A few years ago I watched the 4th of July fireworks on the Hudson River from Pier 66. Impressive. New York City always puts on an inspiring and well choreographed display to celebrate America’s birthday. Last year I received an invitation to watch the fireworks in VIP fashion as a guest at one of my […]

Sunset Sunday-Dreams Riviera Cancun
by Craig Zabransky on June 29, 2014 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
I pulled a cerveza from the in-room fridge and made my way down to the beach during the golden hour. I love putting my toes in the sand at sunset even if on the east coast of Mexico in the Riviera Maya. Sure, I might not see the sun itself dip below the horizon, but […]

Galle, located in the southwest of Sri Lanka is one of the island nation’s top destinations. Steeped in history, which dates back to King Solomon times with its local ivory and spices attracting traders from Persia, Arabia, Greece, Rome, India and China, the district also contains a colonial past with a first Portuguese then Dutch […]

by stayadventurous on June 15, 2014 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
I met Jerome in Mexico when we both attended Carnaval in Mazatlan. We hit it off and discussed future travels including a trip to Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval one year and since Jerome is a Carioca at heart I asked him to share a sunset moment from his time in Rio on Sunset Sunday. […]

Sunset Sunday-The Washington DC Sunset with Cocktails
by Craig Zabransky on June 8, 2014 in Sunset Sunday
Too many years have passed since I last spent a weekend in Washington DC; I looked forward it. I arrived late in the evening and checked in to my hotel, the Palomar Hotel. The receptionist handed me a few complimentary drink tickets along with my room key since I missed the Kimpton wine happy hour, […]

Sunset Sunday-The Mayan Sunset at Xcaret
by Craig Zabransky on June 1, 2014 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
I visited Xcaret for the first time and spent the entire day inside the park. I originally expected Xcaret to be a Mayan focused theme park, a Mayan Disneyland per se, but it was more, much more. I toured the park and experienced up-close wildlife encounters, Mexican cultural exhibits, an amazing wine cellar (showcasing Mexican […]
