This coming week reminds me about being thankful and giving thanks. And on Thursday, Thanksgiving, I’ll spend time with family and friends. We’ll eat, we’ll drink, and we’ll also give thanks to the people and events in our lives that make it special. But as you make your list to give thanks, or perhaps prepare […]
Sunset Sunday – The View of the Lake at Glimmerglass Park

Fall Foliage – Glimmerglass State Park in New York’s Catskills
by Craig Zabransky on October 13, 2012 in Destination
Summer scheduling challenges pushed the family reunion to October. Perfect. Well perfect if you like brisk fall weather and the brilliant colors of fall. I enjoy both and left New York excited for the journey to Glimmerglass State Park in the Catskills of New York. Roughly four hours away from the big apple and just […]
Sunset Sunday – Winter Sunset in Lake Wallenpaupack, PA
by Craig Zabransky on February 12, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
I spend time in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The spring bloom, the summer storms, the autumn colors and the winter snows, provide a chance to experience nature all year. With Manhattan as my home, the less than three hour bus ride makes for a perfect escape any season. In the colds of January, the […]
Sunset Sunday – Manchester, Vermont
by Craig Zabransky on October 2, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
I travel to Vermont a few times a year. Actually, I have visited in each of the seasons with the exception of its cold winter. Yes, the fall foliage of Manchester, Vermont is spectacular, but so is spring and summer. The Manchester View Hotel claims to have, “the best view in southern Vermont.” It even appears […]
Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon
by stayadventurous on November 4, 2010 in Destination
This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]
Fall Foliage – Hocking Hills, Ohio
by stayadventurous on October 22, 2010 in Destination
Last year I accepted an invitation to Hocking Hills, Ohio. Where? Exactly. But this relatively unknown Buckeye State destination left quite an impression on me. In the region, originally formed by Glacier run-off, visitors can explore and discover a unique micro-climate, truly taste a slice of America Appalachia and experience some of the best stargazing […]
Fall Foliage – Manchester Center, Vermont
by stayadventurous on October 20, 2010 in Destination
When Vermont received its name, I don’t believe it was in October. The green (vert) mountain (mont) state shows its true colors as the air cools. Beautiful and brilliant colors. And each fall many travelers take a pilgrimage to visit this part of New England. One year, I was one of them. On a trip […]
