Dear Dave,
 
While the weather is still good, we are still exploring local parks, hikes and walks.  Here is a photo of Lightning Lake in Manning Provincial Park.

Of course having said that, in the middle of the month, we were locked inside due to the extremely unhealthy smoky air from the Oregon and Washington wildfires, as well as a local toxic fire at our riverside pier. Here is what it looked like when we tried to get out one day to a local beach...

 
Here is one of my favourite birds, a Wood Duck, at Beaver Lake in Stanley Park.

I hope you are able to still get out and safely enjoy your local area with your family and don't touch this poisonous toadstool!

ElCidEl Cid Resorts -  Canadian Honeymooner's Testimonial
Honeymooners Steph and Bryce O'Reilly, from Vancouver, enjoyed their time at the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort last month. 

They were totally comfortable and happy with the service and safety protocols in place so they could relax and enjoy their honeymoon. Check out their 1 ˝ minute testimonial HERE.
 

And don't forget the all El Cid Resorts are open as of July 1, in accordance with all local and federal requirements and their own "Always Committed" program.  This re-opening follows all the safety and hygiene protocols established by the World Health Organization (WHO), in addition Preverisk and Cristal (Riviera Maya) guidelines.

 
"Always Committed" is clearly explained in this 88 second "client friendly" video HERE.

HERE are some of the new standards we are implementing to offer safe vacation experiences to our guests in our properties in Mazatlán, Cancún-Riviera Maya and Cozumel.
 
A few of the hygiene protocols include:
-        All staff will wear masks, gloves and when necessary protective masks.
-        Physical distancing is enforced in all areas.
-        Placement of antibacterial gel in all "guest contact" areas.
 
We want you to be able to sell any of the El Cid Resorts properties with confidence.


 

Of course, now may be a GREAT time to check your El Cid Rewards balance and use some point with some fun online shopping.  Check out your balance at the El Cid Rewards Program


 

Note that bookings must be made through any Tour Operator such: Sunwing, WestJet, etc. Bookings made it through online companies such: Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com will not be applicable to El Cid Rewards points.
SViet REALISTIC ASIA - Top Vietnamese Cultural Shows And Performances
 
Most visitors enjoy experiencing and learning about local cultures when traveling. Even when I was in Vietnam last, I totally enjoyed an evening of amazing acrobatics at the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House.

 
Vietnam has such a rich cultural heritage and most of Realistic Asia's guests are able to enjoy a multitude of local cultural experiences during their tours of Vietnam. Guests can enjoy activities such as:
Traditional Vietnamese Water puppets

 
Quintessence Tonkin

 
Hoi An Memories show

 
You can learn more about a number of Vietnamese cultural activities and the appropriate Realistic Asia tours HERE.
 

Realistic Asia has a blog update that is regularly updates HERE.  

You can also check out the latest Trip Advisor reviews for Realistic Asia HERE.
