La Playa San Juan

¡Well, it’s not really official until the summer is actually over but for most people the summer vacations of 2008 have come and gone. Goodbye to lazy days in the beach, late nights, pool parties, dinners with friends, travels to distant places.. It’s all over.

Ok, let’s not be that drastic.. Although, reality sets back in, kids are back in school, you are back at work, we still have the dim memories of all the fun we had and great times we spent with friends and family. Now, we must wait paintently until the next little break we get. We here in Playa San Juan don’t really say goodbye to all those things, we are fortunate to still be able to enjoy the beach all year long.. and for those who still have some vacation left, traveling this time of year is cheaper and less hectic.. So, all is not lost…

Bueno, tampoco hay que ser tan drásticos, aunque las actividades ociosas cesaran hasta las proximas vacaciones, aun tenemos fresco en la memoria los mementos agradables pasados con la familia, amigos, los lugares visitados y todo lo que nos divertimos durante éste tiempo. Ahora los niños regresan al cole, nosotros al trabajo y la vida toma su curso normal. Por nuestra parte, los que vivimos aquí en Playa San Juan, somos algo más afortunados, disfrutamos de la playa y el sol todo el año; péro como siempre hay un consuelo a vosotros los que marchais os podemos decir que nos visiten de nuevo aunque sea en unas mini-vacacciones, los pasajes seran más baratos y fáciles de conseguir y hay menos “barullo”. ¡Los esperamos!

Happy September everyone!!

Feliz mes de Septiembre a todos

Ánec group once again presents the new Playa San Juan volley tournament, this time uniting two beach sports; Tennis and Beach Volleyball, on the 13th and 14th of September, 2008. The competitions will take place in an area near the seafront of our city and will be given wide coverage both on radio and TV. In addition to the various games played (one day for each sport) there will be lots of music and gifts. These sports are becoming very fashionable (beach volleyball was an Olympic sport this year) and are exciting to watch as well as to play.

This tournament is sponsored by Alicante City Hall, but the organization seeks more sponsors in order to give this tournament more national and international projection . If you are interested in sponsoring these great events please get in contact with Anec and help promote activities in Playa San Juan.

One of the most commonly used means of transportation in our area is undoubtedly the Tram (fgv), you can get to the centre of Alicante in a short time at a reasonable price and solves the parking problem that exists in the capital. As many as 1.6 million passengers have used it since 2003 when it first became operational. The TRAM, communicates to various locations in the area among other lines is the Postiguet-Campello and communicating with the center-Cabo Huertas La Playa San Juan. Overall users approve this transportation means but there are a few complaints such as the late arrival of the Tram sometimes by 20 minutes, and the wrong information given on the informative screen that confuse and aggravate passengers.

Anyway we think that there are many more benefits than disadvantages, and we are confident that through better organization and a little supervision those little faults could be solved. Either way the TRAM has helped many people here in Playa San Juan connect with Alicante in an easy an affordable manner. We love it.

Ok, it seems that technology nowadays is growing by the minute by the time you learn a new web application or any computer program the next version is already out and you need to upgrade, re learn the software, uninstall the old one, make sure things are compatible with each other, then you find out things don’t work right.. and on and on in a vicious aggravating circle that never ends..

Having said all that, Google has just launched their new navigator called Chrome which I must say is pretty cool. Another navigator you might ask? Yes, there are many out there such and Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari to name a few. I’m currently using Firefox and today decided to download Chrome to see what it was all about. I was very impressed, it is faster than Firefox and has several cool features..but for now I will stick with Firefox until Chrome is a little more developed.

And why am I telling you all this? Well, depending on what navegator you use, each web page you visit might have a different apperance. Most web designers attempt to make their web pages similar in all navigators but sometimes there are gitches and things don’t look right. That is the case with this blog, if you are viewing it from Internet Explorer you will see our logo is too big and off to the top, there is only one sidebar instead of two and many other things I don’t even want to get into…with Firefox it looks much better..

It doesn’t matter what navigator you use and long as you try new things and figure out which one is the perfect one for you..
