In the middle of the 7 million acres of “forever” wilderness, visitors to New York’s Adirondacks can discover the small town of Lake Placid, New York. Popular for hosting two winter Olympic Games (1932 and 1980), the town is most notable for the Miracle on Ice, but I discovered more than just Olympic History. My […]

Sunset Sunday-Villa Blanca Cloud Forest, Costa Rica
by Craig Zabransky on February 9, 2014 in Sunset Sunday
I arrived mid-afternoon to check in and asked, “What time does the sun set?” Puzzled, the staff of the Villa Blanca Hotel responded with a surprised look. Si (yes) they understood my English. It seemed as if everyone in Costa Rica did (although for the record, I spoke much Spanish). The surprised look was because […]
Is Visiting Lakeshore Beaches in Autumn Really Visiting the Beach? – A Trip to Glimmerglass State Park
by Craig Zabransky on February 6, 2014 in Beach
Growing up, going to the beach basically meant heading to the ocean. Saltwater and waves. It also meant warm weather – summer. Lakes and rivers (freshwater) or even a waveless ocean beach (except for an idyllic beach like the Gili Islands or Half Moon Cay) were not beaches. Neither was a visit in the fall […]
The Five-Arctic Adventures in Churchill Manitoba
by Craig Zabransky on February 4, 2014 in Destination, Photo
I never thought I would visit the edge of the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. Nope. I never thought I’d brave -40 degree temperature either, but I did. You might too if you had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in Churchill. Yes, they were amazing. Beyond amazing, but my trip was […]

by Craig Zabransky on February 2, 2014 in Sunset Sunday
This Sunday the sun sets on the 2013-14 NFL campaign with Super Bowl in East Rutherford, NJ, but pop the bubbly my team, the Seattle Seahawks are playing for the trophy. They’ve come to New York, my town, to play for a chance to be crowned Super Bowl Champions. Awesome. As a child I grew […]
Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa
by Craig Zabransky on January 30, 2014 in Beach
After a visit to Sentosa I would have bet the translation of the word into English was “sensation.” Singapore’s amusement resort, created for all ages, provides stimulation at every turn. Ironically it translates to “peace and harmony,” but I guess a certain tranquility exists in all places where the land meets the sea. The original […]

Sunset Sunday – The New York State Thruway Rest Area Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on January 26, 2014 in Sunset Sunday
When driving great distances, although be it infrequently, I often make a stop around sunset. No surprise, I take in the sunset wherever I can, especially when traveling. Yes, this includes rest stops on a thruway, and isn’t that what we do when we watch a sunset? Don’t we all pause, rest and recharge? I […]
