Sunset Sunday – San Sebastian, Spain

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

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

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 […]
