Sunset Sunday – Sunset Sail in Tavernier

by on February 22, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The magic of a sunset seems to multiply on the water.  And when you climb aboard a sailboat, well that may just be the ultimate. During my time in the Florida Keys this month I discovered Sunshine Sailing in the upper keys (MM 94.5) and just yesterday Captain Jennifer MacLean, a women of (and) the […]

Canadian Giants

by on February 19, 2010 in Destination, Reflection

Canada. Majestic landscape, hockey, and as any New Yorker knows, (but doesn’t care to admit) the better side of Niagara Falls. And now as Vancouver plays host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, nightly we all learn more. As a frequent traveler to the ‘Great White North’ I can offer advice on Canada, but I wonder […]

Sunset Sunday – The Greek Isle of Paxos

One evening, that special sensation hit me harder than my second glass of Ouzo. Here, on the cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea, I watched the sun descend from the island […]

This week Sunset Sunday takes us to my days in Mexico. Here I sat on the sands of ‘playa de los muertos,’ south of the river in Puerto Vallarta after a refreshing late afternoon swim. I enjoyed this very view over a bucket of coronitas (7oz Coronas) with the sounds of the local Mariachi band. The […]

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

by on January 22, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The Sunset. That word alone makes us smile. We are warmed by a memory; we recall a time, a place, a moment. What is Sunset Sunday? The daily descent delights differently, but is universally positive. The sunset remains one of the most celebrated moments of the day. For me, it surprises, seduces, and slows.  And I […]

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

by on January 15, 2010 in Destination, Travel Contest

Click. I hung up the phone with Delta. Thirty-five thousand sky miles, all earned as a management consultant exchanged for a round trip ticket to San Jose, Costa Rica. This time – no assignment; my travel was personal and with purpose. Turning back was no longer an option. The travel sabbatical I talked about for […]
