A Lovely Beach in Key Largo, Florida Keys

A Lovely Beach in Key Largo, Florida Keys

For those who don’t know the Florida Keys, they might picture idyllic beaches for leisure, but actually the Florida Keys are much more popular for boating, fishing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, and even jet-skiing on the water.

Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World

Sunset Sunday – A Tulum Sunrise for the New Era in the Mayan World

The sun rose on December 21st; the world didn’t end.  Some feared the end with the “end” of the Mayan Calendar in 2012, but others welcomed it as a new era began.  So to celebrate, honor, and welcome this shift in time, I wanted to share a rare (for me) sunrise (instead of a sunset) […]

Two Days at Tikal – The Mayan Ruins in the Jungle of Guatemala

Located in the jungles of Guatemala, the relatively remote Mayan Ruins of Tikal are impressive. I spent the better part of two days inside the grounds and still didn’t see everything.

I often wonder why major resorts build on beaches without  a view of a sunset.  It would be one of my “requirements.” However, after my first walk on the soft sands of the beaches at the Grand Palladium Resort in Punta Cana I was reminded of another important requirement – a beautiful beach location. One […]

On a trip to Thailand, I spent some time in Bangkok. And one day I left the city to visit  the old Thai capital of Ayutthaya. Before I walked through the ruins and took dozens of images of the Buddha, I snapped this image of a large reclining Buddha… stay adventurous, Craig  

Sunset Sunday – Hill Country Sunset in San Antonio, TX

Sunset Sunday – Hill Country Sunset in San Antonio, TX

Sometimes a sunset finds you. Originally, I thought my chances for a magical sunset in the hill country of Texas were above average. Sure, I wanted to catch one more central to San Antonio, but my schedule didn’t allow it (this trip) so I stayed out in the “hill country” and asked the concierge of […]
