Heading south for a break from winter becomes the popular play for many travelers as winter approaches in the north. For east coasters in the US it often means trips to Florida, the sunshine state. Such trips do not need to stick to beaches around the selected airport or the magic found in Orlando, but […]

We Wish You a Colorful Christmas, the Florida Bay Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on December 24, 2017 in Sunset Sunday
There is stillness, a silence in the sunset. At times it is a wonderful shared event such as celebrating milestone moments, other times it is spending the moment in the solitude of nature that makes it so special. For me, I often enjoy taking my SUP paddle board out on the Florida Bay at sunset. […]

The Island Music Vibe at Sunset in Islamorada, Florida Keys
by Craig Zabransky on November 12, 2017 in Sunset Sunday
The Florida Keys Sunset remains one of the best reasons to visit the Florida Keys. And many places offer a perfect setting to enjoy a island cocktail and listen to the distinct “Keys” musical vibe when watching the day turn into the night. One of my favorite local places, and a destination included in my […]

Sunset Sunday 2016 Recap Video; 2017 Outlook
by Craig Zabransky on January 29, 2017 in Films, Sunset Sunday
No doubt the Sunset Sunday series visited plenty of amazing places in 2016. From the mountains of North Korea to the waterways inside Tuscany, the plains of Montana to the lowlands of South Carolina the series again demonstrated how a universally shared event is different across the world. Each day the sunset is something we […]

The Beach at The Moorings in Islamorada, FL
by Craig Zabransky on February 28, 2013 in Beach
Visitors don’t (or shouldn’t) come to the Keys for solely a beach holiday. That said, they are a few gems. One of those is the beach at the Moorings in Islamorada. The Moorings, or Moorings Village and Spa is a high end luxury property. Visitors essentially stay in beach front houses not hotel rooms. And […]

Sunset Sunday – A Sunset Meal and Magic at Marker 88
by Craig Zabransky on May 20, 2012 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Sunset Sunday
Meals at sunset in the Florida Keys can be found up and down US1, the Overseas Highway. Directions to any of the places to watch the magic will also always include a mile marker. Of the 110 plus miles (or markers) from the mainland to Key West (mm 0), I’d recommend a few along the […]

Sunset Sunday – Upper Keys, Florida
by Craig Zabransky on October 9, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
In a play based on my life, the Florida Keys would be one of the major settings along with perhaps New York City and Mexico. The destination provided so many wonderful memories (a few scary ones too). I expect so much more magic from the Keys in the future too. Yes, I will always return […]

Sunset Sunday – Islamorada, Florida Keys
by Craig Zabransky on June 19, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away while the temperature dropped just a few degrees from its midday high. The idyllic climate matched the setting as I settled in for the sunset at Pierre’s in Islamorada. The bartender arrived with our cocktails and placed my manhattan on the table. As I reached for my first […]
