I reached for the large brown crayon. Not sure how to put the experience into words I started to draw. As we all opened our eyes after the Sense Adventure the guide asked us to share our thoughts on a blank comment card. And although we all experienced the same stimulation, we all reacted differently.

I Checked Out Hotel California, Baja California
by Craig Zabransky on September 6, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
Hotel California. We all know the Eagle’s lyrics describing a mystical place where you can check out, but truly never leave. To me that’s Mexico. So no surprise, the hotel itself resides in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Sure I left Mexico and in a way “checked out” – but did I ever leave? Nope. Not […]

Sunset Sunday – Tulum, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on September 5, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Tulum. A two hour drive south from the Cancun airport on highway 307 (the only road) transports travelers to a true Mexican Oasis. Originally popular because of its Mayan coastal ruins (a post classical period settlement) the destination provides relaxing eco-friedly retreats. A 9km stretch of boutique and chic cabanas and hotels attract visitors from […]

Oysters with a pearl of wisdom in Mazatlan, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 26, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel
Oysters. For some, the ultimate delicacy, for others just another mollusk. And whether you believe it’s a myth or a fact that about its aphrodisiac powers upon digestion, I think we all can agree, the fresher the better. And nothing is fresher than pulled directly from ocean after you place that order. That is exactly […]

Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 18, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
I arrived early enough to order a Margarita at the bar. After a self guided tour of Todo Santos I stopped back to Hotel California to relax, and eventually call for a taxi. Inside Jack Johnson tunes took over for the Eagles soundtrack and I noticed the lunchtime crowd cleared, a positive indication that the […]

Why I love Mexico: Rutas de Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 5, 2010 in Destination, Events, Films, Market, Mexico Travel
For those that know me, know I love Mexico. The romance, the music, the adventure, the history, the culture, the cuisine, the cervezas… Ah, the list can continue and continue. Essentially it can go on for an entire blog post; there are many more than seven reasons. But I know Mexico, do you? I lived […]

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido
by Craig Zabransky on June 13, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
Simply known as Puerto. The sleepy fishing village in Oaxaca, Mexico also claims home to the Mexican Pipeline. A perfect pacific Mexican escape. I enjoyeda long weekend on the coastal beach town of “Puerto” when I called Mexico City my home. And although I prefer the Mazatlan native “el Pacifico,” I can hardly disagree that the […]

The Truth about Cinco de Mayo
by Craig Zabransky on May 3, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Reflection
Viva Mexico! Happy Independence Day Mexico! Right? Actually no. Independence Day celebrations start in Mexico on the 15th of September with the reenactment of the “El Grito.” The entire country prepares and watches as the cry for independence that began by Catholic priest, Miguel Hidalgo, is staged again at 11pm. Then the celebration officially […]
