New Years Eve 2021: Travel Highlights πŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ

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! πŸ˜†

Unstoppable Holiday ViewsπŸ˜ŽπŸ™Œ

I hope that you are taking some quality time off this time of the year to unwind, relax and rejuvenate for the year ahead.πŸ˜ƒThis year has provided its share of ups and downs but nonetheless, we are still here! Here is a wonderful holiday adventure in Cozumel, just in case you need the break from the cold πŸ₯Ά weather or just a reminder of the summer, feel free to check it out: youtube.com/shorts/8n4TOQkF_Ik

Cozumel never looked as beautiful as it did on that day. It is such an amazing wonder that must been seen in order to adequately appreciate πŸ˜ƒ! If you have never been to Cozumel, do yourself a favor and go. It is truly an amazing place to visit. I have seen some great places in my travels but this one is truly one of the best.

If you are a snow bird πŸ¦…, you may consider taking a trip to this beautiful place. It is what is needed for rest and relaxation. Especially at the Dolphin 🐬 Discovery, which is where this video was taken. If you fancy, swimming with the dolphins, this is most certainly your place. You can also do some much needed shopping, tequila tasting, explore the beach among other things.

This place really has it all for you to thoroughly enjoy yourself and capture memories that are sure to last a lifetime! πŸ˜ƒπŸ™Œβ˜οΈ

Counting Down to another yearπŸ˜€!

Another year is almost upon usπŸ˜€! Hard to believe that 2022 is quickly coming on the horizon. We are in the final week of 2021, and as we prepare for lift off – here is a look at the International Space Station Exhibit from NASA: youtube.com/shorts/9dvMkv-DSaU

Isn’t this just so cool 😎? I enjoyed visiting this magnificent exhibit and definitely encourage you all to visit when you are able to do so safely. I have been blessed to visit multiple NASA locations and I have enjoyed all of them. You can easily spend hours upon hours visiting the beautiful, out of this world exhibits and still want to see more πŸ˜‚.

I really do not have a favorite location, they are all so very interesting. Space always provides so much mystery and intrigue. We all would like to boldly go where we have never been before. Thankfully, with SpaceX and Blue Origin, we are getting to the point where space exploration is a reality for everyone.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you are getting prepared to lift off to a new year, 2022! πŸš€πŸ˜ƒπŸ’₯

Merry Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽπŸ˜ƒ!

Christmas is finally here! πŸ˜ƒ Hope that you have enjoyed Christmas 2021. I have enjoyed spending quality time with my family and eating some great food πŸ˜‹ Take a look at this beautiful view from Hawaii with some great Christmas vibes for good measure: youtube.com/shorts/PncHXf1F2kM

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! Whether you are spending it alone or with family, enjoy every single bit of it. Holidays are a vital part of the work, vacation, repeat process.πŸ˜ƒ Everyone needs to take a break from the everyday routine. Does a body good for sure.

The video above was taken on the Big Island of Hawaii at Punalu’u Beach πŸ–. Never have found a beach that I did not like πŸ‘. This is one of the best that I have seen.

Enjoy the video and enjoy the rest of Christmas πŸŽ…!

Christmas Vibes πŸŽ…πŸŽ…πŸŽ„πŸŽ„

Christmas is almost here! Just around the corner now- it is hard to believe 😊. This video brings out all of the Christmas feels: youtube.com/shorts/qUObs_d3HjA

I love this time of the year, it is a time for giving and receiving❀️. As you walk around, the Christmas feeling is everywhere. I have seen more smiles than I have seen the entire year πŸ˜‚. Despite all that we all have been through, we set it aside and get ready to enjoy the holidays.

Absolutely the most wonderful time of the year and the most anticipated. I am enjoying the holidays already, spending time with family and friends. We are doing so in a safe and effective manner and definitely encourage others to do so.

Hope that you all are enjoying the holiday away and that you enjoy the video.

Driving views from ParadiseπŸ˜ƒπŸš—πŸŒ΄!

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 πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ˜‚.

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 πŸŒ‹. 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.

Paradise Found – Black Sand Beach πŸ– πŸ˜ŽπŸ–

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 waterπŸ˜ƒ. 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 πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ–. Imagine how cool that would be!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🌊 😎!

Vitamin Sea helps me be me!πŸ˜€Nothing else like it for sure. If you cannot be near it 24/7, memories of being near the ocean adequately suffices πŸ˜‚. 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 πŸ€”?

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.

Mood for a New Week 😊

Nature views are some of the best views that you can observe. A mix of nature views and lush golf greens make for a beautiful video that I captured recently: youtube.com/shorts/e2wfbPKZ5ac

Lovely views indeed 😊! This was the view from my bedroom window this past weekend at a luxury resort. This is the best part of waking up wherever you may be πŸ˜‚. This is why you travel, to see views that are not a part of your everyday reality.

Whenever I travel, in addition to wanting the window seat for views, I also am fairly picky when it comes to windows views from my hotel room. That is certainly not to say that I have had the best views all of the time. I have seen my fair share of dumpsters, alleys etc. πŸ˜‚ but the best views have come from the absolute best locations.

The video above shows one of those best locations that I plan to visit again. The more views, the better – whether from your hotel balcony or while walking on the grounds of the hotel.

Hope that you enjoy the video and regularly check this blog for future updates

Havana Vibes

Nothing like experiencing the peace and calmness that the early morning brings. There is perhaps not a better time to hear the sounds of the rushing waters of the beach πŸ– or to hear the birds chirping at dawn. I captured one of these type of mornings here in this video: youtube.com/shorts/6o08AMJH0-o

Every morning should start like this πŸ˜‚. Maybe this will be the reality for me during retirement but in the meantime, I am glad to have captured this poolside moment. This moment was captured around 6:30am one beautiful morning during my vacation. As you can see, I was the only one there so it was a perfect time to capture the stillness of the day.

If you have followed this blog, you realize that I really, really love tropical destinations πŸ˜Žβ€οΈπŸ™Œ! This has been the best shot that I have ever taken in a tropical 🌴 location! I am definitely in awe from this video each time I watch it.

I hope that you enjoy this video and that you will check this blog for other travel adventures in the near future!
