Colón, the port city named for the Cristobal Colon, or as many know him, Christopher Columbus rests on the Caribbean side of the Panama Canal. The slow, sleepy, port itself doesn’t offer much insight into the explorer who enlightened Europe on a “new world,” but it does serve as the gateway to his very dream […]

Sunset Sunday – A Balcony Sunset at Sea
by Craig Zabransky on April 22, 2012 in Cruise Travel, Sunset Sunday
The balcony. A must when selecting a cruise for a vacation. Why? There are many reasons, but my favorite – the sunset. On my most recent cruise, the ten day Panama Canal Sunfarer, I only watched the sunset on land once. It was the sunset on Eagle Beach in Aruba. So for nine nights I […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 25, 2012 in Events, Sunset Sunday
Puerto Vallarta seems to provide a spectacular sunset every night. Nearly every evening on my travels I’d find myself watching the magic from a beach, my hotel balcony, or sipping a cocktail somewhere. I’d also often be ready to capture and share the moment on the Sunset Sunday series. I’ve shared many. Le Kliff also […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 18, 2012 in Mexico Travel, Stay Luxurious, Sunset Sunday

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 […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset at Las Majahuitas Resort
by Craig Zabransky on March 11, 2012 in Sunset Sunday
Simple directions state, “Take the coastal road south from downtown Puerto Vallarta until it ends and then board a water taxi.” To come Las Majahuitas Resort you can’t arrive by car, all guests arrive by boat. The jungle and Sierra Madre Mountains make it only accessible by passage along the Pacific waters. The journey adds […]
