Vacation rentals in Mesa

YES! I AM OPERATING! Guests of the King Bee Adventure Club will meet at a predetermined starting point along our most popular recreational river. A thorough tutorial will take place to familiarize beginners with the requirements and set expectations. Everything needed to safely navigate our waterways will be provided as well as helpful hands along the way as needed. Having spent many years traveling this stretch of water we will be able to share facts regarding the local wildlife and landscape. You will enjoy a relaxing controlled paddling float along the calm lazy river. Once the trip has concluded a rideshare will be provided to return guests to their vehicles. Other things to note This experience has a modular aspect. Once you book the date we will be in close contact to discuss any special needs or requests you may have. If you have concerns regarding your skill level in relation to other guests in attendance or wish to alter the duration of the experience please consider the "Private Group" booking option to enjoy a more private personalized experience (For a few extra bucks you dont have to worry about the opinions of strangers!)

After pausing a year for Covid, we're finally back due to popular demand. We've also moved our biplane flight lesson to historic Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. In this experience you will be exposed to flying in open cockpit biplane (Stearman) over the beautiful mountains, northeast of Mesa. The Stearman was used as a primary training airplane for most of the pilots during WWII, so you will be learning in an authentic piece of history. There are only 2 seats in the plane, one for you and one for me. We'll start with a pre-flight inspection followed by an explanation of the radios and controls. We can fly smooth and level if you like, or we can add in some more energetic maneuvers for those that desire a more thrilling experience. You will be invited to take the controls as part of the lesson. From engine start to return will take approximately 30 minutes. This is a unique experience where you will be exposed to the same type of training that the "Greatest Generation" did during World War II. Flying and training in the Stearman is like traveling back in time nearly 80 years. This experience would certainly make a most memorable gift for birthdays, weddings, holidays, anniversaries, graduations, or "just because". It's also a great gift for the pilot who has everything. A Hold Harmless agreement will need to be signed before flying.

After the first 5 minutes of warm-up/Isolation which is a practice of moves of your body parts to parts in music to make rhythm, our Kpop dance instructors will teach you today's choreography (mainly the chorus part) step by step and we all will dance with the actual music. Optional filming of your dance covers at the end is included and you can watch them on the next day posted on our Facebook group, “Arizona Kpop Dance Workshop”. We are dancing different songs/artists every two weeks (4 classes total per a song). Please keep in mind that Kpop dance isn’t easy and 1 hour workshop might not be enough time to master today’s choreography for some people. After 4 classes in 2 weeks, I usually make a tutorial video and post on YouTube as well as on TikTok (@rinaohkuma). Please feel free to use them to master the dance if you would like to! You can also join our Facebook group, “Arizona Kpop Dance Workshop” to participate or relearn the dance moves for free as I always go on the live stream during the class. We have learned and danced more than 50 Kpop songs this past 2 years such as from BLACKPINK, EXO, BTS and more!

Today we will create a sterling silver ring that incorporates a stone-setting for a piece of Arizona turquoise from Kingman, AZ. This turquoise is AAA grade and hand cut and picked for color and quality. In our 3 hours together, we will learn to size, texture, form, and solder our ring. We will then use a bezel setting to hold the stone and apply it to the ring. Polishing the piece is next and then we will set the stone to complete this unique ring for you to wear home or give as a gift for that someone special. Take a piece of Arizona turquoise home in a ring that you created in this exciting and hands-on jewelry adventure. Please keep in mind that each piece of turquoise is hand-cut and polished, variations in size, shape and color occur. I will have several for you to choose from. :) Other things to note Closed toed shoes are required. Long hair should be tied back, or guest should bring a hair-tie.

The experience is about awakening your 5 senses, you will learn the few steps to make, shape and bake a baguette, make butter, and finally eat your masterpiece during a wonderful lunch together! We will start with coffee and French crêpes: This light breakfast will be a great introduction to French culture and a perfect time for all of us to get to know each other before starting the workshops. We will start with making the dough and shape it into baguettes, we will make butter, we will learn sabrage, over the lake in my backyard, you know, that's the art of opening a bottle of Champagne with a saber. We will learn to score, steam and bake the baguettes and we will finally eat our creations in a wonderful sit down bistro lunch. Following the new Covid 19 guidances, I will serve each of you keeping in mind that safety and cleanness in my house is a priority. We will have choices of cured meats and cheeses and devour our home made baguettes with our own homemade organic butter. You also will be able to bring complimentary Baguette/s as well as great memories to your family! Please don't hesitate to contact me for private groups inquires! Take the time to read my guests reviews, they are very insightful!
