The first scheduled stop on my day’s tour, Punta Laguna, did not excite me. I’ll admit it. My initial thought – skip it. I looked ahead. I thought, let’s head straight to the ancient ruins of Coba and spend more time understanding the mystique and magic of the Mayans.

Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica
by stayadventurous on November 28, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure. And this Thanksgiving weekend, thankful for all my travels, I decided to look back to the adventure that changed the course of my future. An adventure where I actually spent a Thanksgiving searching for a slice of Turkey to go with my beans and rice. This weekend I looked back to the first leg of my travel sabbatical ….

Sunset Sunday – Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, New York
by stayadventurous on November 21, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
As a native New Yorker, I am often asked for recommendations, the “what to do, what to see” regarding my city. It’s not hard to rattle of a list of ‘to-dos’ about arguably one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting destinations so I oblige. Yet I don’t often write about them. I don’t want […]

The Perfect Place to Daydream, Riviera Maya.
by stayadventurous on November 19, 2010 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
Often times, when in Mexico conversation commences about other Mexican destinations. Comparisons – yes, but also (and mostly) about how we all appreciate the country, the culture and the cuisine. I found myself talking about the Riviera Maya yesterday, and as much as I enjoy the adventure of exploring the cenotes, discovering my senses, eating […]

Sunset Sunday – Charleston, South Carolina
by stayadventurous on November 14, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
The charm of Charleston magnifies when you walk the city. Whether you follow its revolutionary roots, its Civil War Story, or just meander to enjoy its historic homes at some point you will find yourself down along the battery. And I recommend you find yourself there at sunset. On the waterfront, you walk among monuments […]

The Cliff Divers of Mazatlán
by Craig Zabransky on November 12, 2010 in Destination
The van pulled over and we climbed out of the vehicle into a sea of friendly merchants. With tourists stopping by all day, the vendors set up and greet you with ‘buen precio and muy barato” (good prices and very cheap). Only after you navigate through the wood carvings, silver souvenirs, and the other assorted […]

Sunset Sunday – NYC Marathon, Central Park
by stayadventurous on November 7, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
On New York City Marathon Sunday, you can usually find me in Central Park when the sun sets, but I start that day by waking up early to watch the race (the professionals), enjoy a long leisurely brunch and then head to experience one New York City’s best experiences, the joy of cheering for all […]

Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon
by stayadventurous on November 4, 2010 in Destination
This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]
