After a few very busy days in Sinaloa, specifically Mazatlán I suddenly realized I had yet to take in a sunset. And it’s on the Pacific coast of Mexico too. But then, perhaps aided by the pearl of wisdom found in a few Oysters, I decided to not find the time, but make the time to […]

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday
by Craig Zabransky on September 11, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]

The El Fogon Conclusion – Great Tacos in Playa del Carmen
by Craig Zabransky on September 9, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel
At times walking the streets of Playa del Carmen one can start to think they are vacationing in Italy. Yes, Italy. Surprised? Well, have you been to Playa lately? Italians top the list of foreign ownership and that translates into many Italian restaurants. Pizza appears on nearly every block with pasta specials on nearly every menu across […]

Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya
by Craig Zabransky on September 7, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I reached for the large brown crayon. Not sure how to put the experience into words I started to draw. As we all opened our eyes after the Sense Adventure the guide asked us to share our thoughts on a blank comment card. And although we all experienced the same stimulation, we all reacted differently. […]
I Checked Out Hotel California, Baja California
by Craig Zabransky on September 6, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
Hotel California. We all know the Eagle’s lyrics describing a mystical place where you can check out, but truly never leave. To me that’s Mexico. So no surprise, the hotel itself resides in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Sure I left Mexico and in a way “checked out” – but did I ever leave? Nope. Not […]
Sunset Sunday – Tulum, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on September 5, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Tulum. A two hour drive south from the Cancun airport on highway 307 (the only road) transports travelers to a true Mexican Oasis. Originally popular because of its Mayan coastal ruins (a post classical period settlement) the destination provides relaxing eco-friedly retreats. A 9km stretch of boutique and chic cabanas and hotels attract visitors from […]
