This year, I am not heading to Philadelphia for the event, but my college friends will once again take in the wing bowl from the luxury box. I attended twice, and I wrote the story below a few years ago (Jan 2009) attempting to explain exactly what is the wing bowl. Enjoy: For most of […]

Exploring the Cape of Good Hope
by Craig Zabransky on January 27, 2011 in Beach, Destination
The Cape of Good Hope might not be the beach one dreams about when imagining the idyllic with frozen drinks and palm trees. For that, it might be more of a pacific island paradise, such as the Gili islands. Nonetheless, it’s clear blue water and landscape to provide a spectacular scene. Plus most all travelers […]

Wake Up to all Five Senses at the Desert Lily
by Craig Zabransky on January 25, 2011 in Destination, Where to Stay?
It’s no secret I am not normally a morning person. It often requires special circumstances for me to wake before 9am. But if anything can alter my standard behavior it’s Mother Nature. And she did during my visit to Joshua Tree. During my travels to Joshua Tree National Park I enjoyed the desert scenery, the […]

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand
by Craig Zabransky on January 20, 2011 in Beach, Destination
On any journey, I always search for a place to surf. As I mentioned in last week’s Beach Thursday post, when I hear “beach,” I think ‘surf’ or ‘ocean.’ And when traveling to Asia, I knew about the beaches, but I didn’t know about the surf outside of Indonesia. I researched and discovered a beach […]

Salkehatchie and the Beaches on the Savannah River
by Craig Zabransky on January 13, 2011 in Beach, Destination
If I played the word association game with “beach,” my first thoughts might be either “surf” or “ocean.” I’d rarely think “lake,” and might never think “river.” Yet during a visit to the Salkehatchie region of South Carolina I enjoyed some brief, but memorable beach moments along the Savannah River. Ninety minutes north of the city […]

Oh “MamMitas” the Beach Club of Playa
by Craig Zabransky on January 6, 2011 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
In Mexico, “playa” might translate to beach, but “Playa” means Playa del Carmen. And when travelers visit Playa del Carmen, the beach where the “in crowd” goes to see and be seen remains Mamitas Beach Club. Located on 28th street, a few blocks north of the popular nighttime haunts, the party begins on the beach. […]

The Sands of Stone Island, Mazatlán
by Craig Zabransky on December 30, 2010 in Beach, Destination
I didn’t see or step on one single stone. And it’s not an island either, although the quickest and easiest way to arrive is across water. Stone Island takes its name from a town that needed to be relocated years ago. However, today all you need to know is that it’s a perfect place to […]

The Czech Republic and the Christmas Stone
by Craig Zabransky on December 24, 2010 in Destination, Reflection
The sun rose over the horizon as the bus started to navigate the city streets. I entered Prague fatigued by the overnight ride from Brussels but yet full of energy and excited to learn more about my heritage. The splendid city famed for adoring architecture, romantic boulevards, and pilsner beer also contained the roots of the […]
