Sports Package

Posted by Von Battle

My husband had the direct TV Albuquerque site up and was showing me different packages. He was really pushing for the sports channels package. He likes nearly all sports it seems. He wants to be able to watch tennis matches, basketball games, football games and he said he would even like to watch things like diving. I asked him when he would have time for me or anything else! I was just teasing him because I know how much he enjoys sports. He played many of them in school.

He was on the football team in high school and played center on the basketball team. He always talks about the year the basketball team won the local district championships. They ended up going to the state competition, but lost in a heartbreaking game. He definitely already talks about sports a majority of the time. He will read articles on different websites to figure out who won what game and what happened in each. I think he would like to watch the games instead. Watching a game and reading about it is a very different experience. His first choice would be going to every game, but since we can’t afford that, I think the sports channel package may be a good idea after all.


Is Sustainable Tourism Possible ?

This is a pretty fair question, knowing well that the future’s security depends heavily on our current actions. We simply need to make tourism sustainable so that our kids and grandkids can have the opportunity to see the beauty of the world. Making tourism sustainable is not even that hard, all it takes is a little commitment from every traveler.

sustainable tourismSimple actions can go a long way when it comes to making tourism sustainable. Bringing your trash with you when you’re on the beach and disposing them in the right places will ensure that our seas don’t end receiving all our garbage. You can even pick a few along the way.

Speaking of beaches and seas, stop collecting those corals! Corals are meant for fishes, and they are meant to stay underwater, not in your living room. Respect the rules of the island and you can be sure that you can go for snorkeling and diving with your kids one day.

When you’re up in the mountains, make sure that you respect nature at all times. Don’t leave your trash, remember that there are no janitors or floor sweepers to climb and clean after you. Don’t go getting some random leaf to take home as souvenirs. A random leaf or flower may be a pretty souvenir to you, which will last you a week, but it may be home to many wonderful insects.

You should always support local tourism by buying local products, eating at local restaurants and hiring local guides with you. It doesn’t only help sustainability, it also adds certain local flavor to your trip.

The Safe Way to Explore

From an early age, children are driven by their inquisitive nature to explore everything around them and sometimes this can lead to injuries. It is the parents’ responsibility to look after the little one, but despite the best intentions, there will be plenty of occasions when they evade their sight. The only way to make sure that this won’t happen, without impairing your freedom is to acquire a baby carrier.
