Travels within the USA

Morning Views from Above🤩

I love waking up to early morning views. If I am traveling, I prefer to wake up to ocean and nature views. Here is a beautiful nature view that I captured from a recent visit to a resort: youtube.com/shorts/sb0V2qhjEQw

It is absolutely “just like 🔥”😊! I love magnificent views such as these. I must admit, the well manicured golf ⛳️ greens add an extra touch to this great view. I feel that these types of views, help to get you ready for the day ahead. The peace within that you feel, makes you so glad that you took the time to travel.

Traveling opens your eyes to the beautiful world 🌎 in which we live. Of course with the omicron variant running rampant, there seem to be more cancellations than flights. Hopefully things will go back to normal sometime soon which will enable us to get on with the business of travel.

Views like the one that I captured above, makes the whole travel experience worthwhile. It is certainly time well spent, in the chaotic, ever changing world that we live in.

Michael Jackson Vibes😎🎵🎵

One of my favorite artists of all time is the King of Pop😀! His music still lives on, even though he is no longer with us. To my surprise, when I was visiting Jamaica, I was able to attend a concert at my hotel: Hilton Rose Hall. Here is a snippet of the performance: youtube.com/shorts/I_lqCaIU7rY

It was a great impersonation of Michael Jackson, down to the make up and dance 💃 🕺🏾moves. He was truly one of a kind but so was this hotel 🏨! If you ever venture to Montego Bay, Jamaica, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. It has wonderful performances, like the one above, and it is luxury personified. It has all of the amenities that you would want and the best part, it is all inclusive.

This has been my only all inclusive experience throughout my travels. It is totally the way to go for sure. All of the food and drinks are included in the price of the hotel. Cannot get any better than that.😀😀

If you would like to see the other Smooth Criminal performance that I captured from this concert, feel free to look at the previous posts in my blog. Have a great day!

Left my ❤️ in San Francisco 😃!

The City by the Bay is one of the best cities that I have ever visited. I fell in love with this beautiful city when I first visited back in 2004. Since then, I have visited multiple times and even captured my last trip to this gorgeous city (albeit a short video) which gives you a taste of the fun that I have experienced: youtube.com/shorts/ViyVfkQX4TU

Most of these shots were captured on a cruise tour of the Golden Gate Bridge. The scenery was spectacular but the weather was very cold 🥶. Especially out on the water 💦. As it was famously said, “The coldest winter ever, was a summer in San Francisco” 😂.

This is so very true. If you have ever visited San Francisco, you know what I am talking about. I always bring a jacket with me because I know how the weather is in downtown San Francisco. Bundle up, you will thank me later.😃 It is very cold 🥶 near the water.

San Francisco has some of the best seafood I have ever tasted. So many great restaurants all in one place. Pier 31 is always a favorite stop of mine. I have eaten at plenty of restaurants there and they are all very good.

When you are there, you can view Alcatraz across the Bay. If you are so inclined, you can take a tour of the famous prison. I still have this on my to do list. I have heard that it is one of the best things to do in San Francisco.

Hope that you enjoy the video and will make your plans to visit San Francisco.

Beautiful Destination😎🌴😃!

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations! This was certainly the case going through all of the travel restrictions in 2020 and waiting for that next travel adventure. Thankfully, it was Hawaii, one of the most beautiful destinations in the world 🌎. While riding as a passenger, I captured this incredible stroll along the coastline in downtown Kona, Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/86mIOxgIlWE

If only I can see views like these every day 😂! These are views that you cannot wait to see when you get there and views you cannot wait to share once you have left. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you travel 😃. There are so many places to see and just so little time to see them.

This particular stroll was part of a sight seeing tour that I booked while vacationing there in Kona. This tour took you through downtown Kona, to a coffee farm (Kona has the best coffee), to a hometown bakery, a black sand beach (I have videos on my blog) and lastly the tour took us to the only active volcano on the Hawaiian Islands, Mount Kilauea.

If all that was not enough, the tour provided lunch and dinner. Pretty impressive huh 🤔? I thought so and would happily do this tour again to soak in more of the spectacular views. I highly recommend doing this tour to see all there is to Kona.

The island is truly remarkable and it has made me even more of a fan of Hawaii. Truly in a class by itself for vacations!

New Years Vibes: Best Wishes😃😎!

Happy 2022 to all of you😀! Wishing you all a safe and prosperous New Year. Thanks for following my blog and for the comments that I have received in 2021. I am certainly ready for more and more travel adventures in 2022 and I hope that you are as well. I have composed a recap of my Kalahari Resorts visit and I would like to share it with you: youtube.com/shorts/0bXFikwSCkI

Hope that you enjoyed the video. Kalahari, both the beautiful resort and the indoor water park, greatly exceeded my expectations!😃 If you have never been, hopefully you will take a trip in this new year. The one that I visited, opened up in November 2020 and it is located in Round Rock, Texas. There are other locations here in the USA so there should be one near where you live.

Did I mentioned that it is indoors 😂? Which means that you can experience the whole water park experience in the climate control confines of the indoors, no matter what the weather may be outdoors. Perfect escape from the frigid cold weather that you may be experiencing in other parts of the USA or otherwise.

Wishing you and your families all the best that this New Year has to offer and I encourage each of you to work, vacation and repeat as often as you can this year!😀🙌

Unstoppable Holiday Views😎🙌

I hope that you are taking some quality time off this time of the year to unwind, relax and rejuvenate for the year ahead.😃This 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 🥶 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 😃! 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 🦅, 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! 😃🙌☝️

Happy Holidays- Dance in the Rain 🌧😀!

There is an old saying that goes like this: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain”. This is so very true. We have storms in life that seem so overwhelming but we cannot lose hope😃! We must learn the importance of dancing 💃 🕺🏾in the midst of the storm. Realizing that storms do not last always but as we see in rainstorms, they appear for a while and all of the sudden they are gone. I observed a storm in, of all places, Hawaii. The beauty of the storm at this beach, kept me continuing to capture this video: youtube.com/shorts/9CtrmGv8J3Q

Sometimes there can certainly be beauty in the storm ⛈ 😃! As we see in the video, the raindrops are frequent and they are big. Yet the beauty of the water crashing along the shore is captivating. Even through the rain, this beach still continues to amaze me in this video.

This is the only black sand beach that I have visited as I have traveled. I certainly plan to seek out more to explore in the near future because I had so much fun visiting this one. 2022 may certainly provide an opportunity to visit another beach and who knows, maybe it could be a green sand beach, which I have heard so much about! 😃

Counting Down to another year😀!

Another year is almost upon us😀! Hard to believe that 2022 is quickly coming on the horizon. We are in the final week of 2021, and as we prepare for lift off – here is a look at the International Space Station Exhibit from NASA: youtube.com/shorts/9dvMkv-DSaU

Isn’t this just so cool 😎? I enjoyed visiting this magnificent exhibit and definitely encourage you all to visit when you are able to do so safely. I have been blessed to visit multiple NASA locations and I have enjoyed all of them. You can easily spend hours upon hours visiting the beautiful, out of this world exhibits and still want to see more 😂.

I really do not have a favorite location, they are all so very interesting. Space always provides so much mystery and intrigue. We all would like to boldly go where we have never been before. Thankfully, with SpaceX and Blue Origin, we are getting to the point where space exploration is a reality for everyone.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you are getting prepared to lift off to a new year, 2022! 🚀😃💥

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😃!

Christmas is finally here! 😃 Hope that you have enjoyed Christmas 2021. I have enjoyed spending quality time with my family and eating some great food 😋 Take a look at this beautiful view from Hawaii with some great Christmas vibes for good measure: youtube.com/shorts/PncHXf1F2kM

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! Whether you are spending it alone or with family, enjoy every single bit of it. Holidays are a vital part of the work, vacation, repeat process.😃 Everyone needs to take a break from the everyday routine. Does a body good for sure.

The video above was taken on the Big Island of Hawaii at Punalu’u Beach 🏖. Never have found a beach that I did not like 👍. This is one of the best that I have seen.

Enjoy the video and enjoy the rest of Christmas 🎅!

Christmas Vibes 🎅🎅🎄🎄

Christmas is almost here! Just around the corner now- it is hard to believe 😊. This video brings out all of the Christmas feels: youtube.com/shorts/qUObs_d3HjA

I love this time of the year, it is a time for giving and receiving❤️. As you walk around, the Christmas feeling is everywhere. I have seen more smiles than I have seen the entire year 😂. Despite all that we all have been through, we set it aside and get ready to enjoy the holidays.

Absolutely the most wonderful time of the year and the most anticipated. I am enjoying the holidays already, spending time with family and friends. We are doing so in a safe and effective manner and definitely encourage others to do so.

Hope that you all are enjoying the holiday away and that you enjoy the video.
