My guide walked toward the cenote, but I couldn’t see any cavern entrance or surface water. Confused my paced slowed even with the sudden rainfall and darker skies. She started to descend. Stairs? A spiral staircase descended below the surface and I followed her into the earth. After 20-30 steps and still no sight of […]

The Cenote Swim at Hacienda Tres Rios
by Craig Zabransky on September 20, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
I took off my life-preserver device and decided to dive. A deep breath and I left the surface to swim towards the bottom. Not very deep, only a few meters down, I touched, turned and planned to return to the surface. I looked up. Magical. Sunbeams penetrated the clear crisp water and shined on my […]
Sunset Sunday – Playa del Carmen
by Craig Zabransky on September 19, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
South of Cancun, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico, travelers find the town of Playa del Carmen. Whether you spend one night, or one month, this gem on the Riviera Maya will leave an impression. And after three visits within the last year, I can confirm – it’s after the sun sets when the town […]
The Fountain of Banamex, Santa Fe, Mexico City
by Craig Zabransky on September 18, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Reflection
Fountains. I am a fan. I always find myself taking a break to relax, unwind, and enjoy the cityscape around fountains. Big, small, historic, or just simply communal – fountains inspire and energize. When in Mexico City, I worked as a consultant for Banamex. And when I think of my favorite spots in Mexico City […]

by Craig Zabransky on September 17, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Photo
The view from the hotel suite where I spent many of my nights when I called Mexico City home faced the “Paseo de la Reforma,” the main artery of the city. And although the traffic caused headaches and at time heartaches to the me along with the other 20+ million that call DF home, in […]
Mexican Independence Day in San Miguel de Allende
by Craig Zabransky on September 16, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel
All cities contain weekend escapes, places within a driving distance where people can unwind and spend time away from city life. Mexico City is no different. Within driving distance (once outside the city traffic) you can find yourself sunning on the beaches of Acapulco, exploring the mountains and forests of Michocan, or walking the colonial […]
The Tequila Triple Play
by Craig Zabransky on September 15, 2010 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel
In social circles, people often ask, “so, what is your favorite drink?” And perhaps I have too many. But if I needed to make a choice, a spirit to spend my days on the deserted island with, my choice, my Blue Agave friend. Si, Tequila. Many might not be surprised, after all Mexico and me do […]
Seamless, Sustainable Green Travel at Hacienda Tres Rios
by Craig Zabransky on September 14, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Stay Luxurious
The shuttle van turned off the highway and stopped at the gate to enter Hacienda Tres Rios. We arrived. The private path to the main hotel entrance might be considered a touch more “natural” than others, but when you arrive at the main reception area, no doubt exists. You booked a luxury resort. At first […]
