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 […]

Canadian Giants

Canadian Giants

Canada. Majestic landscape, hockey, and as any New Yorker knows, (but doesn’t care to admit) the better side of Niagara Falls. And now as Vancouver plays host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, nightly we all learn more. As a frequent traveler to the ‘Great White North’ I can offer advice on Canada, but I wonder […]

Sunset Sunday – The Greek Isle of Paxos

Sunset Sunday – The Greek Isle of Paxos

The sunset seduces. Few moments of the day hold such magic. On Valentine’s Day many people will share that magic, that romance, with someone special. One evening, that special sensation hit me harder than my second glass of Ouzo. Here, on the cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, I watched the sun descend from the island […]

A Baja Sur Surf Spot

A Baja Sur Surf Spot

I woke to the cool Baja breeze coupled with the distant sounds of Pacific surf. Poured a fresh cup of java that the amiable staff delivered to my room along with a fresh fruit plate that included my favorite – papaya,  graced my comfortable robe and stepped out on the terrace.  The ocean view refreshed. […]

Sunday Sunset – Puerto Vallarta

Sunday Sunset – Puerto Vallarta

This week Sunset Sunday takes us to my days in Mexico. Here I sat on the sands of ‘playa de los muertos,’ south of the river in Puerto Vallarta after a refreshing late afternoon swim. I enjoyed this very view over a bucket of coronitas (7oz Coronas) with the sounds of the local Mariachi band. The […]

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

The Sunset. That word alone makes us smile. We are warmed by a memory; we recall a time, a place, a moment. What is Sunset Sunday? The daily descent delights differently, but is universally positive. The sunset remains one of the most celebrated moments of the day. For me, it surprises, seduces, and slows.  And I […]

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

Click. I hung up the phone with Delta. Thirty-five thousand sky miles, all earned as a management consultant exchanged for a round trip ticket to San Jose, Costa Rica. This time – no assignment; my travel was personal and with purpose. Turning back was no longer an option. The travel sabbatical I talked about for […]
