Pacific hurricane season starts early
The 2012 hurricane season got off to an early start Monday when the first tropical storm of the year was named. Tropical Storm Aletta formed about 550 miles south-southwest of Acapulco, according to the National Hurricane Service. It continued to swirl over open waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean today about 810 miles south of Cabo San Lucas with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph with some higher gusts. Forecasters predict the storm will continue to track due west and pose no threat to land. The Pacific hurricane season officially began...

Although many people know how important it is to their health and well-being to keep their bodies strong, going to the gym to lift weights can become a bore. Not only is it boring to do the same thing over and over again, it is not an effective way to achieve ongoing gains in muscle mass or continued weight loss. Once muscles have learned how to do something, (ie: bench press 100 pounds), they no longer respond by growing to meet the challenge. Traditionally this means that you have to bench press 120 pounds the next time you lift to get...

The Los Cabos area is starting to attract tourists who want to go home looking younger than when they arrived. “Medical Tourism” is a fast-growing segment of the tourism market and the industry’s growth is predicted to increase rapidly as the average age of the North American tourist rises.

By Ed Kociela It seems like there’s always a reason to party in Los Cabos. Sometimes, it’s simply because you’re in Los Cabos. Sometimes, however, there’s a greater purpose. Last Thursday night there was a greater purpose. A group of Hollywood and sports celebrities got together with some big-time golf aficionados at Suviche, the classy but comfy bar and restaurant at One&Only Palmilla, the most historic resort in all of Los Cabos. It was the kickoff event for the Cabo Celebrity Invitational golf tournament hosted by Dream Homes of Cabo...

By Ed Kociela There’s something about San Jose del Cabo that touches the creative soul. Hemingway came here between books to chase marlin across the Sea of Cortes. Steinbeck came here with his friend, scientist Ed Ricketts, to collect biological specimens in the estuary. Art is in San Jose del Cabo’s blood. That’s why now, the city’s heart beats vigorously as a new generation of artists look to the small, crowded streets for inspiration. There are many tourist destinations on the map that dedicate a little corner of their world to art....
