I arrived mid-afternoon to check in and asked, “What time does the sun set?” Puzzled, the staff of the Villa Blanca Hotel responded with a surprised look. Si (yes) they understood my English. It seemed as if everyone in Costa Rica did (although for the record, I spoke much Spanish). The surprised look was because […]

Is Visiting Lakeshore Beaches in Autumn Really Visiting the Beach? – A Trip to Glimmerglass State Park
Growing up, going to the beach basically meant heading to the ocean. Saltwater and waves. It also meant warm weather – summer. Lakes and rivers (freshwater) or even a waveless ocean beach (except for an idyllic beach like the Gili Islands or Half Moon Cay) were not beaches. Neither was a visit in the fall […]
The Five-Arctic Adventures in Churchill Manitoba
I never thought I would visit the edge of the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. Nope. I never thought I’d brave -40 degree temperature either, but I did. You might too if you had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in Churchill. Yes, they were amazing. Beyond amazing, but my trip was […]
Super Bowl Sunset Sunday – Go Seattle Seahawks!
This Sunday the sun sets on the 2013-14 NFL campaign with Super Bowl in East Rutherford, NJ, but pop the bubbly my team, the Seattle Seahawks are playing for the trophy. They’ve come to New York, my town, to play for a chance to be crowned Super Bowl Champions. Awesome. As a child I grew […]
Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa
After a visit to Sentosa I would have bet the translation of the word into English was “sensation.” Singapore’s amusement resort, created for all ages, provides stimulation at every turn. Ironically it translates to “peace and harmony,” but I guess a certain tranquility exists in all places where the land meets the sea. The original […]
Sunset Sunday – The New York State Thruway Rest Area Sunset
When driving great distances, although be it infrequently, I often make a stop around sunset. No surprise, I take in the sunset wherever I can, especially when traveling. Yes, this includes rest stops on a thruway, and isn’t that what we do when we watch a sunset? Don’t we all pause, rest and recharge? I […]
Costa Rica’s Best Beach? – The Virgin Beaches of the Osa Peninsula
If Costa Rica and the Pura Vida way of life is on your travel list, make sure your visit includes time in the Osa Penninsula. On my first trip, to Costa Rica (my travel sabbatical) I didn’t get a chance to visit this remote spot teeming with wildlife, but on my most recent trip I […]
Postcard-Inuit Modern Art
Sculptures made from whale bones may seem like an ancient practice, but in northern Canada, not until the “western way” transformed the original native (or aboriginal as labeled in Canada) culture and way of life have locals carved such massive pieces of art. It’s modern art (20th century). The indigenous culture and its nomadic way […]
