Sunset Sunday – Amsterdam

Sunset Sunday – Amsterdam

On a cold, cloud filled April afternoon in Amsterdam, the rain showers (even hail) soaked the streets and pestered the pedestrians. Although bikes still out numbered the compact cars most tourists and locals hop on foot from cafe to coffee shop in search of warmth, conversation and the favorable local fare. But with the day […]

Sunset Sunday – Kayak in the Keys

Sunset Sunday – Kayak in the Keys

Kayak. If you ever picked up a paddle and stroked the water to propel yourself forward to explore, then you know. You know that some of the best memories of your travels come from the adventures afloat. Whether the stillness of nature, the rapids of a river, or the majesty of nature that surrounds, you […]

A Charity Casting Contest at Fat Buoyz

A Charity Casting Contest at Fat Buoyz

At first, when I heard “casting contest,” I wondered if reality TV decided to come to the Florida Keys.  After so much time down here, I truly believe a show about life on the souther tip of Florida can top the nielsen ratings. But just steps away from Islamorada, the “Sports Fishing Capital of the […]

Sunset Sunday – The Florida Keys Oceanside Sunset View

Sunset Sunday – The Florida Keys Oceanside Sunset View

Times exist when you wonder. You stare at the sky and wonder if the sun has already set or if the day still “officially” holds a few minutes.  You can’t see the sun dip over the horizon. Many times this winter in Florida Keys I found myself on the “oceanside” and not the “bayside” with […]

Sunset Sunday – San Sebastian, Spain

People always ask me, “What is your favorite destination?”  To be honest, I don’t have a specific answer. I cannot say just one place. One time. One trip.  Every place contains charm. Every place provides pleasure when exploring, and truthfully everyplace holds place in my heart. A memory. A moment. But, (yes a but) some […]

Sunset Sunday – Poolside in Los Cabos, Mexico

On the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos offers tourists numerous options to pass the day. But whether it is a day at Medano Beach with cervezas and jet skis, or a day at sea watching the wonder of the whales that migrate from the Arctic seas, every day becomes night with the sunset. […]

Green, the new color of Travel?

Green, the new color of Travel?

Green; the color of money (in the US), the color of envy? the color of energy? Maybe all three? Maybe you have none? But actually ‘green’ also seems to be becoming the color of travel. Words like “sustainability,” “organic” and “eco-tourism” are more and more prevalent each and every day.  We all read them on travel websites […]

Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier

Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier

The magic of a sunset seems to multiply on the water.  And when you climb aboard a sailboat, well that may just be the ultimate. During my time in the Florida Keys this month I discovered Sunshine Sailing in the upper keys (MM 94.5) and just yesterday Captain Jennifer MacLean, a women of (and) the […]
