Postcard – The Beijing Commute

Every morning I passed the Forbidden City.  It was one of my favorite moments of the day and one morning I took my camera. But what may have been more impressive then […]

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico

by on January 31, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel

South of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, Yelapa can be a little off the main tourist trail. Yet, the beach town popular as a boating excursion, does fill up midday with visitors. Most spend time at the beachfront talapas enjoying an afternoon lunch and some refreshing cocktails or cervezas. I know I joined them.

I also captured a few sunsets over the years. This winter, over Christmas Break, after a fresh snowfall I […]

Punta Cana – An All-Inclusive Beach Town in the Dominican

Punta Cana – An All-Inclusive Beach Town in the Dominican

I started this post on January 5th. I sat down and stared at my decorated Christmas Tree with a cup of coffee reflecting on my 4th anniversary of freedom. Yes, four years ago, on January 5th, I left my cubicle and walked out of the Wall Street world  (thanks to the economic downturn the world […]

One Reason to Take A Caribbean Cruise – Half Moon Cay

One Reason to Take A Caribbean Cruise – Half Moon Cay

by on January 17, 2013 in Beach, Cruise Travel

Do you need a reason to take a cruise? Some travelers love the cruise vacation, others don’t. I wondered where I’d stand after nearly a twenty year absence from the “cruise” holiday. Before I boarded the ms Zuiderdam last year, my last sail of similar magnitude was as a teenager with my parents. I realized […]

Sunset Sunday – The Sunset on the Road to San Isidro

by on January 13, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

We all piled into to a Suburban from the Temoris train station and started the journey to San Isidro. We just witnessed the most magical part of the Copper Canyon Train ride and gained even more appreciation for the modern marvel.
