Waimea Canyon Views-OMG🤩!

If you have never been to Waimea Canyon, run, not walk to visit 😂! It is an incredible place and I got a chance to visit on last week. Here is a view from the lookout point, hope that you enjoy this as much as I did capturing it:youtube.com/shorts/96hD68Zc08I

I have never been to the Grand Canyon but I have heard that it is a lot like this view but less colorful 😃. This beautiful canyon is located on the beautiful island 🏝 of Kauai, Hawaii in the city of Waimea. The Waimea Canyon State Park has a lookout point and trails for hiking 🥾.

I don’t mind telling you that I have never seen views such as these in any of my previous travels before. I was completely blown away by the spectacular colors and the vastness of the canyon. Visiting Kauai, as I mentioned before in a previous post, was otherworldly, almost as if you were on a different planet altogether.

In order to get to the lookout point on the top of Waimea Canyon, you have to drive about an hour from the base of the canyon to reach the top. The elevation of the canyon is 3,400 feet and you totally feel it as you are going up the canyon and hiking on the trails.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will follow this blog to see more travel adventures 😀!

Volcanic Views from Hawaii😎🏖🏖

I cannot describe how otherworldly the views are near the Volcano State Park on the Big Island of Hawaii😊! At this location, you can observe the Chains of Crater Road, which essentially is tons of lava flows that have dried up down through the years and have created this beautiful view: youtube.com/shorts/3i-9ESm9loU

It really looks as if you are on a different planet 🌎 altogether! Other than seeing Mount Kilauea, and chasing the beautiful waterfalls there, this is one of the coolest views that I observed during my time on the island 🏝. As you can tell from the video, it is absolutely a lot to behold 🤩.

Just imagine standing there seeing, as far as the eye can see, these magnificent views. You can also hike around various trails when you are there. The beautiful views cannot be matched from any previous experience that I have had.

Hope that you enjoyed the video and that you plan on visiting Hawaii at some point in the future😃! You will experience phenomenal views like the ones that I have seen.

OMG 😳 – Aloha Friday Vibes😎🏝🏖

Aloha Friday to you all! Hope that everyone had a wonderful week and that you are all looking forward, as I am, to the weekend.😃 How I love the wonderful song 🎵 “Everybody’s working for the weekend”. So much truth is that song . Even more compelling is working for the next vacation 😂! Here is a great example of how vacationing soothes the soul: youtube.com/shorts/KViwW32NtD8

Hope that you enjoyed the video. This is Punalu’u Beach which is located in Kona, Hawaii. What instantly stands out is the black sand which is just magnificent! Very cool to the touch and so beautiful 🤩. On this particular day, these views were the calm before a big storm which would happen about 10 minutes later.

Matter of fact, the storm ⛈ got so severe that I ended my trip there and headed back to the hotel 🏨. I had planned to visit the Kilauea Volcano which was about 30 minutes away. It was so disappointing at the time but thankfully I got a chance to visit this beach 🏖, and the volcano, in sunnier weather later in the week.

With Spring Break right around the corner, I encourage everyone to book some time to get away from it all, whether in Hawaii or someplace close to home 🏡😃!

Live Your Life😊❤️🙌!

“Live Your Life” is a great motto for today😃! We all want to make the most out of life because life is certainly so fleeting. We have become so much more aware of this fact, living in a pandemic world 🌎. The dilemma is determining what is most valuable in life: experiences or possessions or maybe both? I would love to have more possessions but experiences last a lot longer 😂! Case in point, is this experience at a wonderful resort: youtube.com/shorts/TPzKKA8XmrU

That was the view that I saw from my window, every morning that I walked out on the balcony. Absolutely perfect views for a wonderful hotel 🏨. This is the Ocean Tower located on the grounds of the Hilton Waikoloa Village. If you have followed this blog for some time, you would have noticed various videos from this balcony on previous posts.

I really appreciate beautiful experiences such as these. These experiences makes me want to have more experiences like these in the future. Alas, there is so many places and so little time 😊. Which means that prioritization is absolutely the key 🔑.

There were years in which I did not travel because, unfortunately, I did not realize the importance of forward planning for the vacation. My planning would consist of waiting until close to the week that I wanted to go on vacation and then attempt to book travel. Of course, at that time, everything is very expensive and out of my price range. Only when I started to plan for vacation and booked travel arrangements months before, did I start going on vacation.

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will check this blog, early and often, for new travel adventures! 😃

Costa Rica Vibes 😎🏖🏖🏝

Costa Rica is absolutely the island to visit 😃! The views are exceptional and will literally take your breath away. If you have never been to Costa Rica, consider this travel destination on your list. Here is just a preview of the beautiful sights that you will see on this magnificent island: youtube.com/shorts/Hw2gOhl9GoY

Hope that you enjoyed the beautiful views. Island vibes have a way of taking you away from the routine and mundaneness of everyday life. That is why the mantra: Work. Vacation. Repeat. 🔁 should be practiced as much as possible to ensure balance in the crazy world in which we live in.

Costa Rica is one of those places that once you visit, you will want to visit again. So much to see and to do and so very little time to do these things. If you enjoy beaches, beautiful scenery, cliffs, hiking etc. you will definitely enjoy this beautiful paradise.

The vacation is reasonably priced especially considering Hawaii, Bali, Bahamas and other more pricier islands. As always, booking ahead 2-3 months or more will make a material difference!

Check back early and often on this blog for more travel adventures! Have a great day😀.

For Infinity and Beyond 🤩

Lovely views are made to be shared😃! I appreciate every time that I have the opportunity to travel and see views that I have never seen before. Most trips that I have taken within the last few years, have been to tropical 🌴 locations. These trips have provided picture perfect views like this one: youtube.com/shorts/qkJuymFrSVA

It is so very lovely to be able to see this first hand. The beautiful colors of the rocks with the contrast of the beautiful water is just heavenly. Absolutely love travel from infinity and beyond 😂. This breathtaking view is courtesy of Kona, Hawaii – which I had the pleasure of visiting.

Nothing quite like waking up in a place that you have never been. Since I am more of a morning person, I particularly love the early morning sunrises and the beautiful walks along the ocean shore. I truly believe that these early morning moments provide the start to a calm, still, peaceful day😃.

Hope that you’ve enjoyed the video above and that you visit this blog, early and often, for new travel adventures!

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😃🙌.

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! 😆

Driving views from Paradise😃🚗🌴!

Take a look at this beautiful drive, I know you will be just as amazed as I was on the tour: youtube.com/shorts/vDdp1pckEfU

The ocean is the perfect shade of blue. Makes you want to just jump in for a swim 😂. This is the type of beauty that you can expect upon visiting the Big Island of Hawaii! I am sure that you have heard great things and have seen beautiful pictures and videos. Nothing can prepare you for visiting and seeing the beauty first hand.

Before going on this trip, I was warned from a colleague that it is nothing to be compared with my previous trips. To tell the truth, I dismissed this instantly. I told her that I had been to Cabo San Lucas, Montego Bay, Nassau etc. She told me that there is absolutely no comparison 😂.

I went for myself to see and as she suspected, I was completely blown away. I had never previously visited a place that had both beaches, mountains and a live volcano 🌋. I saw all of these with my own eyes and I was astounded 😳.

I hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will make your plans to visit the Big Island of Hawaii in the near future.
