It was a three hour excursion and probably just enough time to explore the town. So I grabbed my camera and my hat, headed to the beach and boarded the boat. From the sands of the Las Majahuitas Resort, a place with a wonderful sunset, we pushed off to sea. Next stop Yelapa. The ride […]

Whale Watching and Hearing the Humpback Song
by Craig Zabransky on March 14, 2012 in Destination, Films, Mexico Travel
I circled the day on my (mental) calendar well before I arrived in Puerto Vallarta. Whale Watching was one of the main reasons I made sure I visited the coastal town in February, the peak of the season (Dec 15-March 23rd). I wanted to see, wanted to watch, and wanted to experience an encounter with, […]

Praha Again – A Chance to Return to Prague, Czech Republic
by Craig Zabransky on February 29, 2012 in Destination, Travel Contest
“Praha again, Praha again,” my cousin’s husband told me when we said good-bye and discussed when and where we might meet again. I needed to return to the Czech Republic. I promised I would. My grandfather crossed the Atlantic by ship from his native Czechoslovakia (present day Czech Republic) to the States in his 30s. […]

Three Favorites from the Upper Florida Keys
by Craig Zabransky on February 9, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination
I visit the Florida Keys often and when I tell people they often respond with, “Oh, Key West.” No, not exactly. The Florida Keys are more than Key West. Much more. The change in attitude begins at the latitude in the Upper Keys begin. Travel plans to the Florida Keys often center around Key West. But […]

Mazatlan Tours – ATV or Canopy Tour at Huana Coa?
by Craig Zabransky on December 29, 2011 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I love to zip-line. And when asked, I thought I’d always select a canopy adventure (zip-line) over ATV. Then one afternoon, at Huana Coa, an adventure tour operator, outside of Mazatlan Mexico, I surprised myself. Huana Coa Canopy Adventure Huana Coa, an adventure outfit located in the Sierra Madre mountains is forty-five minutes from the […]

Three Surprises at the Market in Oaxaca
by Craig Zabransky on November 28, 2011 in Destination, Market, Mexico Travel
On each and every new trip to a city, certain adventures always rise to the top of my to-do list. One is a walk and after I strolled the streets of Oaxaca on Sunday, I decided to make sure I performed another “must” the following morning. I headed straight to the main market, Mercado Benito Juarez, […]

The Cholla Cactus Garden of Joshua Tree National Park
by Craig Zabransky on November 10, 2011 in Adventure Mindset, Destination, National Park Travel
The desert clears your mind and calms your soul. A hike through the trails of the beautiful, and barren, provide the perfect cure for a clouded mind. On such a hike through Joshua Tree National Park I discovered more than the tree, but also a cactus cure. I woke up early, very early. I started […]

A Lesson Learned on the Pacaya Volcano Hike in Guatemala
by Craig Zabransky on November 9, 2011 in Adventure Mindset, Destination
Admission to the park was prepaid with my tour, but the guide insisted I needed to pay (again). Even my conversational Spanish proved useless. It seemed my tour operator from Antigua took me for an an extra 50 Quetzales when I prepaid. I became angry. It wasn’t the money, but the principle of it that made me […]
