Fancy Like – Sailing ⛵️

Over the past couple of years, I have grown very fond of sailing. I went from never sailing prior to 2018 to sailing at least once a year. Sailing has a way of calming you as you are out on the sea.

One such voyage is captured here in the beautiful waters of Cabo San Lucas:youtube.com/shorts/wyuJsVzlVGw

The rock structure that you see (the one that looks like a finger) is called Neptune’s Finger and it is located in the Sea of Cortez which is the body of water captured in the video. Seeing views like these, even now, just blows my mind. Especially being this close to it, just amazes me.

During this trip I saw the world famous Cabo San Lucas Arch, Lovers Beach, Pathway to the Pacific etc. What a magnificent sailing trip this was. Cannot wait to go back! 😃

Life is a Beach 🏖😎🙌!

Life is totally a beach 🏖 or something like that 😂! If you have never seen a black sand beach, here is is: youtube.com/watch

This particular beach is called Punalu’u Beach and it is located on the Big Island of Hawaii between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Kau.,If you have seen other blog posts of mine before, I have referenced this particular beach before. The cool thing about black sand is that it is very cool to the the touch. This is mainly due to the minerals that are found in the sand. Hard to believe that black sand is cooler to the touch than white sand 😃

From the video you can tell that it was pretty windy outside. It was a great combination between the nice breeze and the warm (just right) temperature that we experienced on that day. Made for a wonderful day to be outside for sure!

Hopefully you will enjoy this video and as always, if your travel plans take you to the Big Island of Hawaii, make your plans to visit this beautiful beach. You will be glad that you did 😊

Views for days – All Aboard😃!

If you never have been onboard a Carnival Cruise, feel free to take a (pre-pandemic) look at what it is like: youtube.com/shorts/Z3G45L80oDQ

Cruises are just so much fun😎 If you have never cruised before, do yourself a favor and do so, if only once! If you have cruised before, you know the feeling of relaxation that you get from being on a cruise. Unlike anything that I have personally experienced before.

On this particular cruise, we were our way to the Western Caribbean where we spent time in Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel. As you can see from the locations listed, a cruise enables you to see these beautiful locations all in one trip. Otherwise, you would have to book separate trips to each one.

Of course this was pre- pandemic 😷 so things would likely have changed since this time. I plan to cruise again next year and I am definitely looking forward to it. Hope to see you on a future trip!

Smooth Views – Sea of Cortez😎☀️💦

Can you believe how beautiful these views are? They are just spectacular 😀🙌! I still cannot believe that I was on that tour. So thankful that I captured videos and pictures on my phone from the trip.

Places that you go, you are just amazed by the beautiful world that we live in. This is certainly one of those places. You wish that you could teleport back to the tour at any time just to relive it one more time. By far, the best sailing ⛵️ trip that I have ever taken.

Travel truly is the only thing that you buy that makes you richer. You are so much richer from an experience of this kind and from travel of any kind. It broadens your mind and blows you completely away at the same time. Funny how it does that 😀🙌

Sailing to the Cabo Arch😃⛵️❤️!

What a ride this was sailing to the world famous Cabo San Lucas Arch. Check this out and make sure to hold on: youtube.com/shorts/N8DQNLounrY

As you can tell from the video, we navigated some very tough water in order to arrive at our destination. This Glass Bottom boat tour was booked on Trip Advisor and it was excellent! This tour not only takes you to the Cabo Arch but allows you to see other sights along the way: Neptune’s Finger, Lovers Beach etc. I highly recommend choosing this tour should your travel plans take you to Cabo San Lucas😃.

The Arch itself is an awesome wonder. It was well worth the rocky, choppy seas to arrive at this beautiful location. The video provides but a glimpse of this magnificent wonder but the in person view will leave quite an impression! You will definitely want to come back for sure.

Hope that you enjoy the video. It is actually longer but I have edited it to capture the great parts 😂!

Carnival Cruise into a new week😎🏖🕺🏾

Have you ever seen a cruise ship? If you have never been on a cruise or it has been a while, take a look at this video of the Port of Cozumel: youtube.com/shorts/_-r2pSrIviQ

As you can see, they are massive 😂! It makes you seriously wonder, how are they able to float on the water? It is an amazing phenomenon. Especially when you take into account the weight of the ship and the weight of hundreds of people that are on the ship.

Carnival Cruises does a phenomenal of making the cruise experience so enjoyable. I was, for along time, a person that did not want to take a cruise. I seriously could not fathom why anyone would want to do it. I could not see how it could be fun in any way.

Boy was I wrong..it was an experience like none other. After the first cruise, I was hooked and I have been cruising ever since🤩! Truly the most fun that you can have on a vacation is taking a cruise. There is something for everyone and you are left with a lifetime of memories.

Weekend Vibe from Hawaii

Wanted to share a video of the magnificent hotel that I had the pleasure of staying in during my vacation: youtube.com/shorts/T_8d8zJxzL8

What a beauty of a hotel this is 😀! As you can see from the video, it is so picturesque. This particular hotel is called the Hilton Waikoloa – Ocean Tower. This hotel is located in the Waikoloa Village which contains other hotels and restaurants also.

If the Big Island of Hawaii is on your bucket list, make your plans to stay here. You will certainly not regret it, it is so worth it!

Sliding into the new week- Kalahari

Perhaps no other way to slide into the last full week of August except like this: youtube.com/shorts/pMuERCsgXHE

Definitely had fun on this particular ride at the Kalahari WaterPark in Round Rock, Texas. What an absolute joy it was to be able to feel the breeze of the wind gusts going down the tube and to feel the nice cold water from the gigantic splashes 😂. Does life truly get any better than that!

At first you go through the nervous energy of should I or shouldn’t I, then you take the plunge, only to get to the bottom and want to do it all over again!😃 Perhaps no better way to beat the heat than to take a waterpark adventure.

Good times are to be had by all while visiting Kalahari, the only indoor WaterPark in Texas. You will certainly be glad that you did 😃🙌🎊🎉!

Astronaut in the Ocean – Kailua Bay Vibes

Ocean life is definitely the life. If I can be anywhere near the ocean, I am definitely at peace.😀 Here is one of the the best ocean views that I have seen: youtube.com/shorts/RlJINE7uGAY

In this video, I was just observing and enjoying all of the natural beauty before my eyes. Thankfully, I was able to soak in all of the views that I saw here at Kailua Bay. What a beautiful day it was to be outside. Down in this area of Downtown Kona, Hawaii, this bay is on one side of the street and shops and restaurants are in the other side. Can it really get any better than this? 😃

To be able to fully appreciate this area, you must go visit for yourselves. Pictures and videos can only give it so much justice, personal experience is just so much better.

I hope that you all enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed recording it! Have a wonderful day!

Hawaiian Balcony Views for the Weekend

Look at this fantastic view for the weekend: youtube.com/shorts/QtzyqMpFlo4

Is there any better way to get a great weekend started than this view? This is what vacations are made for. Relaxing here is just paradise.

This is a view from the balcony of my hotel room at the Hilton Waikoloa Village – Ocean Tower. One of the best views that I have ever seen in my travels. It is just paradise and I am glad that I am capturing the moments.

Once travel frees up again, this should be a top hotel and location on your travel list!
