This past year, I took a different type of trip to Mexico. A trip I’ll never forget. I met amazing people, visited amazing destinations and had an amazing time. That didn’t add anything new to how I feel about Mexico, but something was different, something very new. I was on a different type of assignment […]

Every Friday at the St. Regis Resort in Punta Mita the sunset is celebrated in style. Out come bottles of champagne to the lobby with a gentleman holding a long sharp saber.

Postcard – San Blas Perfection
by Craig Zabransky on September 17, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Postcards
After probably one of the more challenging (now probably classified as funnier) moments in my tour of Riviera Nayarit it was clearly chela time. We needed a cerveza; we needed an ice cold beer on the beach. So before the long drive to Tepic we said out proper goodbyes to Riviera Nayarit with this view […]
Sunset Sunday from Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on September 15, 2013 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
After my first full day in the Riviera Nayarit we returned to the Paradise Village Hotel just in time for the sunset. I headed out to the beach with my camera to rest in a lounge chair to wait and watch. This part of Mexico didn’t disappoint, it never does. Although subtle, a majestic magenta […]

On my flight back from my recent trip to Mexico I looked out from my window seat and experienced a mile high moment; a mile high sunset. And I reflected on the moment. I stared and smiled for a while and then I eventually grabbed my iPhone to snap an image. My recent Mexican adventure […]

My destination, the Dreams Villagmana, was just a few minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Located in the newly marketed “Riviera Nayarit,” the Dreams is part of a growing area of all-inclusive luxury resorts in this part […]

My flight landed just after 1pm in Puerto Vallarta and I decided to rent a jeep from Avis to drive the coastal road north to Riviera Nayarit. Just before 3pm I arrived at my first destination – The Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita. On the nine-night adventure I started with my first on the right […]
The International Gourmet Festival of Puerto Vallarta
by Craig Zabransky on March 31, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel
When offered a chance to attend a food festival, I usually jump at it. Offer me a chance to visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I defintely jump at it. Offer me a chance to attend a Food Festival in Puerto Vallarta – its a no brainer. It’s just, “When do I need to be there?” Every November Puerto Vallarta […]
