Weekend Hula Vibes😎🌺🏝!

Hula Vibes are the best vibes. I got a chance to see this up close and personal at the Smith Family Luau in Kauai Hawaii😃! This trip represented the first time that I had heard ever experienced the Luau experience and I loved it 😍. Here is just a glimpse of what I saw during this very entertaining show: youtube.com/shorts/4VCXpbPVXKU

Hula Dancing is heavily integrated into the Hawaiian 🌺 culture. So much so, that you could have the Luau experience at your hotel or at a different location (like this one) almost anywhere on the island. You literally have your pick of venues. Before visiting Hawaii, I was told by a friend of mine that you have to have the Luau experience at least once. I am certainly glad that I did!

It felt so very good to have checked this experience off the bucket list. When I first visited Hawaii on last year, mostly all of the Luaus were closed due to Covid. Since things are opening up, the Luaus are as well.

Hope that you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed seeing it😃!

Bad Guy Vibes-Hawaii Style🌺😎!

Nothing like a great performance😃! Especially when it involves fire 🔥. I did not know that I was a fan of fire shows until I saw my first fire show in Hawaii. If you have never been to one of these shows, do yourself a favor and sign up for one. I was very fortunate to have this performance at the hotel that I was staying in. Here is just a glimpse of that performance: youtube.com/shorts/E3U5e_Lz6Es

This guy is just talented😃! I shudder to think how many times he might have gotten burned doing this 😂 but he has perfected his trade 😃. The name of the fire show is called the Ahi Uila Fire Show and it can be booked from the Hilton Garden Inn in Kauai. Hawaii.

I really had an awesome time😃. This was so much of a great, rich experience 😃. Turns out that these type of shows are a part of the luau experience and is heavily integrated into the Hawaiian 🌺 culture.

If you would like to see more of this phenomenal fire show, I have additional blog posts and videos that I have recently posted. If you enjoy this one, you will surely enjoy the other blog posts as well.

All aboard to the Na Pali Coast🛳🌺😎!

If you have never been to the Na Pali Coast, you are in for a treat 😃! After cruising for some time, this was one of the best views that I have ever seen. If you have looked at other posts that I have included in my blog, you will be amazed at those views, in addition to this one:. youtube.com/shorts/Z6MajNM4-Ys

Just imagine seeing this view, up close and personal. It was truly breathtaking, to say the least😊. As I have shared before on this blog, if you are interested in this cruise 🚢, feel free to book this cruise through Trip Advisor. It is called the “Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise”. I highly recommend booking this cruise, should your travel plans take you to Kauai, Hawaii.

The cruise is taken onboard a catamaran, which happened to be the first time that I was onboard one. I have seen many on television but this expedition was my first experience. Having had most of my experience onboard Carnival Cruises, I was a little hesitant regarding this cruise – since it was a much smaller ship.

Turns out, my fears were totally unfounded 😂! It was such a smooth ride and I enjoyed the whole experience. Hope that you will make your plans to book the Na Pali Sunset Cruise in the foreseeable future!

Happy Earth Day 🌎😃!

Happy Earth Day to one and all 😃! Hope that you enjoyed Earth Day and that you commit to doing something that helps our world to be a better place to live in. Only one Earth 🌍 so we have to take care of it. Speaking of the Earth, I have a special video using one of our planet’s elements, fire 🔥. If you have never seen a fire show before, please take a look at this beautiful one: youtube.com/shorts/Ztgo9iUJBx8

Hope that you enjoyed it and also hope that you will have an opportunity to see one in person. It is certainly a sight to see for sure. I got an opportunity to see this gem at a hotel that I was staying in while visiting Kauai. I did not know what to expect but I can truly say that this exceeded my expectations.

The dancers were so extremely talented – to be as skilled as they were with all of the fire that they were handling was just superb! I hope that you enjoy the video and that you had an amazing Earth Day on yesterday and that you are having a wonderful weekend!

Na Pali Sea Adventures😱😃⛵️⛵️!

The sea helps me be me 😂! Cruising is quickly becoming a favorite past time for me. Once I return from a cruise, wherever it is, I soon make plans to embark on another adventure 😃. I spent the majority of my life not really cruising at all. It is really within the past 4 years that I have really started taking cruises. If you have followed this blog for a while, you know that there was a period of time that I questioned whether or not cruising could be fun. Which means that even if you have not taken cruises in the past, there are present and future opportunities to give it a try😃

Admittedly, most of my cruise experiences have taken place aboard a Carnival Cruise 🚢. So when I recently visited Kauai, I was not sure of what to expect onboard the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise. I had never been on a catamaran before, so I was not sure what the experience would be like. Wow, was I amazed from this experience! I have captured some of it here (hang on 😂): youtube.com/shorts/Zn4zhPoex0A

Isn’t that just incredible? The catamaran was a little slippery so I had to make sure to balance myself while capturing these spectacular views. Views like these are why travel makes you speechless and a storyteller all at the same time. It was almost like an out of body experience 😂- could not believe my own eyes 👀.

If you are looking for a wonderful trip just to get away from it all, this is the place to visit. I would go back here in a heartbeat 💓. I had so much fun on the cruise and on the island 🏝 as a whole. You will absolutely love the fun and the experiences that this beautiful location has to offer! 😃

Whale Watching Adventures 😎🐳🏖🏖🌺!

Every once in a while, you get to experience things that you have never seen or done before in your life. I remember my first flight ever, my first international flight, my first job etc. One of the things that I love about travel is that for the most part, it is an opportunity for these type of things to happen. There is a whole world out there that most of us have only seen a fraction of but we are aspiring to see much more.

Ladies, gentlemen and kids – I was completely blown away from having my first whale watching experience. I sat there with my mouth open while within a few yards or so, there were whales frolicking about in the water 😂! Thankfully, I captured this experience on my camera and here it is: youtube.com/shorts/3qHo8PXBQx8

Did you see that huge tail 😳? I was astounded 😮 and could not believe my own eyes 👀. This is totally stuff that you see on tv, but surely not with your own eyes 👀? Yes, I got to see with my own eyes these colossal creatures. If there is an experience that tops that, I have yet to see it.😊

This expedition was part of the Na Pali Sunset Cruise excursion located in Kauai, Hawaii. If you are ever interested in booking this tour, please do so on Trip Advisor. As you cruise, you will experience wonderful sights (like these) and sounds that will take your breath away!😃

Happy Easter😎❤️🙌!

Hope that everyone had a great Easter Sunday! I certainly did – it was a great feeling to be out and about, enjoying family, friends and the weather. Memories are what life is really all about. It has been rightly said the people forget the years and remember moments. Here is one of the those beautiful moments that make life much more beautiful:youtube.com/shorts/qwCvJFsWBIE

This video shows a magnificent sunset along the beautiful shores of the Napali Coast in Kauai, Hawaii. If you would like to book this tour for yourself, you can do so on Trip Advisor. The tour is called the Napali Sunset Cruise. It was totally incredible and you are sure to enjoy the experience.

This is a beautiful sunset especially for an Easter Weekend. It shows the magnificent splendor of this beautiful world that we live in. Hope that you enjoy the video and that you enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

Hula 🌺Vibes for Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday to one and all😃! What a great Friday to be alive and what a wonderful end to another week. If you have ever visited a luau or even if you have not, you are sure to enjoy this video: youtube.com/shorts/L-s-neTrA-E

Hope that you liked this video! 😀 It was so amazing to be able to see this live and in person. The dancers were just so very talented. The great thing about visiting the beautiful island of Kauai is that they have luaus and fire shows virtually everywhere, especially since Covid restrictions are starting to get more relaxed 😎.

On this particular day, I was visiting the Coconut Marketplace in East Kauai, when I heard some beautiful music and I saw a crowd of people congregating around a stage in the center of the marketplace. Since I am very curious, I thought that I would follow the music 🎶. In doing so, I found these beautiful hula dancers and singers.

The music was so very beautiful 🤩 and of course the dancing was top notch also!😃 It was honestly just great to be outside and around other people again – mask free😃! From visiting the island 🏝, I developed more of an appreciation for the people, food and the beautiful culture!

Feel free to visit this blog, early and often for more travel adventures! Looking forward to more and more travel days ahead.

Sailing the Seas of Paradise ⛵️😎🏝

Paradise has absolutely never looked better than the shores of Kauai!! If you have followed this blog for some time, you have seen the recent videos that I have taken from aboard the Na Pali Sunset Cruise 🚢. After many travels, there are few things that gets you excited and amazed all at once. There are also few things that make you in awe of what you are seeing. Well, ladies in gentlemen, this video and others taken that day, left me speechless 😶 and that is totally hard to do: youtube.com/shorts/1bIHv8-NN8g

Would have loved to be able to explore that coast just a little bit more. I was impressed seeing the beautiful mountains and the seas. Felt as if I was having an out of body experience. 😂 I would recommend taking this tour for anyone looking to have some fun on vacation in a very safe environment. Safety protocols were followed every step of the way and everyone went home safely after the cruise was over.

Cruising has always been a favorite past time for me. I was glad to have added this location to my list and I am looking forward to adding additional locations as I continue to travel. It goes totally without saying that this has been the best experience so far.

Hope that you are enjoying this blog and the beautiful videos that I am sharing. I look forward to sharing more in the near future 😀!

Aloha Vibes for the Weekend 😎🌸🏝!

Nothing like beautiful vibes and views for the weekend!😎 No doubt, the premier way to spend a weekend is going to a place that you have never been or going to a familiar place that you have been before. One of the best trips that I have taken was visiting the island of Kauai. If you peruse the articles of my blog, you will definitely see countless videos about Hawaii amongst other beautiful locations and countries. Here is a great video of one of the absolute best places that you can visit while you are visiting the island of Kauai: youtube.com/shorts/ZoTMr10urZs

This magnificent location was captured on the beautiful property where the Smith’s Luau was held. It was an absolute dream place to visit, as you can tell from the video. This view is the epitome of why people take vacations. Certainly a perfect way to spend a weekend or any other day during the week.

This property consists of acres and acres of pure fun 🤩! Almost wish that I could have just stayed at a hotel there to be able to explore that grounds a lot more. The place even has an amphitheater and a trolley 🚎 😂. Gives you an idea of just how vast this property is! Whenever you visit Kauai, make this place a must visit! 😃
