Sometimes you need to dive right in, to Acapulco…. Stay adventurous, Craig Day 4 of 20 day Mexico Bicentennial Tribute
Coming to my Senses in the Riviera Maya
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
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
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 […]
Back to School in Zimbabwe
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 […]
Sunset Sunday – The Mighty Zambezi, Zimbabwe-Zambia
In description, few people or places receive the word Mighty with regularity. When describing rivers I only knew one before my trip to Africa, the mighty Mississippi. But as an alliteration fan myself with my writing it seemed to make sense. But when African’s described the rivers of Africa, not once did the guides or […]
Taking a Pint South African Style – Umqombothi
Umqombothi. Say that three times. In fact even say it once. Not easy. But a lot easier to drink? Well maybe not, but it’s an adventure. After my 1/2 day tour via Acacia Africa that took me to visit the District Six Museum and a local township outside of Cape Town, our last stop, not like any […]
A Visit to Cape Town’s District 6 Museum
Cape Town, South Africa serves as an initial entry point for many travelers to Africa. But some argue it’s not “True Africa,” Ok, then I ask, is New York true America? The answer in both cases: Yes. America as a nation cherishes variety and today so does South Africa. And both cities serve as a […]
