In Africa, I dreamed of safari, sunsets, soccer (World Cup) and deep discovery into my soul. I found it all and more. But one surprise for me, and my Stay Luxurious side was passage on South Africa’s Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town. The invitation, experience, and twenty-eight elegant hours I received, remain one […]
Sunset Sunday – Blue Train, South Africa

Sunset Sunday – Savannah, Georgia
by Craig Zabransky on April 3, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Last April, I discovered a true southern gem. I visited Savannah, Georgia. I spent a few days exploring the colonial city filled with American history, haunted tales, and southern hospitality. The walkable streets and city squares set a slower speed as trees covered with Spanish moss set a mood of mystery and intrigue. There is […]
Sunset Sunday – Estrella del Mar, Mazatlán
by Craig Zabransky on March 27, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
After a few hours relaxing in the sun, I received a phone call poolside. It felt like a 1960s film as the attendant asked, “Sir, are you Craig Zabransky?” and then upon my acknowledgement they told me, “You have a phone call.” Apparently, they’d tried my room a few times, but with perfect weather and […]
Sunset Sunday – Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand
by Craig Zabransky on March 20, 2011 in Guest Post, Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
So what might make me pause my month of Mexican March Madness and post a sunset image from New Zealand? Simple – Blog4NZ. Blog4NZ Tourism is a way of life for many communities around the world and sometimes events alter their future. The recent earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand might influence travelers decisions to visit the entire […]
Sunset Sunday – Buenaventura Grand, Puerto Vallarta
by Craig Zabransky on March 13, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
When I arrived to Buenaventura Grand Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, I had a few hours before my scheduled dinner at the aptly named oceanfront restaurant, Sunset Restaurant. But with dinner slated after the sun took its dip, I decided to head to the beach to catch the sunset for myself. It would make for the perfect aperitif. […]
Sunset Sunday – Hotel Playa Mazatlan Golden Zone, Mazatlán
by Craig Zabransky on March 6, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
I arrived at the perfect time. I arrived at sunset. On my first night back in Mazatlán, I checked in to the Hotel Plaza Mazatlán located on the pacific coast of Mexico just in time for a ‘welcome (back) to Mexico’ sunset. After dropping my bags, I walked out of my room’s sliding glasses doors to gaze upon […]
Sunset Sunday – Flores, Guatemala
by Craig Zabransky on February 27, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
You can walk around the island of Flores in less than twenty minutes and I did many times. It’s a small quaint place most tourists come to visit as a starting point for travel deeper into the Guatemalan jungle and the ancient Mayan ruins. Tikal, the most famous, popular and perhaps impressive of the ruins […]
Sunset Sunday – An email from Boulder, Colorado
by Craig Zabransky on February 20, 2011 in Guest Post, Sunset Sunday
On a Wednesday night I received an email from an ex-consulting colleague titled “Sunset in Boulder.” She wrote, “I saw the website you put together a couple of weeks ago and have been thinking about you and the philosophy. So even though it is Wednesday, I wanted to send you some pics of a sunset in […]
