Lombok, the island east of Bali in the Indonesia island chain offers pristine beaches and few crowds. Tourism is growing on the island, but it is often to compared to Bali from the 1920s – a paradise (and not yet developed). Sire Beach, one of the beaches on the western side offers just a few […]
The Wonder of the World at Petra
by stayadventurous on August 5, 2011 in Destination, Guest Post
I first met Bharat, the author, while staying in Princeton, (sounds much better than saying working in Hopewell, NJ). We worked together on a consulting project, and both shared the desire to explore the world. Since those days Bharat has traveled through the much of the Middle East, India, Afghanistan, East Africa and the Sudan […]
Sunset Sunday – San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 31, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
After two full days in San Blas, I booked the third night. The town still intrigued. And to celebrate I returned to the beach with my pen, journal and some pesos for a cerveza to watch the sunset. I arrived and selected one of the popular talapas and ordered a Pacifico. My mission to watch the […]
Where to Stay in South Beach? – Hotel Victor
by Craig Zabransky on July 28, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Where to Stay?
South Beach. The very words bring a smile to many of us. Its sultry scene provides the chance to “see and be seen.” Whether you explore the beach, people watch on ocean drive, or head out to the clubs late night, it’s all about looking beautiful. Visitors “do” South Beach many ways; some want ocean […]

by Craig Zabransky on July 18, 2011 in Destination, Mexico Travel
The heavy rain arrived and a late breakfast was added to the itinerary after our first stop in Punta Laguna. We stopped just a few miles from the Mayan archaeological site of Coba and waited out the storm. After some eggs and tortilla the rain ceased. We piled back into the van and continued to […]
Sunset Sunday – Muncy, PA
by Craig Zabransky on July 17, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Some places seem alive. Certain destinations are filled with an energy, like New York, while other places are filled with life. No, not just the human population, but all life and those places tend to exist in nature. One such place was the Creekview Country Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Muncy, Pennsylvania. Just off interstate 180, a […]
Sunset Sunday – Columbus Circle, NYC
by Craig Zabransky on July 10, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Sometimes I search out the sunset. I plan my day around the moment. I find it’s well worth it every time. Other times, well the sunset finds me. It finds us all. We can be at an event or perhaps just living life and “wa-la” the sunset causes us to pause. We watch it. We enjoy […]
