Cruising to the Caribbean πŸš’πŸ˜ŽπŸπŸ–

Cruising to the Caribbean sounds so very good right now! So much to see and do and so many memories to be made. I went on a 5 day cruise to the Western Caribbean and I was just amazed. I was even amazed by the beautiful cruise ship 🚒 views also. Take a quick look for yourself: youtube.com/shorts/MQyRJ2jdGrw

Pretty cool, huh πŸ€”? I remember walking out on deck and seeing the beautiful views like it was only yesterday. Of course, during these pandemic days, things would look a lot different. Definitely not as many people all crowded in one place but still a lot of activities onboard nonetheless.

The area that you are viewing is called the Lido deck and it is where a lot of the fun happens on the ship, including the Sail Away adventures. Cannot beat fun times aboard a cruise 🚒 πŸ˜ƒ. The experience is so wonderful and the memories will last a lifetime.

Cruising is a beautiful experience and I encourage everyone to partake of the experience at least once to see if you will enjoy it. Who knows, it could be the first of many adventures πŸ˜ŽπŸ–πŸ–!

Come Through Today😍❀️🀩πŸ”₯

How I love staying at beautiful resorts while on vacation 😎! Absolutely nothing like it. For me, I never compromise. I am not one of those folks in which it doesn’t matter where I lay my head. If you are one of those folks, I admire your opinion- we will agree to disagree. For me, I lump where I stay, into the overall relaxation experience. Waking up to an ocean view from my window along with immaculate views of the property, is almost the best thing to heavenπŸ˜‚! Here is one of the best resorts that I have had the pleasure of staying at: youtube.com/shorts/tTO2kKHiXz8

The video above was taken on the grounds of the beautiful Hilton Los Cabos Resort. I had such a beautiful time there and you can see why! This is why, ladies and gentlemen, we work, vacation and repeat πŸ”. These views are spectacular and instantly takes you back to magnificent times when you watch the video or replay the memories in your mind.

If you have never visited the Los Cabos/Cabo San Lucas area, it is an amazing place to vacation. So much to do and so little time to do it. There are activities for the entire family. For the first time in my life, I rode a camel πŸͺ in Los Cabos😳! Of all the places, but it turns out that in addition to the beaches of Cabo, there is a desert 🌡 area called Wild Canyon. This area is amazing and a must see when you visit the area.

Hope that you enjoy the video and that you will add this part of Mexico to your future vacation plansπŸ˜€!

All Aboard – Sail Away Party 🚒 πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰

If you have ever wondered about the type of entertainment that cruise ships have on board, look no further than this video:youtube.com/shorts/f4u6XOdNrgg

I remember this experience as if it were just yesterday πŸ˜ƒ. So much fun and so much eager anticipation of sailing to the Western Caribbean to visit Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel. I could hardly contain my excitement, just like kid, excitedly waiting for Christmas πŸŽ….

The video above is just a snippet of entertainment that we had on that day. Once you take a cruise, there is a myriad of things to do. Casinos are there, Broadway style performances also keep you entertained. Comedy shows are onboard along with miniature golf, basketball, swimming etc.

If you are wondering whether daycare and kid care facilities are there, the answer is yes πŸ™Œ. There are also adult only pools etc. if you prefer the all adult experiences. Food is there in absolute abundance: buffets, fine dining, fast food etc. it is almost like a airplane, hotel and restaurants all combined into one experience!

I will readily admit that I have not been cruising since the pandemic 😷 so I caution everyone to take all safety precautions to ensure that you get the most out of your experience. The video above is from pre-pandemic times so the experience would have changed since then. I am sure that the cruise lines will do all that is within their power to ensure a safe experience.

I look forward to sailing in the future and I encourage you all to cruise, especially if this is the first time or if you have cruised before. The experience is an excellent one and the memories will last a lifetime! πŸ˜ƒ

Dance πŸ’ƒ πŸ•ΊπŸΎParty on the High SeasπŸ˜ƒ

Nothing quite like a Carnival Cruise 🚒 Dance Party😁! No matter how many times I cruise on Carnival, the experience seems to get better and better. This particular one that I captured, will give you an idea of what I mean: youtube.com/shorts/W07A6Wr80Wo

So incredibly fun 🀩 to experience this type of entertainment with the staff getting involved in it along with the cruise guests. I often wonder how long it takes to choreograph those dance moves πŸ˜‚. I would guess hours upon hours.

In any event, it was a fun time had by all. This was pre-pandemic which in my opinion, was the best time to have this type of experience. I am unsure how you accomplish something like this, in the midst of a pandemic 😷. Especially with so many people concentrated in one area.

As you can see from the video, kids of all ages are participating in the entertainment. Certainly the way things should be.😊 There is no doubt in my mind that these times will return. You can count on me to bring the sights and sounds to you. Who knows, I might even meet you there πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ!

Sailing ⛡️ the Cabo Seas!🀩

Sailing is such a wonderful experience! πŸ˜ƒAbsolutely one of my favorite forms of transportation. You probably could have guessed that from all of the cruise videos that I have posted out on this blog. It is not just the art of sailing that fascinates, but when you couple that with a beautiful location, you get one of my best sails, which is captured here: youtube.com/shorts/CPeOQqsvyqM

Seeing this video instantly takes me back to the roller coaster of emotions that I was experiencing at the time. It was joy, excitement and fear. Enough to make your heart ❀️ skip a beat πŸ˜‚. I had never been on a glass bottom boat tour before but I will absolutely do it again in the future!

Cabo San Lucas is such a beautiful location to go on a boat tour. It has so many different places to visit: The Arch, Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach etc. If you take a look at previous posts in my blog, you will see all of the sights that I captured on this very epic tour!

Hope that you have a great day and an amazing weekπŸ˜ƒ!

Unstoppable Holiday ViewsπŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ

I hope that you are taking some quality time off this time of the year to unwind, relax and rejuvenate for the year ahead.πŸ˜ƒThis year has provided its share of ups and downs but nonetheless, we are still here! Here is a wonderful holiday adventure in Cozumel, just in case you need the break from the cold πŸ₯Ά weather or just a reminder of the summer, feel free to check it out: youtube.com/shorts/8n4TOQkF_Ik

Cozumel never looked as beautiful as it did on that day. It is such an amazing wonder that must been seen in order to adequately appreciate πŸ˜ƒ! If you have never been to Cozumel, do yourself a favor and go. It is truly an amazing place to visit. I have seen some great places in my travels but this one is truly one of the best.

If you are a snow bird πŸ¦…, you may consider taking a trip to this beautiful place. It is what is needed for rest and relaxation. Especially at the Dolphin 🐬 Discovery, which is where this video was taken. If you fancy, swimming with the dolphins, this is most certainly your place. You can also do some much needed shopping, tequila tasting, explore the beach among other things.

This place really has it all for you to thoroughly enjoy yourself and capture memories that are sure to last a lifetime! πŸ˜ƒπŸ™Œβ˜οΈ

View of the DayπŸ˜ŽπŸ–πŸŒ΄

If you need a pick me up for the day, then look no further than this video: youtube.com/shorts/M-yCNDwS7aY

It is sure to bring a smile to your face especially if you enjoy wonderful views. This is an absolute beauty! I could not believe the views that I was seeing. What made it especially great was the lookout point where I was standing. It provided an excellent bird’s eye view of the shore.

This view was captured in the wonderful city of San Jose del Cabo. If you have never visited, do yourself a favor and go. It is literally located about 15 minutes from the well known city of Cabo San Lucas. Cabo is a beautiful city to see, as you can tell from my earlier posts on this blog.

Certainly appreciative of this view during the fall and winter months. I am definitely not a lover of cold weather but the snow views that I have seen on social media and other places are just magnificentπŸ™ŒπŸ˜€!

Happy travels to you all and I hope that you enjoyed the wonderful video above. Have a great day!

Footprints in the Sand 😎!

One of my favorite poems of all time is “Footprints in the Sand”. If you have not read it, I encourage you to do so. Such a powerful message that resonates even more now in the days we live in. I cannot help but think about this poem when I look at this beautiful beach, filled with footprints πŸ‘£ in the sand: youtube.com/shorts/-NVWqJiQ9co

If you are wondering which hotel that this video was taken, it was taken at the Hilton Los Cabos Resort. I was on the balcony of my hotel room which thankfully was an ocean side view. Ocean view rooms are always ideal but they tend to be more expensive.

This particular day, as you can tell from the video, was clear and sunny. We tend to long for these type of days especially during the winter. The great thing about tropical 🐠 locations is that they have these days throughout the whole year. Birds have the right idea to fly south for the winter πŸ˜‚!

Snow birds are very popular this time of the year. There are always warm, tropical locations to flock too. Not a bad way to spend winter πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜ƒβ˜οΈ!

TGIF Vibes – Enjoy 😊!

TGIF- so very glad that the end of the week has come πŸ˜ƒ! This week has been particularly busy, so it will be great to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Usually my idea of rest and relaxation is going on a trip somewhere but it is also particularly gratifying to take some time off at home. Here is a great video especially for a Friday: youtube.com/shorts/W54IrxXwpc0

Sort of gets you in a Friday type of mood, huh. I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson’s music and this is one of my favorite songs of his. Hope that you enjoyed the short video. Got a chance to see this performance in Punta Cana at the Coco Bongo Club there. As you can see, the performance was totally epic!

It is so amazing that he is one of the all-time favorites to impersonate. I have gone many places and I almost have a Michael Jackson impersonation for every location πŸ˜‚! The King of Pop continues to live on from his music as well as from countless impersonations. Sort of like the King of Rock and Roll 🎸, Elvis Presley.

I hope that this Friday finds you safe, healthy and happy wherever you are. Check back early and often for more travel adventures from around the world 🌎!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea πŸβ›±πŸ˜ƒ!

A daily dose of Vitamin Sea can keep you happy and strong πŸ˜‚. Studies have shown that it can greatly reduce burnout occurred from overworking and stress! A good vacation can certainly provide a relief from the stress and mundaneness of a typical week. Here is a video from one of my favorite places to vacation – Cozumel, Mexico: youtube.com/shorts/HhNNddSABwY

This video was taken from my beach chair as I was taking in all of the beauty that Cozumel has to offer. I can still remember some of the sights and sounds of being there. It is an incredible vacation destination that is definitely a must see. I stand amazed every time that I visit. I hope that you will add it to your bucket list for a future trip.

If you have been a follower of this blog, you have undoubtedly seen other videos from Cozumel, in addition to other places that I have had the pleasure of visiting down through the years. I plan to visit even more locations in the upcoming year so stay tuned for other adventures! πŸ˜ƒ
