Summer Cool At Kalahari🤩🙌❤️!

If you have never visited a Kalahari Resorts Hotel and Waterpark, there is still time to do so. The great thing about this water park is that it is indoors😃🙌! Yes, you read it right, indoor water park- totally climate controlled. At Kalahari, there is a ride called the FlowRider. Here is a clip of the fun that you will have when riding this ride: youtube.com/shorts/XR-TFp1ZG1M

He is absolutely having fun 🤩 in this video! This is one of the best rides in the water park. It was absolute fun the entire time that I was there. Kalahari is absolutely one of the best kept secrets. If you happen to be near one, I encourage you to visit and stay a few days. The water park is amazing and so are the hotel accommodations.

Kalahari is an amazing place to vacation especially if you happen to have kids! When I visited, there were kids galore everywhere you looked. 😃The resort located in Round Rock is just phenomenal. It actually opened in November 2020, during the pandemic, so it is relatively new and perfect for spending an adventure filled weekend🤩!

Atlantis on my mind 😎!

I remember when I visited Disney World as an adult, a number of years ago. I remember waiting for the bus to take me from my on-site hotel to Epcot Center. I was staying at the French Quarter Resort (excellent beignets BTW). While I was outside waiting on the shuttle bus, I saw that one of the folks waiting with me had on an Atlantis Water Adventure shirt. At the time, I had never heard of Atlantis but I was very intrigued that it was in The Bahamas, which is where I always wanted to visit. If you have never heard of this magnificent place, here is an introductory video of it: youtube.com/shorts/CnBBiTmtYMk

To my surprise, not only was it a water park but it had on-site hotels just like Disney. Five years after seeing that Atlantis shirt, I booked a trip to see the lost city of Atlantis 😂. My oh my, was I blown away. Atlantis is a world of fun, contained on the beautiful island of Nassau. First tropical island that I had ever visited and since that time, it has held a special place in my heart.

Not sure if you have heard the tag line or the seen the hashtag #itsbetterinthebahamas, but I can confirm that whatever “it” is, it is truly better there. I had so much fun on the water rides and the hotels were the epitome of luxury. I stayed at the Beach Tower Hotel and it was wonderfully superb.

See why #itisbetterinthebahamas for yourself by booking a wonderful trip to Nassau. When I went, there was no such thing as Covid-19, so if you travel there now, follow all safety precautions in order to get the most out of your stay. I will share video of a humongous water slide (Leap of Faith) that I still can’t believe that I got on 😂 in a later post😀.

Aloha Beach Vibes from the Fairmont Orchid 😎🌴🏖🙌

Check out the new video posted on my channel here 👉youtube.com/shorts/GM5QNLhDkMQ

I had an awesome time visiting Kona Hawaii and having the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous resort😃! This hotel is top notch and it will exceed any expectations that you might have.

In the video, you will get a glimpse of the exceptionally manicured landscape and the beautiful beach vibes. I wish I could have stayed longer there, it was an absolute joy. Truly one of the best part of waking up is enjoying all that the Fairmont has to offer.

As you can see from the video, I was there oa a very windy day. This trip provided a welcomed escape from a year worth of cancelled trips and despair. If you have an opportunity, check out this magnificent destination. You will definitely not regret it 😄

Ocean Eyes from from Naalehu 😎🏖🌴🌴 💦 💦

Ocean Eyes 👀 from the scenic city of Naalehu Hawaii can be found here: 👉youtube.com/shorts/GxJpaPJvs20

Touring this gorgeous city was a dream come true, as you can tell from the video. What a magnificent place to see. Felt just like paradise on earth. As often is the case, it never seems long enough – no matter how much time you spend vacationing.

This slice of heaven was seen during my drive to the black sand beach (Punalu’u) which I have discussed on previous posts in this blog. Seeing views like these, in addition to experiencing the awesome nature of Hawaii, is well worth the time and money that it takes to visit,

Looking forward to more adventures in the foreseeable future!

Akaka Falls State Park Vibes – Hawaii🤩 💦 💦

Cool views and picturesque trails await you in Hilo, Hawaii at the Akaka Falls State Park. 😎 I assure you, that you have never seen cool views like the ones that are shown here in this video: youtube.com/shorts/uXKi0m2iobU

At this particular park, there are two waterfalls: Akaka Falls and Kahuna Falls. In my previous posts you will see videos of both of them. The video above, is an example of the beauty that you behold as you hike to the waterfalls. The beautiful rivers and streams are so magnificent.

On this particular day, it was raining 🌧 but the view was not distorted at all. Unfortunately, visitors were not allowed to get close to the waterfalls but the views were still very scenic, nonetheless.

Feel free to follow this blog for more travel pictures and videos. Have a great day and stay safe! 😀

Volcanoes🌋 in Hawaii (so amazing 🤩)!

One of the most interesting places that I visited during my time on the Big Island in Hawaii was the Volcano National Park. What a great place to visit while you are in Hawaii! 😊 This was one of the sights that was included in the Deluxe Volcano Experience that Kailani Tours offers in their tour package.

The Volcano Experience offers a comprehensive tour of the island (coffee tour in Kona, Punalu’u Beach Park, etc.) The richness of the experience is seeing a live, active volcano 🌋 before your very eyes – which is a phenomenal experience. The tour takes you to Mount Kilauea where you can take pictures of the volcano both in the day and at night after you have finished the tour provided dinner.

Here is a quick video of Mount Kilauea in the day. It was wonderful to behold. My night pictures were too dark to share here but you will get the idea. To see more sights and sounds of Hawaii and other epic locations, feel free to follow me at travelfitguru on every social media platform. Enjoy 😊!

Dinner Cruise 🚢 Vibes

Reminiscing on very good times earlier this year onboard a Carnival Cruise to the Western Caribbean😃🙌. The ship was at reduced capacity but everyone on board enjoyed the wonderful vibes.

It seems by looking at the video attached below that this is not an event that happened in 2020 but really of a long, forgotten time that was mask 😷 free. This was in fact, back in March 2020. That time was the calm before the proverbial storm!

I hope that you enjoy this video and I definitely hope to return to these times again. Until that time, stay safe and healthy😃!
