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 […]
Sunset Sunday – Galle District, Sri Lanka
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 […]
Sunset Sunday-Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
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. […]

I toured the park and experienced up-close wildlife encounters, Mexican cultural exhibits, an amazing wine cellar (showcasing Mexican […]

When you think of Dubai, you think of excellent shopping, soft sandy beaches and some of the most stunning buildings in the world. But what you may not have considered is how this wonderful area of the world can be a Mecca for adrenaline junkies who are looking for their white knuckle thrills. Behind the […]
Sunset Sunday-Sunset at the Key Largo Hilton
Recently, I enjoyed a day at the Key Largo Hilton’s Beach and also took to the sky to parasail the Upper Florida Keys, but I didn’t watch the sunset from the property. No, I left before the sun dipped into the sea, yet I knew it might be special. So one evening when driving down […]
