SPRING BREAK IN ROCKY POINT, OPEN LETTER #2

Here's a great response to the open letter from last week about Spring Break in Rocky Point:

http://media.wildcat.arizona.edu/media/storage/paper997/news/2009/02/12/News/Dean-Issues.Travel.Warning-3626787.shtml

I found this on the school's website. The frickin' dean (I wanted to use the real words) should be ashamed of herself, the assistant dean too! They preach about warnings and the students being informed and, they cannot even provide accurate information themselves. They obviously live in a fog, under the US media bubble. They are totally misinformed about Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) and Mexico in general.

I think I will send this to a few others who might like to see it, who are pro-Rocky Point. Let's use our media connections to put a stop to people like the dean and co. You would think a dean of students would be more educated before issuing such a grossly one-sided warning. Do they not know the problem lies within the United States and their need for drugs? Students are waaaaay safer in Mexico than, in the states. But, you wont hear that on the news. Good press doesn't sell papers. Ex. you wont hear about the million successful and welcoming border crossings each day but, you will hear, about the guys who got caught smuggling drugs into the US to a bunch of crackheads. I could go on but wont. WE ARE BETTER OFF IN MEXICO.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

ROCKY POINT GEARING UP FOR SPRING BREAK 2009

I love this open letter - I know it's long, but it's worth the read:

I am appalled that each year that the powers that be send out scare tactics to the people that want to come to Puerto Penasco for Spring Break. Never ever do you send this information out to your students during the year at any other time. People are here every weekend to enjoy the beaches and all the great food, drinks and the fun and beaches that Rocky Point has to offer.
There is not more DUIs, stupid stuff, jail time and uninsured motorist that have any more problems than here in Mexico. People killed on ATCs, drownings from jumping in the water at let's say, Havasu, San Diego, Snow Bowl, the Dunes in Yuma, etc. Sensationalism is all part of your news and it hurts your creditability, tourism in the US as well as here in Mexico. Unless you know first hand, you should keep your fingers off of the computer.
Remember Florida when 600 people were killed a month because of the Cuban Drug Cartels? More people were killed than ever before here in all of Sonora, Mexico. Check your files.
I understand that you are trying to keep all of the money that is going to be spent in Mexico for Spring Break and keep it in the U.S. Lying and scaring people away from having a great vacation is not a honest and true way to help your students and the parents of those they support.
Yes, bad things will and always happen to those that do drugs, drive at night, hang out in bad places and look for trouble. Pick any country and that will happen...including and more sooooo in the United States. Look at your local news and U will see more in one day than you will see in Puerto Penasco. Geez, Hunting Beach has more deaths and problems than we have in our whole city all year!
I invite you to come to Rocky Point and meet all of the people here, the local Police, the Special Tourist Police that all speak English and visit the major local Spring Break attractions where all of your students and families come to see and enjoy. I will certainly pay for your accommodations and set up meetings with all of the local authorities.
Otherwise, if you will not come and see first hand for your report and news, I suggest that you stop reporting on Rocky Point and the security, Police and advantages of driving 4 hours to a great location on the Sea of Cortez.
Regards,
Gregg

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Be happy. Talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yoursðnever doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Your success and happiness lie in you. The great enduring realities are love and service. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

Are you kidding me? Check out this article from Rocky Point News Online

Individuals driving the vehicles tried to return to the Mexican side of the river, but two of them were unable to keep going, forcing all the smugglers to take off on foot.
The suspects were not apprehended, but upon searching the pickup trucks, Border Patrol agents found 325 packages of marijuana totaling almost 2 tons, with a street value of 2.8 million dollars in the U.S.
