Check out the new video posted on my channel here πŸ‘‰youtube.com/shorts/GM5QNLhDkMQ

I had an awesome time visiting Kona Hawaii and having the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous resortπŸ˜ƒ! This hotel is top notch and it will exceed any expectations that you might have.

In the video, you will get a glimpse of the exceptionally manicured landscape and the beautiful beach vibes. I wish I could have stayed longer there, it was an absolute joy. Truly one of the best part of waking up is enjoying all that the Fairmont has to offer.

As you can see from the video, I was there oa a very windy day. This trip provided a welcomed escape from a year worth of cancelled trips and despair. If you have an opportunity, check out this magnificent destination. You will definitely not regret it πŸ˜„

Balcony Goals – Hilton Waikoloa – Ocean Tower πŸ˜»πŸŒ΄β˜€οΈπŸ–πŸ™Œ

Look no further for balcony goals than right hereπŸ‘‰youtube.com/shorts/cxa-_HTUaIo. What a magnificent place to spend an excellent vacation. The place is totally heaven on earth 🌍 and I wholeheartedly recommend it! πŸ˜€ Certainly the pictures do not do it justice – you have to see for yourself.

Imagine waking up to a view like this everyday. Views like these, in my mind, is why people travel. It is an awareness of how really small we are in this big wonderful world. In addition to this view, I remember waking up to the sound of the birds 🐦 chirping. The resort is currently being renovated to a timeshare property so make your plans accordingly if you plan to travel to the Big Island of Hawaii soon.

Hope that you enjoy the video in the link above and that you have a great day as well! Stay safe and healthy πŸ˜ŽπŸ–πŸ™Œ

La’ Aloa Bay Beach ParkπŸ˜ŽπŸŒ΄πŸ˜»πŸ–

Excellent beach views while driving along the streets of Kona Hawaii. This has been an absolute dose of paradise that has been greatly needed. Please check out the link here: πŸ‘‰youtube.com/shorts/H92Z13vAfKA

In addition to beautiful black sand beaches (which have been discussed and shown in previous posts), and green sand beaches, the link above shows a traditional white sand beach. La’ Aloa Bay Beach Park was definitely a sight for sore eyes πŸ‘€ πŸ˜€. It is located in the heart of the downtown area, near where the IronMan competition is held.

On this day, it was so beautiful outside, and the water was nice and so very warm. That is why there were so many people there. Getting the daily dose of Vitamin Sea is so important and I am so glad that I got mine from visiting this great place! πŸ˜€πŸ™Œ

Happy Earth Day from Kahuna Falls! 🌍

Happy Earth Day to everyone! πŸ˜€Hope that you are having a great day. We are all living in this world so we all have a shared responsibility to care for the world that we live in. It we all practice Earth Day awareness and sharing everyday, we can really make a difference in a positive way!

I have shared a beautiful nature video of Kahuna Falls on my YouTube channel- it shows the wonderful beauty of the earth and one of its natural wonders. Feel free to check it out here: youtube.com/shorts/8csZFOTMq8g

Nature and travel in general, has a way of taking your breath away and also can leaving you speechless 😢. Natural wonders in all of its magestic forms, makes us acutely aware that we are just a small part of the world. Yet we can do so much if we all just do our part.

Have a wonderful day and stay safe! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘‹

Wow- Akaka Falls is amazing 😻!

Rarely, nowadays, do you come across something that truly takes your breath away! Well, for me, that time has come – ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Akaka Falls: youtube.com/watch

It totally exceeded my expectations. Such a great experience all around. It was time well spent driving the 2.5 hours, through the beautiful mountains of Hilo, to see this great sight! 😍 It left such of a lasting impression on me that I will look for places where there are waterfalls in order to book future vacations.

As part of my travel experiences, I look for excursions that I have never done before. This was one of those type of excursions. I have heard a saying before that, you only live once but if you do it right, once is enough. I certainly subscribe to that philosophy! πŸ˜€πŸ™πŸ‘πŸ™Œ

Hope that you enjoy the video and make sure t lo check this blog for more travel journeys! Have a wonderful day πŸ˜€πŸ™Œβ€οΈ

Ocean Eyes πŸ‘€ in Hawaii πŸŒΈπŸŒŠπŸ– 🏝

It is so very easy to have ocean eyes in Hawaii 😎! So many great views to see!it was literally a heaven on earth 🌎. This particular video is from the beach located outside of the Hilton Waikoloa resort that I stayed in during my vacation on last month.

It honestly felt so great to be out and about after a tough year that 2020 was. I took so many pictures and videos, so there will be more to share. I look forward to more adventures on this year, it certainly will all depend on the vaccine rollout and the requirements for travel that will come out as a result.

From not being able to travel for over a year, I have a renewed sense of appreciation for it. I certainly will never take it for granted. It is in fact a magnificent luxury to be able to do so. I count myself as having been blessed to travel.

Enjoy the video that I have uploaded to YouTube. Feel free to reach out if Hawaii is in your destination plans in the near future.

Some of my best paths in life have always led to the beach πŸ– 😻🏝

There is just something about the beach that provides an automatic relaxation feel.😎 We visit once or many times and cannot wait to visit again. Whether it is the sound of the rushing waves, sand between your toes, or the beautiful sky above, being at the beach gives you the peace within that we desperately long for!

One of the beaches that I visited recently was the Punalu’u Black Sand Beach in Hawaii. First time that I have ever seen black sand on a beach but it was quite cool to the touch on a hot day, like the one captured on the video below. Black sand contains minerals that does not allow if to get hot like white sand. I was able to pick up the sand and look at the beautiful crystals that were on full display.

It was quite a beautiful beach – as you will see below. Cannot wait to visit this beach or any beach, for that matter, πŸ– again! πŸ˜‚ youtube.com/watch

Another Day in Hawaiian 🌺 Paradise 🌞 πŸ– 🌴

Just another day in paradise as the old adage says – and truly this was. This was the reason why I got into traveling in the first place – to see this marvelous world that we live in! It doesn’t matter where you go, travel has a way of instantly making you speechless and a storyteller all at the same time πŸ˜€!

Such as was the case with beautiful Hawaii – the first trip since the start of the pandemic 😷! This bucket list travel destination clearly stands as number one out of all the various locations that I have visited.

One of the reasons for that is captured in the following video that I have shared below. It was taken at the Hilton Waikoloa Village located on the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii! I hope that you enjoy 😊!

A week in Paradise πŸ– 🌴 β˜€οΈ

It was a very long time coming but I finally took my first trip since the pandemic on last week. It was a trip to a location that for years, had been on the bucket list. That location was Hawaii! πŸ™ŒπŸ˜ƒ

Visiting the Big Island of Hawaii (via Kona) was a complete dream come true! I could not believe my eyes seeing the picturesque landscape of mountains, beaches, waterfalls (oh my πŸ˜ƒ). One more thing, Hawaii has volcanoes πŸŒ‹. Truly unbelievable having all of the above in one location literally miles away from one another. The climate and elevation changed as you drove through the mountains and adventured to the Volcano State Park. You went from 85 degrees Fahrenheit on the beach to between 30 and 40 degrees at the volcano and in the mountains.

The people were so very friendly and so accommodating! Some of the best folks that I have ever met. I can truly say that out of all the various places that I have visited, this is truly the best. Here is a video of the sights and sounds of this beautiful paradise. More to come..
