With the coveted SPG status, late afternoon meant happy hour at the Sheraton Grande Laguna Beach. The luxury resort located on the island of Phuket in Thailand provided its platinum patrons complimentary cocktails and delicious appetizers nightly.

Sunset Sunday – Pittston, PA
by Craig Zabransky on August 14, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Today, most of my family lives in the Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania. And Pittston, PA might serve as the equidistant center for everyone. So it made perfect sense to meet there for dinner. We selected Cooper’s Seafood House Restaurant and Bar. And with the new “Cabana” extension designed to mimic a Key West feel, […]

Sunset Sunday – Sire Beach, Lombok
by Craig Zabransky on August 7, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Lombok, the island east of Bali in the Indonesia island chain offers pristine beaches and few crowds. Tourism is growing on the island, but it is often to compared to Bali from the 1920s – a paradise (and not yet developed). Sire Beach, one of the beaches on the western side offers just a few […]

Sunset Sunday – San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 31, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
After two full days in San Blas, I booked the third night. The town still intrigued. And to celebrate I returned to the beach with my pen, journal and some pesos for a cerveza to watch the sunset. I arrived and selected one of the popular talapas and ordered a Pacifico. My mission to watch the […]

Sunset Sunday – Muncy, PA
by Craig Zabransky on July 17, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Some places seem alive. Certain destinations are filled with an energy, like New York, while other places are filled with life. No, not just the human population, but all life and those places tend to exist in nature. One such place was the Creekview Country Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Muncy, Pennsylvania. Just off interstate 180, a […]

Sunset Sunday – Columbus Circle, NYC
by Craig Zabransky on July 10, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Sometimes I search out the sunset. I plan my day around the moment. I find it’s well worth it every time. Other times, well the sunset finds me. It finds us all. We can be at an event or perhaps just living life and “wa-la” the sunset causes us to pause. We watch it. We enjoy […]

The 2011 Sunset Sunday Midpoint Review
by Craig Zabransky on July 3, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Reflection, Sunset Sunday
As we enter July for some the year is half over, for others half the year awaits. With that in mind I decided to take a pause and review Sunset Sunday posts to see where we traveled, how it measured up against what I planned, and finally where we need to go in the next […]
