When the tight-knit Sonoran Resorts sales team decided to throw a surprise birthday party for their lovable multi-tasking sales admin assistant, Laura Valencia, they handled it with the same cool professionalism and warm family style harmony with which they handle their professional relations—cooperation, thoroughness and a dash of colorful Pizzazz!
I have become a Sonoran Sky Stalker (ok, not in a bad creepy way though). The live view cam over their pool deck is my lifeline to the beach. When I sit at my desk and it is 110’ outside (or more) I know that my favorite beach is only a four hour drive away.

Results from the scores of ten judges made after a blind reading of the 26 stories that qualified for the finals are now in and tabulated. The competition was as close as we thought it would be, with only a few points differentiating the second through fifth highest scoring stories. The Grand Prize winner’s story (published below) seemed to capture the hearts of the judges as it was a clear winner!
The contest ended in a flurry at midnight last night (Wednesday October 10, 2012) with several last minute entries arriving before the deadline. In about five days we’ll be announcing the winners of the Sonoran Resorts’ “Best Job in the World” Travel Writing contest, and the competition is going to very close!

If you’ve been putting off finishing the story about your favorite memory of Rocky Point, you still have approximately 48 hours (depending on when you read this blog) to get your story into us for consideration and possibly winning the Best Job in the World travel writing assignment that includes two weeks in a Luxury Sonoran Sky Resort Condominium suite right on Sandy Beach of the Sea of Cortez in lovely Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico, plus $50 US Dollars per day to spend as you wish while writing just five travel stories about your trip while you are here.
