Waterfall Chaser 😃💦💦🏝

Who doesn’t like chasing waterfalls? Until I visited Hawaii recently, I did not know how much I would love ❤️ chasing waterfalls😃! They are so majestic and the sounds are so relaxing 😎. Waterfalls are absolutely one of the beautiful wonders of nature. Getting outside and chasing waterfalls really gives me a rush. Here is a beautiful video of Akaka Falls, located in the the Akaka Falls State Park: youtube.com/shorts/0dVk-xZ_t-k

I hope that you enjoyed the video😃! I am hoping that you enjoy it enough that you are considering even going to see it for yourself🙌. Once you visit one, you cannot wait to go visit another. As I captured this video, my mouth was wide open the entire time, 😳 in total disbelief of what I was seeing.

Imagine observing a giant that is standing in front of you. It is thousands of feet tall and just massive😀. You feel like an ant 🐜 compared to the size of the giant. That is pretty much how you feel in the presence of one of these awesome wonders. It also makes you realize that there are beautiful things in this world 🌎 that leaves you speechless at the time and makes you a storyteller from then on. I look forward to seeing more things as I cover the earth 🌍 before it covers me.

Please follow this blog for more adventures😃! I love to travel and share unbelievable content with everyone. Who knows, maybe sometime along the way, I will encourage you all to work, vacation and repeat also 🙌

Hawaii Pool Vibes😎🏝🌸🏝!

I absolutely love pools and what could be better than pool vibes in Hawaii!😎This resort was just what the doctor ordered. This resort is called the Sheraton Coconut Beach Resort in Kauai. Love the great vibrations that I was feeling here: I have attached a short video to provide an idea of the beautiful vibes that this hotel had ti offer: youtube.com/shorts/CzPVeJFOaCU

Who would not want to stay here? It is absolutely beautiful and you can tell, from the video, that folks were having an extremely great time!😎 Pool and Beach views at this hotel were all just next level. When I travel, it is always my goal to boldly go, where I have not gone before – just like Star Trek!

If you are thinking of visiting Kauai in the near future, this is most certainly your place to stay. Surrounding areas have all of the shops and restaurants that you would want to see, in addition to experiencing a lot of the tourist locations and learning about the Hawaiian 🌺 culture.

From the video, you can see that this place is an absolute dream 😴. The amenities are top notch and the landscape is meticulously manicured in and around the hotel. You will definitely be glad that you visited this gorgeous hotel. Make sure to check the ratings to make sure that it meets your expectations!

Living My Best Life😎🌺⛵️⛵️!

Living my best life is always the goal ! Traveling to exciting places and seeing a whole new world 🌎, makes living life worthwhile 😀. After visiting one location, I look forward to visiting another, soon thereafter! Here is just a glimpse of the fun that I had: youtube.com/shorts/tU3-ynUbwjY

As you can tell, these families were having a total blast 💥! I was enjoying all of the whale 🐳 and dolphin 🐬 watching. This was a cruise of a lifetime. I have never been on a more exciting cruise 🚢 in my life.

This is the first time I had been on a whale and dolphin watching cruise. It was just totally amazing 🤩! I have been on many cruises before (check out my blog to see more) 😂, but this cruise 🚢 was absolutely superb.

Kauai can be characterized as just superb also 😀. Trust me, if you visit this beautiful location, you will not want to go home 😂. I wanted to become a resident after visiting for less than a week. It is such an easy going place, the main highway has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour 😂. Cannot get any more easy going than that!

All Aboard to Adventure😃🔥❤️❤️!

Cruising always for a great time 😃! All aboard to great adventures always 😃! Here is a video that I captured of a cruise ship preparing to set sail: youtube.com/shorts/ESXUthxPMEc

I could feel the excitement in the air as I walked by! I had just disembarked my sunset cruise 🚢 of the Na Pali Coast when I walked past this ship. When you decide to go on a cruise in Hawaii, you will see incredibly awesome views! These views will take your breath away and you will be left speechless 😶.

Those folks was in for an incredible time. I almost wanted to shout that out to them as I was headed back to my car 😂. Figured that they would find that out very soon 😂.

If you would like to see a few of the views that I captured while sailing ⛵️ the Na Pali Coast, feel free to peruse my blog where you will see incredible views while I was out at sea 🌊. Would definitely do this cruise again and look forward to setting sail again in the near future.

Evening in Na Pali😎🏝🌞!

What a wonderful evening in Na Pali 😃! Absolutely the best sail expedition that I have ever been on. Take a look at this magnificent view: youtube.com/shorts/Q65gP5kpoys

It is so incredibly beautiful 🤩- almost looks like a clip from a movie 🎥. Must admit that I was pretty excited to try out the cinematic photography mode on my iPhone 13😃! This video adequately captures the magnificent views that I experienced while on this beautiful sunset cruise 🚢.

Absolutely jaw dropping views from onboard this beautiful catamaran! Must admit that this is the first time that I have actually had a catamaran experience. It was incredible and I would certainly sail on another one again. I have cruised aboard humongous cruise liners many times but never a catamaran😃!

The best views by far are on the front of the catamaran😃. It can also, unfortunately, be the wettest part of the ship also! Make sure to take caution ⚠️ as the boat is moving faster because you will most certainly get wet 😂.

Enjoy the video and check back for more travel adventures of the exciting kind here on this blog😃🏝!

Living on the Edge😎🏖🌴🌴!

Living on the edge has never felt better 😀! Taking a trip to an unbelievable place is definitely rewarding and provides a respite from normal life. I have attached a link to a video that was captured from onboard a catamaran as the crew and I are sailing ⛵️ along the coast of Kauai: youtube.com/shorts/hfCorsdWvIk

It just so happened to be a beautiful day and a spectacular one for sailing ⛵️. Even during an almost 6 hour tour, it just did not seem long enough. Just wanted to experience more whale 🐳 and dolphin 🐬 watching, in addition to taking in more views and vibes of the ocean and mountains from the boat 🛥 tour.

It has been said that you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. There is lot of truth in that statement. You only get one chance at life without the ability to do it over again. Vacation always reminds me of the importance of stopping to smell the roses 🌹, as you walk the path of life.

Attempting to get to the edge of the catamaran was tricky, because all of the water made the deck slippery. Thankfully 😅 I did not get dangerously close to the edge to capture the views. My goal on vacation, is to make sure that all the fun 🤩 is accomplished without the danger ⛔️ 😂. Arrive alive and leave better than you came!

Hope that you enjoy the video and that you will plan to vacation here or somewhere else this year. Especially with things looking a whole lot better on the travel front from a Covid 19 perspective 😀! Happy sails and trails 😎🙌👋!

Just Cruising-Hawaii Style😎🌴🌴🌊!

Nothing like cruising on a catamaran- soaking in all of nature’s beautiful views😎! The more exotic the location, the more impressive the views are. If you have followed this blog for some time, you realize that cruising is one of my favorite pass times 😂. By far, this has been one of the best cruises that I have ever taken: youtube.com/shorts/bd7PHD-f9cE

This video is so incredible 😍! I enjoyed this whole experience to the fullest. The experience was one that I will never forget. Hope that you enjoy it and that you will book this excursion should you ever vacation in Kauai.

After having visited the Big Island of Hawaii on last year, I was thoroughly impressed! As I am writing this blog post now, I am still impressed. The combination of waterfalls, beaches, mountains (skiing takes place there – unbelievable) and the only active volcano on the Hawaiian 🌺 islands (Kilauea), is hard to beat on any island.

Kauai blew all of my expectations out of the water 💦. It was such a relaxing trip and the views are second to none 🤩! The otherworldly views are like none that I have ever seen. It is no wonder that Jurassic Park movies were filmed here. I feel like I need to watch each of them again to see all the beautiful scenery that I can now name after seeing the island on vacation.

Hope that you will make your plans to visit Kauai in the near future and that you will visit this blog, early and often, for more travel adventures😎!

Sailing on the Na Pali Coast😎⛵️🏝☀️!

Until visiting Kauai this month, I had never been on a subset catamaran tour. Full disclosure, I had never been on a catamaran ever 😂! I have seen rich celebrities, on tv, aboard these but have never had the experience. If you ever sail on one of these boats, the best views are in the front. You can see why, by viewing this video: youtube.com/shorts/cFN1IrzTijQ

Spectacular views indeed and I am thankful for the experience! Part of traveling for me, is trying something new. That being said, I am not afraid to open myself up to brand new experiences. I was greatly rewarded for my courage because the Na Pali Sunset Cruise in Kauai was just what the doctor ordered.😃

It was by far the best cruise that I have taken to date. If you have followed this blog, you know how much of a cruiser I am. I could possibly work for the cruise industry at this point in time 😂. I truly love being on the water 💦 as often as possible. In fact, most of the excursions, on trips that I have taken, involved water in some way, shape or form.

This particular excursion, as the name implies, is 6 hour in duration and one of the only ways to view the Na Pali Coast. On land, it would take forever, by air, it would be expensive etc. Seeing the dolphins and whales are worth the price of the tour alone! The bonus views are the mountains that looks like you’re in Jurassic Park and the beautiful water 💦.

Hope that you enjoy the video and will make your plans to go to Kauai and take this tour! You will thank me later 😃🙌

Cruising the Na Pali Sea😎⛵️🌴!

How I absolutely love cruising😃! There is nothing like being out in the water and just hearing the beautiful sound of the waves. It is so much of a freeing feeling – takes you away from the day to day routine which shackles us all at times. I saw some of the most magnificent views that I have ever seen during my trip to Kauai. They are truly incredible: youtube.com/shorts/NGDGVS_cguE

Absolutely breathtaking views along the Na Pali Coast in Hanalei. This Na Pail Subset Cruise was booked on Trip Advisor and ladies and gentlemen, it was worth the price of admission. I guarantee you, the views that you will see onboard are just jaw dropping 😆.

I have seen beauty in many forms as I have traveled, I was left speechless to describe what I was seeing as we sailed along the Na Pail Sea 🌊. It was almost otherworldly views to me as I took the tour. If the views were not enough, we encountered whales and dolphins, which I had never experienced before. Toward the end of the tour, the crew provides a delicious dinner – the perfect end to a wonderful day at sea.

I highly recommend this tour! You will thoroughly enjoy seeing all the beauty that the Na Pali Coast has to offer 😃.

TGIF – Let’s Dance💃 🕺🏾!

Friday is here – hooray to the end of the week!😃 Hope that you had a great week so far and that you are having a Fantastic Friday. Something about Fridays that really gets you in the dancing mood! I am reminded of the last cruise 🚢 that I took, that had me in a dancing mood. Here is a snippet of that wonderful time: youtube.com/shorts/Z9rmuT0Ouws

Sort of gets you moving – I love that great song 🎵😃. We were on our way to the Western Caribbean and as you can tell, we were just a tad bit excited 😂. Of course seeing the number of people all together, it goes without saying that these were pre-pandemic times. Sailing as I understand it, has resumed at ports. It is fully expected with the decline in Covid cases recently, that cruising will come back in a huge way.

This particular cruise took me to Costa Maya, Belize and lastly to Cozumel. My blog contains a number of videos from all of these places. Feel free to take a step through some of my previous posts to see great, original videos that you will not find anywhere else.

If you are traveling to either of the locations that I have listed above, you are sure to have an amazing time. When you are cruising to these different ports of call, you are given some hours (5 – 6) to take in the experience of the location and then it is time to get back on the ship 🚢 to cruise to another location. It is fun 🤩 and you are certainly left wanting even more time onshore.

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will make your plans to travel sometime in the near future.
