Letter from the Editor - November 2006

W

And welcome to just the beginning…as we kick off our eighth season here in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, so the saying goes. That can be either an exciting or a scary proposition. It all depends on the state of your life, the state of your retirement planning, or just the state of you and your outlook on change. Change, it is the one constant on a planet that hurtles around a sun, in an organism comprised of billions or pieces, parts and cells—all in constant motion...change it is what happens.

Here at ADIP, we embrace change—we jump right in with both feet. ‘Cause well…we have short attention spans…and often times, change gives something better, an opportunity to arrive. In a seasonal town, November is a little like New Year’s Eve. November is when the new season starts, the time to scheme and dream and make big plans about all the new, bigger, better and more glorious things you will do this year. If you are contemplating a big change in your life, perhaps a retirement or vacation home in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, then you’ll be happy to know we have an entire issue of fun facts, and useful information to help you on your way. If the changes you are contemplating at the moment are not so drastic, perhaps merely a change of scenery, a change of opinion…perhaps a change of cocktail. (Looking for a unique signature cocktail that will define you? Ehh, with re-invention all things are possible, may I suggest the Whiskey Daisy.)

Regardless of what you are looking for, we are sure you will find a little bit of something you just might need here. And the simple truth is, whether you like it or not, something today will change for you…
