On a special “MexMonday,” (it’s Mexico bicentennial celebration week) I wanted to post a photo that’s special to me. Not solely because of the substance, but also because it enabled me to meet a great community of people who promote Mexico. People I now call my friends. On an excursion to visit some of the […]

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday
by Craig Zabransky on September 11, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]

The El Fogon Conclusion – Great Tacos in Playa del Carmen
by Craig Zabransky on September 9, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel
At times walking the streets of Playa del Carmen one can start to think they are vacationing in Italy. Yes, Italy. Surprised? Well, have you been to Playa lately? Italians top the list of foreign ownership and that translates into many Italian restaurants. Pizza appears on nearly every block with pasta specials on nearly every menu across […]

Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya
by Craig Zabransky 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
by Craig Zabransky 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
by Craig Zabransky 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 […]
