The host of the tournament is Remax Playa, a local real estate sales company in Playa del Carmen.  The Greg Norman designed golf course is probably the finest in the area.

El Camaleón Golf Course at the Mayakoba resort is Greg Norman's latest masterwork. The 7,000-yard layout is unique - not just to Mexico but to the entire world of golf. The course bends through three distinct landscapes - mangrove jungles, limestone canals and stunning, oceanfront stretches of sand. El Camaleón incorporates a cenote, a massive underground cavern, into the heart of the opening fairway.

The Children of Colonia Puerto Morelos need OUR help!

A note from Elizabeth Gregg at Elimar Properties

Dear Good Friends, Mario and I have been living in Playa Paraiso for 3 years.  Our house keeper Viki Perez has been with us since day one.  She not only helps 2 busy Realtors by keeping our house clean but she has also helped a new mom (me) raise our beautiful 2 year old daughter Leila.  Vicki has been through several health crisis and many personal family hardships in the time we have known her and we have always done the most we could to help her in every way possible.  Viki means a lot to us.
 
Last year she told us about an event in Colonia Puerto Morelos (West-Side of 307).  Every December 24th the town gets together to give each child under 5 years of age a Christmas gift.  Most of the children will not receive anything in their home, Viki told us........"...its just a little way to show the children that someone cares."   She doesn´t have enough to create a recognized affiliated event, so its just a group of neighbors who do their best.  Last year she was embarrassed to ask for help and many of the little ones were turned away without a gift!  Its difficult to hold back tears when you think of those sad little faces.

How debt consolidation can help you before investing in Real Estate

by Nancy Smith

Sometimes it may happen that your unsecured loan payments get out of control because of the loan payment obligation attached to your real estate property. In such situation you can opt for consolidation of all your unsecured loans.

It is really tough for an individual to lead a happy life with huge amount of debt. If you have lots of debt, you are always worried about the harassment of collection agencies, their phone calls at your home and even at your work. You might think of filing bankruptcy to get rid of this situation, but before taking the final decision you should know the bad effects of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy hurts your credit negatively and it will be difficult for you to get further loans with poor or bad credit report. So if you think that you are in huge debt and find it tough to pay all your loans in full then debt consolidation is the best way that you can go for. Sometimes you may think whether to opt for debt settlement or debt consolidation. In this situation you must know the advantages of settlement and consolidation. After that you decide which one is perfect for you.
