Photo of the Day: Antelope Canyon, Navajo Nation, Arizona
Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 16 March 2012
Tsé bighánílíní. That’s the Navajo name for Antelope Canyon on the Navajo Indian Reservation outside Page, Arizona. The phrase means ”the place where water runs through rocks” which is appropriate since this photogenic slot canyon was formed by water and continues to flood during seasonal rains. Clear skies and sun greeted us during our visit to this amazing natural formation allowing Eric to capture this dramatic shaft of light. Like what you see?

Traveling For Love of the Game: Reasons To Attend Baseball’s Spring Training
Blog: Suzy Guese - 14 March 2012
The sound of a baseball meeting a catcher’s glove signifies everything about spring for me. I get chills to hear it for the first time, especially after a long winter.

Parents Only Getaway: Miraval Arizona
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 11 July 2011
My love for spa’s started after my second son was born. He cried for hours each night and I remember thinking that I needed to go somewhere very quiet!
