Absolutely love the views here 🤩🙌

I absolutely love beautiful resort views.😎Quite nothing at all like it. If you are a fan of beautiful views, you might want to take a look at this one:youtube.com/shorts/wzJ7bSNTHYc

Whether you are a golf fan or not, this is truly incredible ❤️. This view was captured at the Kings’ Landing Hotel in Kona, Hawaii. The hotel itself was surrounded by so many tropical views. You could literally take pictures everywhere here.

The golf ⛳️ course is one of the best that I have seen in a paradise location. I must say that I did not, unfortunately, get a chance to play at the golf course but I would love to go back again to play a few links!

Hope that you enjoy the beautiful video. If you get a chance to visit this gorgeous place, you will have an absolute blast 💥! The Big Island of Hawaii is worth the trip😃🙌.

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 Eve 2021: Travel Highlights 😎🙌

Final countdown to the end of the year. We are literally hours away from the start of a brand new year, 2022. No matter what we were expecting in 2021, the year in so many ways, exceeded some and fell woefully short of expectations. Here is some travel highlights from the past year: youtube.com/shorts/ycMXtiBRVw0

Hawaii was incredible and as you can tell from earlier posts, it was the best travel location by far. The gorgeous views cannot be replicated, it lays claim to its own picture perfect view of paradise. Hopefully some, if not all of you, had an opportunity to travel somewhere during the course of 2021. If not, hopefully 2022 will be a better year for travel.

Beaches are some of my favorite places to visit. All of the beaches in this video, were taken in Hawaii. I never seen a beach that I have not liked but these beaches are next level. I plan to visit another Hawaiian island on next year to experience even more of the LiveAloha experience.

Hopefully you enjoy the video above and that you will visit this blog early and often in the new year for other travel adventures! 😆

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! 😃

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope that you enjoy your day. I look forward to this time of the year. Absolutely the most perfect time of the year especially after a very eventful year. Got an opportunity to check a major destination off of my bucket list, Hawaii. Here is one of the best videos from that trip: youtube.com/shorts/3s1jIVh5VdI

I love the beautiful contrast between the blue water and the black sand. It is just magnificent!😄 What an excellent location to spend your time. I highly recommend visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. You will not only see beautiful beaches like the one of the video, but also waterfalls and mountains 🏔.

Hawaii is a must see for anyone that needs a vacation from the ordinary. Out of all the destinations that I have visited, Hawaii is the very best!😄 I look back at these pictures and I am amazed still. I know that you will be amazed! 😃

Waterfall Chaser😎!

How I love chasing waterfalls! I am on a personal mission to see as many as I possibly can. Here is one that I saw recently that I wanted to share with you: youtube.com/shorts/OQCe3I9QvOk

Such a beautiful scene😻. Hard to believe that I got this close to one. In Akaka State Park in Hawaii, there are two: Akaka Falls (this one) and Kalua Falls. They are so incredible to see in person. You will be completely blown away by the beauty!

Before going to this park, I had never seen a waterfall before other than in videos posted online. I was determined that this would be the trip that I would have this experience. I looked up the directions from my hotel room and made the trek to boldly go where I had never gone before 😂.

What I did not realize at the time is how mountainous the Big Island of Hawaii is. As I got to higher elevations, my ears were popping and the road seemed more and more winding. When I saw the “Watch out for falling rocks” signs, uh 🙄 I got a little nervous 😬.

Thankfully 😅, I did not encounter any falling rocks 🪨 along the way but I captured some unbelievable views from within the park. It was a dream come true! 😃

Paradise Found – Black Sand Beach 🏖 😎🏖

If you have never seen a black sand beach before, take a look at this beauty: youtube.com/shorts/DuYuHBMULK8

I love the great contrast between the sand and the blue water😃. What a spectacular day it was to be there also. I was particularly grateful on this day because on my previous visit to this beach, it was raining cats and dogs 😂. I had no other choice but to leave because the weather was so bad.

On my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I was looking forward to having this experience. I could not wait to experience this for myself. The sand was so cool to the touch, if it was possible to take some of the sand back to me, I would have, just as a great souvenir!

After going to my first black sand beach, I am now looking for opportunities to go to other black sand beaches! They are so beautiful and an awesome wonder. I will need to visit the Big Island again to see if I can visit a green sand beach 🏖. Imagine how cool that would be!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🌊 😎!

Vitamin Sea helps me be me!😀Nothing else like it for sure. If you cannot be near it 24/7, memories of being near the ocean adequately suffices 😂. Here is a video of cruising near the coast of the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/026Ud8YYfF4

That water is a perfect color of blue. It is so very inviting. There are times that I wish I can teleport to different parts of the world 🌎. Maybe this technology will exist one of these days but in the meantime, imagination will do.

This particular video was captured in the downtown area of the Big Island. Down in this area of town is where the Iron Man Competition is held. Competitors also train in this area of town. Pretty cool huh 🤔?

As you can see, this was a picture perfect day to be out and about. I was living out a childhood dream that I had so many years ago to set foot on the island of Hawaii. I was certainly not disappointed and I look forward to visiting more Hawaiian Islands as I continue my travels.

Easy Vibes for the Weekend😃!

Happy weekend to you! Made it through another week to see a magnificent day. I wanted to share a magnificent day that I had on a black sand beach in Hawaii called Punalu’u beach. If you have never seen a black sand beach before or even if you have, take a look at this beautiful one: youtube.com/shorts/CTDX2HnDhlk

Before visiting on this day, I had never seen a black sand beach. I had heard about them but have never set foot on one. As you can see, it is very beautiful 😻. Furthermore, the sand is so cool to touch unlike white sand beaches which tend to be hot as the temperature rises outside.

This particular day was not sunny but overcast. This turned out to be the calm before the storm because within a few minutes, the rain 🌧 poured down in buckets 😂. I had actually planned on visiting Mount Kilauea, about 40 minutes away, but due to the rainstorm, I decided to head back to the hotel.

I look forward to visiting this beautiful , beach again in the future but until then I will hang on to these magnificent memories. Hope that you enjoy the video! 😀
