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 […]

Sunset Sunday – Tulum, Mexico

by Craig Zabransky on September 5, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

Tulum. A two hour drive south from the Cancun airport on highway 307 (the only road) transports travelers to a true Mexican Oasis. Originally popular because of its Mayan coastal ruins (a post classical period settlement) the destination provides relaxing eco-friedly retreats. A 9km stretch of boutique and chic cabanas and hotels attract visitors from […]

Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico

by Craig Zabransky on July 26, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel

Oysters. For some, the ultimate delicacy, for others just another mollusk. And whether you believe it’s a myth or a fact that about its aphrodisiac powers upon digestion, I think we all can agree, the fresher the better. And nothing is fresher than pulled directly from ocean after you place that order. That is exactly […]

Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico

by Craig Zabransky on July 18, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

I arrived early enough to order a Margarita at the bar. After a self guided tour of Todo Santos I stopped back to Hotel California to relax, and eventually call for a taxi. Inside Jack Johnson tunes took over for the Eagles soundtrack and I noticed the lunchtime crowd cleared, a positive indication that the […]

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

by Craig Zabransky on June 13, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

Simply known as Puerto. The sleepy fishing village in Oaxaca, Mexico also claims home to the Mexican Pipeline. A perfect pacific Mexican escape. I enjoyeda long weekend on the coastal beach town of “Puerto” when I called Mexico City my home. And although I prefer the Mazatlan native “el Pacifico,” I can hardly disagree that the […]

The Truth about Cinco de Mayo

by Craig Zabransky on May 3, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Reflection

Viva Mexico! Happy Independence Day Mexico! Right? Actually no. Independence Day celebrations start in Mexico on the 15th of September with the reenactment of the “El Grito.” The entire country prepares and watches as the cry for independence that began by Catholic priest, Miguel Hidalgo, is staged again at 11pm. Then the celebration officially […]

Sunset Sunday – Poolside in Los Cabos, Mexico

by Craig Zabransky on February 28, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

On the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos offers tourists numerous options to pass the day. But whether it is a day at Medano Beach with cervezas and jet skis, or a day at sea watching the wonder of the whales that migrate from the Arctic seas, every day becomes night with the sunset. […]
