Hawaii Kind of Feeling😎 ☀️ 🏝

Number 1 destination on my bucket list since I was a kid was Hawaii. It did not matter which island it was, although I had heard so much about Maui, I just wanted to go. I was hopeful to someday have the opportunity to finally get there. Here is a short video of a few of the experiences that I had: youtube.com/shorts/eudThW6iJqY

This particular island is Kona aka “The Big Island”. I am hear to tell you, it is aptly named 😂. It is totally ginormous with everything that you wanted to see and more. This island, has the only active volcano 🌋 (Kilauea), in addition to beaches, mountains and waterfalls (oh my).

I know what you are thinking 🤔, all in one place? Yes indeed – and if I had not visited there for myself and saw all of these absolute wonders, I would not have believed it either. It is a place that would be in a dream, but in fact, it is very real and available to visit in reality for vacation.

Prior to vacationing in Hawaii, I was told by another traveler that there was no place quite like Hawaii, in the USA and perhaps, the world 🌎. I was so skeptical 🤨 and figured that I would reserve judgment until I visited. The Big Island 🏝 took my breath away, and you will enjoy all of the beauty and experiences also!

Waterfall Magic from Hawaii 💦 😎

Akaka Falls State Park is as an absolute dream 😴. After seeing so many posts down through the years about waterfalls, this park provided me the perfect opportunity to see waterfalls up close and personal. Here is the link to one of the best that Akaka Falls had to offer: youtube.com/shorts/kxw2xMDRT7k

It is just a magnificent waterfall for sure. The name of this one is Kahuna Falls, and it is a big kahuna 😂! This particular day, I braved the very heavy rain 🌧 in order to see this beautiful sight. Once you park on-site, you have to hike the rest of the way to see the waterfalls.

As I have mentioned before in a previous post, the waterfalls are at higher elevations so it will certainly test your conditioning. I remember huffing and puffing 😮‍💨 as I went from one waterfall to the other. I made it safely to both and was able to capture beautiful videos as a result.

The “Big Kahuna” was so beautiful and it is the smaller of the waterfalls that are located there. Feel free to check my previous posts for a look at the even bigger Kahuna – Akaka Falls. It is truly ginormous! 😃🙌

Sailing ⛵️ the Cabo Seas!🤩

Sailing is such a wonderful experience! 😃Absolutely one of my favorite forms of transportation. You probably could have guessed that from all of the cruise videos that I have posted out on this blog. It is not just the art of sailing that fascinates, but when you couple that with a beautiful location, you get one of my best sails, which is captured here: youtube.com/shorts/CPeOQqsvyqM

Seeing this video instantly takes me back to the roller coaster of emotions that I was experiencing at the time. It was joy, excitement and fear. Enough to make your heart ❤️ skip a beat 😂. I had never been on a glass bottom boat tour before but I will absolutely do it again in the future!

Cabo San Lucas is such a beautiful location to go on a boat tour. It has so many different places to visit: The Arch, Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach etc. If you take a look at previous posts in my blog, you will see all of the sights that I captured on this very epic tour!

Hope that you have a great day and an amazing week😃!

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😃🙌.

Michael Jackson Vibes😎🎵🎵

One of my favorite artists of all time is the King of Pop😀! His music still lives on, even though he is no longer with us. To my surprise, when I was visiting Jamaica, I was able to attend a concert at my hotel: Hilton Rose Hall. Here is a snippet of the performance: youtube.com/shorts/I_lqCaIU7rY

It was a great impersonation of Michael Jackson, down to the make up and dance 💃 🕺🏾moves. He was truly one of a kind but so was this hotel 🏨! If you ever venture to Montego Bay, Jamaica, I highly recommend staying at this hotel. It has wonderful performances, like the one above, and it is luxury personified. It has all of the amenities that you would want and the best part, it is all inclusive.

This has been my only all inclusive experience throughout my travels. It is totally the way to go for sure. All of the food and drinks are included in the price of the hotel. Cannot get any better than that.😀😀

If you would like to see the other Smooth Criminal performance that I captured from this concert, feel free to look at the previous posts in my blog. Have a great day!

Left my ❤️ in San Francisco 😃!

The City by the Bay is one of the best cities that I have ever visited. I fell in love with this beautiful city when I first visited back in 2004. Since then, I have visited multiple times and even captured my last trip to this gorgeous city (albeit a short video) which gives you a taste of the fun that I have experienced: youtube.com/shorts/ViyVfkQX4TU

Most of these shots were captured on a cruise tour of the Golden Gate Bridge. The scenery was spectacular but the weather was very cold 🥶. Especially out on the water 💦. As it was famously said, “The coldest winter ever, was a summer in San Francisco” 😂.

This is so very true. If you have ever visited San Francisco, you know what I am talking about. I always bring a jacket with me because I know how the weather is in downtown San Francisco. Bundle up, you will thank me later.😃 It is very cold 🥶 near the water.

San Francisco has some of the best seafood I have ever tasted. So many great restaurants all in one place. Pier 31 is always a favorite stop of mine. I have eaten at plenty of restaurants there and they are all very good.

When you are there, you can view Alcatraz across the Bay. If you are so inclined, you can take a tour of the famous prison. I still have this on my to do list. I have heard that it is one of the best things to do in San Francisco.

Hope that you enjoy the video and will make your plans to visit San Francisco.

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 Vibes: Best Wishes😃😎!

Happy 2022 to all of you😀! Wishing you all a safe and prosperous New Year. Thanks for following my blog and for the comments that I have received in 2021. I am certainly ready for more and more travel adventures in 2022 and I hope that you are as well. I have composed a recap of my Kalahari Resorts visit and I would like to share it with you: youtube.com/shorts/0bXFikwSCkI

Hope that you enjoyed the video. Kalahari, both the beautiful resort and the indoor water park, greatly exceeded my expectations!😃 If you have never been, hopefully you will take a trip in this new year. The one that I visited, opened up in November 2020 and it is located in Round Rock, Texas. There are other locations here in the USA so there should be one near where you live.

Did I mentioned that it is indoors 😂? Which means that you can experience the whole water park experience in the climate control confines of the indoors, no matter what the weather may be outdoors. Perfect escape from the frigid cold weather that you may be experiencing in other parts of the USA or otherwise.

Wishing you and your families all the best that this New Year has to offer and I encourage each of you to work, vacation and repeat as often as you can this year!😀🙌

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! 😆

Unstoppable Holiday Views😎🙌

I hope that you are taking some quality time off this time of the year to unwind, relax and rejuvenate for the year ahead.😃This 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 🥶 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 😃! 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 🦅, 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! 😃🙌☝️
