequent.  They are heavily choreographed and can be quite entertaining.  The luau usually has a buffet of some sort of roasted pig as the entrée accompanied by rice and of course pineapple.  These luaus are also complete with hula dancers for the guys and Polynesian dancers for the ladies viewing pleasure.  There is plenty of entertainment to go around, especially when you add an open bar to the mix.

The merry monarch festival was founded in 1971.  It is a hula festival; in fact it is the largest hula festival in the world.  It features thousands of dancers and honors the long time Hawaiian tradition of hula dancing.  The festival takes place in March or April and draws huge crowds.  It is located in Hilo on the big island of Hawaii and is a weeklong cultural event.
