The Grand Time of Camps Bay

I arrived in Camps Bay, the glitzy oceanfront neighborhood of Cape Town a few hours early. And after finding the restaurant slated for dinner, I decided to walk along the seashore and pass time. The roar of the ocean, the smell of the Atlantic, and the refreshing afternoon breeze put my mind very far away […]

The Royale with Cheese, Cape Town’s Best Burger

The burger. Regardless of where you are in the States, you can usually find a good, even a great burger place. Yet, such a quest can prove rather challenging outside America. Even in destination where you sink your teeth into the very best steak on the planet, as in Argentina (I lived in Buenos Aires nearly two months), the burger […]

Sunset Sunday – Blue Train, South Africa

In Africa, I dreamed of safari, sunsets, soccer (World Cup) and deep discovery into my soul. I found it all and more. But one surprise for me, and my Stay Luxurious side was passage on South Africa’s Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town. The invitation, experience, and twenty-eight elegant hours I received, remain one […]

A Lesson University Can Teach Us All.

As the Master’s Golf tournament is set to start, I am reminded of a post I wrote two years ago. A time, when I just returned from Detroit and watched my team play for a national championship in college basketball. My school Villanova lost, but the experience stayed with me.  It was more than just […]

Sunset Sunday – Savannah, Georgia

Last April, I discovered a true southern gem. I visited Savannah, Georgia.  I spent a few days exploring the colonial city filled with American history, haunted tales, and southern hospitality. The walkable streets and city squares set a slower speed as trees covered with Spanish moss set a mood of mystery and intrigue.  There is […]

Three Mexican Beaches on TripFilms

Although not specifically outlined in my goals for 2011, creating more video more (or really some) video for my site is part of my goals.

Sunset Sunday – Estrella del Mar, Mazatlán

After a few hours relaxing in the sun, I received a phone call poolside. It felt like a 1960s film as the attendant asked, “Sir, are you Craig Zabransky?” and then upon my acknowledgement they told me, “You have a phone call.” Apparently, they’d tried my room a few times, but with perfect weather and […]
