My first full day in Puebla I attended the 2nd annual FMGM (Foro Mundial Gastronomia Mexicana), a conference aimed to preserve Mexico’s Culinary Traditions. When the day was coming to a close and I decided to head outside during the golden hour. I thought I’d watch the sunset from outside the halls of the presentations […]

Barcelona to Valencia, Three Stops on a Spanish East Coast Road Trip
by Craig Zabransky on February 26, 2015 in Destination
Driving Spain is a great way to explore the country. The open road offers a freedom from schedule and the chance to visit lesser-known Spain. After time exploring the beauty of Barcelona, a city I definitely would recommend you not drive as a visitor (not sure I’d recommend driving any city actually), you can rent […]
Considering a New Tablet or Notebook? – Test Driving the Dell XPS
by Craig Zabransky on February 25, 2015 in Product Review
So I’ve been debating purchasing a tablet or a new slim notebook for a while. I even wondered, can I just use a “super-sized” smartphone? And do I leave Apple too? All good questions. I wasn’t sure exactly what to do, but now I am taking a look at the new Dell XPS Ultrabook. With […]
Exploring the Mayan Ruins of Riviera Maya with a Car is Easy and Safe
by Craig Zabransky on February 23, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel
A trip to the Riviera Maya is not complete without a visit to Mayan Ruins. There are plenty to choose from, but for first timers, a visit to one of the “Big Three” Chichen Itza, Tulum or Coba is a great way to start your exploration. Although tours can take you to each of these […]

Relaxing at the Beach in Crete, the Knossos Beach Bungalows
by Craig Zabransky on February 12, 2015 in Beach
I’d never consider a trip to Greece solely a beach holiday, but I certainly would plan time on the beach. And when you visit the island of Crete you can certainly find your beach. For me, I spent my beach time mostly at the Knossos Beach Bungalows and Suites. Walking distance to a sleepy beach […]
Sunset Sunday, A Warming Winter Sunset from the Pocono Mountains
by Craig Zabransky on February 1, 2015 in Sunset Sunday
For January, I can complain about the chilly near zero temperatures or the seemingly constant snow shoveling, but I chose to spend most of the month in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. I chose to experience winter and actually, I enjoyed it. I watched deer search for food through the snow outside the window, experienced […]
The Dreams (Resort) Beaches of the Riviera Maya
by Craig Zabransky on January 29, 2015 in Beach, Mexico Travel
On my recent visit through the Riviera Maya, good fortune enabled me to stay at two separate Dreams Resorts. Yes, I was certainly “living the dream”. On both properties I enjoyed spending time poolside, but when heading to the Mexico’s Riviera Maya, a trip to the beach is a must. Dreams Tulum Beach Just a […]
