Luau Vibes – Aloha Style🌺😎!

If you have never been to a luau, you have to go at least once😃. At least, that’s what I was told before going to one 😂! After going to one – I was instantly hooked! Here is just a glimpse of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/lKoJ-jAPkns

What tremendous coordination 😃. I could imagine that it must take so many hours to practice this choreography. They are so skilled and talented. Luaus are so common to Hawaii and are interwoven into the LiveAloha experience. In fact, when visiting Hawaii, you will have absolutely no problem trying to find one.

There are luaus and fire 🔥 shows galore in Hawaii 🌺. The link above is a video from Kauai Hawaii. You can see from the video, just how beautiful it really is. The video honestly does not accurately capture the beauty that is Kauai. If you visit Kauai, you will definitely not want to leave 😂.

Jamaica Me Crazy 😜❤️❤️!

Hope you are having a super day on today. I encourage you all to run 🏃🏾‍♂️ not walk, to an opportunity to visit Jamaica 🇯🇲. It is such a beautiful island 🏝 and the people are super friendly. I have now visited twice and I have thoroughly enjoyed both instances. Here is just a glimpse of what I saw, visiting Jamaica within the last week: youtube.com/shorts/ZNQ1qMJZliM

Out of the two times that I have visited Jamaica, I really enjoyed last week’s visit even more. It wasn’t the hotel for sure. I stayed in the same hotel twice and it is just superb – The Hilton Rose Hall. It was the beautiful views and vibes, like the ones above, that really made me enjoy this experience even better.

Thankfully 😅 this time, I had more time to work with. I utilized this time to tour Jamaica a lot more than I did the first time. I traveled through so many cities (Negril, St. Ann, Westmoreland, Nine Mile etc) and participated in more excursions this time around.

Montego Bay is where the Hilton Rose Hall is found but there is plenty to do as you ride going east or west. One of the cities that you have to visit is Negril – which is beautifully situated along the 7 mile Beach 🏖 area. This area has hotels and beaches galore – so if you decided to stay in one of these hotels 🏨, you won’t go wrong 😊.

Views for absolute days- Wow 🤩!

When you travel, it is opening up a door to new views and experiences😃. Full transparency here, if I could travel every day, I absolutely would 😂. I guess that I am just that addicted to it. When traveling, I usually go to very nice places, just to decompress from the stresses of life. I recently visited Jamaica and I was amazed to see views like these: youtube.com/shorts/mCfrtkNceDI

Isn’t it amazing 🤩?! I really enjoyed hanging out there. Rick’s Cafe, along with great food, provided great views from these cliffs😊. I would go back there in a heartbeat 💓! It was such a great experience that I would visit again to re-capture that amazing magic.

So this video was captured in Negril, Jamaica 🇯🇲. When traveling to Negril, you can see views like these and so many others. Right down the road is Margaritaville, another iconic place to visit. Both Rick’s Cafe and Margaritaville are conveniently located along the 7 mile stretch of white sand beaches. It is one of the best views ever 😊.

You have to experience this for yourself. The video gives you a great idea of what it could be like, but your experience will be so much more should you visit!

Eat at Rick’s😎🏖🏝!

Located in Negril Jamaica, is one of the best beach parks in the world 🌎. Matter of fact, it is now regarded as the #1 beach park in the world. This place is called Rick’s Cafe and it is one of the most iconic places to visit when visiting Negril. Here is a video taken from the upper level of the restaurant: youtube.com/shorts/ENdgbhAWGS0

The view is totally amazing 🤩. I was completely blown away by the wonderful views and vibes captured here. Before traveling here, I saw so many videos online of cliff divers – diving from areas right outside of Rick’s Cafe😃. I was determined to experience these dives first hand!

Although I did not dive, I was so thoroughly impressed that so many others did. There are truly a lot of adventurers and daredevils out there and even more onlookers, which I totally am 😂.

This video was pretty much the calm before the storm ⛈. Within less than an hour of this video, Rick’s Cafe and surrounding areas were packed with people. Matter of fact as I was leaving hours later, people continued to pour in 😂. I was told by my driver that partying at Rick’s could go on for hour and hours in the night.

Will definitely be back for more fun and adventure at Rick’s in the near future 😃!

Fun in Negril😍🎊🎉!

Negril has been an absolute dream 🛌! There is nothing else like this place in the world. Hanging out at Rick’s Cafe was so cool. It is world famous in the travel community. From this video, you can see why: youtube.com/shorts/mWBMpRVV7vI

This is a great place to dive into the water and have some fun 🤩! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to coming back again. It was recently voted the #1 place to visit in Jamaica by the the Travel Channel 😃. Make sure to add this gorgeous location to your bucket list!

As I have been on social media for many years, I have seen many pictures and videos taken from Rick’s Cafe🙌! As the name suggests, it is a restaurant but so much more also. Did you know that they also have cliff diving? I actually got a chance to witness this first hand and I have videos to share with you all also.

Feel free to check my blog in the near future for other posts from Negril and other travel destinations. You will be so glad that you did 😃🙌!

Beautiful View from Here😍❤️❤️!

Waimea Canyon is such a beautiful place😀. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and go 😂! Trust me, you will definitely enjoy it. Here is a beautiful view that I captured: youtube.com/shorts/-27rs8g_P44

Isn’t it just lovely 😊? It was such a magnificent experience. On that particular day, thankfully, the park was not packed. Matter of fact, the only people in the park, are the people in the video 😂. What you are seeing in the video is the lookout deck for Waimea Canyon. As you might guess, this is an excellent place to not only see the canyon but also to take lots of pictures and videos!

I was just impressed with how massive the canyon is. It is an absolute beauty with all of the colors that you see. For the truly adventurous, there are hiking trails that you can hike on. I did try to hike for a mile or so, downhill. That wasn’t too bad until I had to hike back uphill to get back to my car 🚗 😂!

Hope you will consider a visit to Waimea Canyon in the near future. It is a fun place to take the family or to venture by yourself 😊.

Cake by the Ocean Vibes😻❤️🔥🔥!

Visiting Cozumel Mexico was a dream come true. I have always heard great things about Cozumel and Mexico in general. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The beach views were absolutely beautiful. Here is a clip from that wonderful experience: youtube.com/shorts/V9niQP1iRwc

Hope that you enjoyed the clip. The Beach views were just spectacular😃. Hanging out there, just have me the best sense of peace. When you give everything that you got – working a job from week to week, you look forward to time away. Out of all of my travel experiences, I have never gone on a vacation and regretted it. I have come back better and more refreshed, every single time.😃

Cozumel is by far, one of the most popular vacation spots in Mexico. It is easily in the top 5 locations to visit. In the clip that I shared, this beach 🏖 is located in a place called Chankanaab. If you have followed this blog for some time, you have certainly heard of it and have seen videos from it. If you haven’t seen the videos, I certainly encourage you to take a look the previous videos.

In fact, if you are looking for a great place to visit this summer, consider Cozumel as a possible destination.😃 It is a gorgeous city and the views are to die for!😻❤️🔥🔥

Spectacular Luau Views😍😍😍❤️❤️!

Luau vibes are excellent😃! I made up in my mind that if given the opportunity to go back to Hawaii, that I would visit a luau. Ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what I did. Here is just a glimpse of what was in store during this visit: youtube.com/shorts/rv6cMP7xIpU

Pretty cool video, huh 🤔? I loved everything about these amazing vibes. I remember thoroughly enjoying the wonderful show. It greatly exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I definitely encourage others to share in this experience at least one time. You will enjoy every minute of it for sure.

This video shows the beauty of the experience! Well choreographed and so very entertaining. The video was taken at the Smith Family Luau in Kauai, Hawaii. This experience can be booked directly from Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor is definitely one of my favorite websites to visit as I prepare for upcoming trips. You can find out all the popular activities to partake in as you travel to various destinations.

Hope you enjoy the video and that you plan to visit Hawaii some time on the near future. 😃

Waterfall Vibes 🌊💦😎!

I am a waterfall chaser!😊 Love to capture them wherever I go. I have been blessed to travel to a number of places that have waterfalls and I have not been disappointed ☹️. Here is Wailua Falls – which is located in Kauai, Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/33WAcdYzaF4

Hope that you enjoyed the beautiful video😊! Waterfalls are amazing wonders of nature. You stand awestruck when you see them and want to take as many pictures as possible 😂. Thankfully on this recent trip, I was able to capture this one in addition to Opaeka Falls which you will see on a future post.

On this particular day, it was almost as if everybody from Kauai converged on this area at the same time. The small road to see this wonder was completely packed with tourists. I was aboard a tour bus so we thankfully were able to park in one of the few parking spots reserved for tour buses.

As the video pans out from the waterfall to the water below, you will see a small beach 🏖 area where a few people were hanging out. Turns out that these folks found a trail to hike down in order to get to that area. Since that activity was not a part of the tour experience, I stayed on the lookout road.

Hope that you enjoy the video and that you will check back for other travel blog experiences, as I continue to cover the earth 🌍 before it covers me 😂.

Carnival Cruise Vibes🚢- Happy Friday😃🙌💯!

Carnival Cruise Line just has a way of making dreams come true. I have sailed them in the past and I always have been impressed with their commitment to customer service. I have always felt as if I was getting the best experience offered and consequently, I have enjoyed my experience cruising. Here is only a sample of what you can expect, when you choose fun 🤩: youtube.com/shorts/SfvmvgTTTnY

When all is said and done, I would like to have cruised on not only Carnival, but also Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess etc. I guess you can say that I am a cruise addict. I must admit that I totally am 😂. Admitting it is definitely a great first step 😃.

Sure, taking an airplane to various destinations would get you there quicker but for so many times in life, it is more about the journey than the destination. The journey provides so many memories that will stay etched in your mind for years to come.

This particular video was taken while I was standing out on the Lido Deck, looking at the beautiful water 💦. I could remember this moment now as if it was yesterday. I did not have any idea at that time, of the many adventures that would take place in the upcoming days of my journey to the Western Caribbean. Feel free to check out this blog for adventures in Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel😃❤️!
