Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya

Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya

by on September 7, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel

I reached for the large brown crayon. Not sure how to put the experience into words I started to draw. As we all opened our eyes after the Sense Adventure the guide asked us to share our thoughts on a blank comment card. And although we all experienced the same stimulation, we all reacted differently. […]

I Checked Out Hotel California, Baja California

I Checked Out Hotel California, Baja California

by on September 6, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel

Hotel California.  We all know the Eagle’s lyrics describing a mystical place where you can check out, but truly never leave. To me that’s Mexico. So no surprise, the hotel itself resides in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Sure I left Mexico and in a way “checked out” – but did I ever leave? Nope. Not […]

Back to School in Zimbabwe

Back to School in Zimbabwe

by on August 31, 2010 in Destination

In a country where a $50,000,000,000,000 dollar bill might get you $1 USD from a tourist (only for a souvenir, the currency is worthless) and unemployment reaching 90% in some areas, the future might seem bleak. In fact most tourists don’t seem to travel anywhere outside the Victoria Falls area along the Mighty Zambezi for […]

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia

by on August 29, 2010 in Destination, Sunset Sunday

In description, few people or places receive the word Mighty with regularity. When describing rivers I only knew one before my trip to Africa, the mighty Mississippi. But as an alliteration fan myself with my writing it seemed to make sense. But when African’s described the rivers of Africa, not once did the guides or […]

A Visit to Cape Town’s District 6 Museum

Cape Town, South Africa serves as an initial entry point for many travelers to Africa.  But some argue it’s not “True Africa,” Ok, then I ask, is New York true America?  The answer in both cases: Yes. America as a nation cherishes variety and today so does South Africa. And both cities serve as a […]

Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa

by on August 20, 2010 in Destination, Photo

A trip up the cable car to Table Mountain is one of the highlights of visiting Cape Town. And if it’s clear in the morning, you must consider making the trip that day as weather can change quickly on the Cape. Once above on a clear day you can see for miles in every direction. A […]

The Blue Train of South Africa – Travel in Style

The Blue Train of South Africa – Travel in Style

by on August 18, 2010 in Destination, Stay Luxurious

The taxi arrived early. A relief. I settled up with my hostel and left in my cleanest shirt for the journey that waited. The morning had two important stops. My first was to meet a twitter friend, @theexplorateur, for coffee and to say thank you. She was the very reason I received a guest passage […]
