Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Houston Airport (IAH)

Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Houston Airport (IAH)

Returning from Mazatlan, Mexico I connected through Houston. The stop reminded me to put the John Huston directed Under the Volcano on my Netflix list. I did The film Takes place in 1938 Cuernavaca on the Day of the Dead, a holiday I had just observed in Mexico. But the main character’s day was a bit […]

Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca

Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca

On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset with San Pascual Bailón, the Chef’s Saint, Puerto Vallarta

The International Gourmet Food Festival just concluded in Puerto Vallarta. Last year I attended the multi (chef) star studded event and tasted specialities not just from the chefs who call Puerto Vallarta home, but from others who visit and take over kitchens and menus at some of the region’s best restaurants. It’s widely discussed and […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

Sunset Sunday – Sunset in Windhoek, Namibia

I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]

A Hike on the Red Sand Dunes of Sossusvlei

A Hike on the Red Sand Dunes of Sossusvlei

After the drinks arrived we started discussing Namibia with our server. She shared her experiences and told us a key point, make sure you run down the sand dunes. Miles away both physically and mentally we sipped cocktails at the Grand in Camps Bay, Cape Town. In just a few days we’d put on hiking […]

Travel Contest – Win Two Nights at the Courtyard by Marriott

Travel Contest – Win Two Nights at the Courtyard by Marriott

I started to sign-off my emails with “stay adventurous” when I was working as global management consultant. I had selected that profession because it afforded me the opportunity to travel and work in the world’s most dynamic cities. With those adventures, I spent many, many nights in hotels. After ten years I knew hotel brands, developed […]

Sunset Sunday – The Sunset Adventure at Sossusvlei Lodge in Namibia

After the day spent hiking the insanely incredible red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, I returned to the lodge. Next up – a special sunset adventure. The Sossusvlei Lodge offered an afternoon adventure tour designed to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I signed up. And after the prior day’s Namibian sunset in Sossusvlei, I was […]
