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 […]

by Craig Zabransky on January 23, 2014 in Beach
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 […]

by Craig Zabransky on January 22, 2014 in Photo
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.

by Craig Zabransky on January 15, 2014 in Beach
Langkawi, an island off the west coast of Malaysia (close to the Thai border) is a popular holiday spot.

by Craig Zabransky on January 2, 2014 in Beach
It was my first trip to the gulf coast of Florida. The plane landed in Tampa Bay just 30 minutes from Clearwater and my first National Super Boat Championship.
