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 πŸ˜‚. 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!πŸ˜ƒ 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 πŸ˜ƒπŸ™ŒπŸŽŠπŸŽ‰!

Adventure Awaits – Aloha Vibes πŸ˜ŽπŸ–πŸ’₯

Sharing just a little more from this epic trip to the Aloha State of Hawaii. Check out this beautiful balcony view: youtube.com/shorts/n-CTlFj5uOk

You can certainly leave the door open for a view like this! Imagine stepping out on your balcony to see a view like this. It is one of the best views that I have seen in my life and for a little while this past spring, I got a chance to thoroughly enjoy it.

You only live one as they say, and supposedly if you do it right, once is enough πŸ˜‚! Well, this would be a paradise scenario for me. I plan to include various parts of Hawaii in my travel itinerary once it is safe to travel again,

I hope that you will put it in your travel itinerary also. It is a must see. 😎

Behold πŸ˜ƒ – Belize πŸ‡§πŸ‡Ώ 🏝 😎!

One of the best places that I have ever visited is Belize! Behold the beauty of this magnificent location here: youtube.com/shorts/huSi1F6itdE

I had just arrived (on this gorgeous day) at around 8:00 am and as you can tell from the video, it was so beautiful. You can look at the views from the port and it gives you just a taste of what Belize has to offer.

While I was there, I got to take a cruise of the Belize River which was just so magnificent. I will share more on future posts, but suffice it to say, it felt good to be able to check this off my bucket listπŸ™Œ.

Hope that you enjoy the video and I look forward to posting more in the days and weeks ahead.

Coming in Hot πŸ₯΅- Mount Kilauea Volcano πŸŒ‹ Vent

Coming in hot on a Thursday πŸ˜ƒπŸŒ‹! Check out the video that I just posted of the only active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. There are volcano vents on the outside of the volcano- just like this one here: youtube.com/shorts/xLKFsRu5OVE

What a sight to see that it was. Just an amazing sight to behold. Before this experience, I had never seen one of these in person but cannot wait to see another one. These vents allow steam and other gases to emit from the base of the volcano. The steam was very hot πŸ₯΅ which contrasted nicely with the cold weather that was outside.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Volcano State Park in Hawaii, please do so. It is such an incredible place to visit while you are there. You will be so glad that you did!

If you have never been on a cruise, take a look at how massive the cruise liners areπŸ‘‰youtube.com/shorts/i1zbjLwKRRA

This particular video was taken in Cozumel, Mexico. The ship had just docked and we were heading into Cozumel for our excursions. It is an amazing sight to see how huge these cruise liners are in person. It almost takes your breath away.

I cannot wait until cruises set sail again. It will be much different, but still should be enjoyable. The requirement is that passengers should all be vaccinated, so make your plans accordingly.
