Langkawi, an island off the west coast of Malaysia (close to the Thai border) is a popular holiday spot. Although you don’t find many Americans on the island it is very safe for US travelers and English is widely spoken. I spent four days on the island, which included my birthday. I decided to stay […]

Florida’s Best Beach Town – Clearwater, FL and a Day at the Super Boat Races
by Craig Zabransky on January 2, 2014 in Beach
It was my first trip to the gulf coast of Florida. The plane landed in Tampa Bay just 30 minutes from Clearwater and my first National Super Boat Championship.

Tulum – the Mayan Beach at Equinox
by Craig Zabransky on March 21, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel
Equinox. Whether spring or fall I often find myself thinking of the knowledge found inside the Mayan Culture. And one day I’d like to be in the Riviera Maya for the feather serpent of light in Chichen Itza on an Equinox. The days proved special or important in numerous cultures through history, I’d still like […]

by Craig Zabransky on February 28, 2013 in Beach
Visitors don’t (or shouldn’t) come to the Keys for solely a beach holiday. That said, they are a few gems. One of those is the beach at the Moorings in Islamorada. The Moorings, or Moorings Village and Spa is a high end luxury property. Visitors essentially stay in beach front houses not hotel rooms. And […]

A Beach with History, the Petroglyphs of Las Labradas
by Craig Zabransky on February 21, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel
Las Labradas translates to “the carvings.” And the beach just north of Mazatlan is filled with carvings on its coastal rocks. Travelers don’t come here to swim or soak in the sun, but rather to take a look at the numerous and mysterious petroglyphs. Known to locals for hundreds of years, the engraved rocks have […]

by Craig Zabransky on February 14, 2013 in Beach
I never thought I’d be involved with the beach photos, but when I dressed up in a traditional Scottish Kilt at a wedding on the Isle of Arran, I was automatically put into the van. It is a tradition in Scotland. All men brave enough to wear a kilt at a wedding get photographed. I […]
