Family Vacation Planning

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁😃!

Christmas is finally here! 😃 Hope that you have enjoyed Christmas 2021. I have enjoyed spending quality time with my family and eating some great food 😋 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.😃 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 🏖. Never have found a beach that I did not like 👍. This is one of the best that I have seen.

Enjoy the video and enjoy the rest of Christmas 🎅!

View of the Day😎🏖🌴

If you need a pick me up for the day, then look no further than this video: youtube.com/shorts/M-yCNDwS7aY

It is sure to bring a smile to your face especially if you enjoy wonderful views. This is an absolute beauty! I could not believe the views that I was seeing. What made it especially great was the lookout point where I was standing. It provided an excellent bird’s eye view of the shore.

This view was captured in the wonderful city of San Jose del Cabo. If you have never visited, do yourself a favor and go. It is literally located about 15 minutes from the well known city of Cabo San Lucas. Cabo is a beautiful city to see, as you can tell from my earlier posts on this blog.

Certainly appreciative of this view during the fall and winter months. I am definitely not a lover of cold weather but the snow views that I have seen on social media and other places are just magnificent🙌😀!

Happy travels to you all and I hope that you enjoyed the wonderful video above. Have a great day!

TGIF Vibes – Enjoy 😊!

TGIF- so very glad that the end of the week has come 😃! This week has been particularly busy, so it will be great to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Usually my idea of rest and relaxation is going on a trip somewhere but it is also particularly gratifying to take some time off at home. Here is a great video especially for a Friday: youtube.com/shorts/W54IrxXwpc0

Sort of gets you in a Friday type of mood, huh. I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson’s music and this is one of my favorite songs of his. Hope that you enjoyed the short video. Got a chance to see this performance in Punta Cana at the Coco Bongo Club there. As you can see, the performance was totally epic!

It is so amazing that he is one of the all-time favorites to impersonate. I have gone many places and I almost have a Michael Jackson impersonation for every location 😂! The King of Pop continues to live on from his music as well as from countless impersonations. Sort of like the King of Rock and Roll 🎸, Elvis Presley.

I hope that this Friday finds you safe, healthy and happy wherever you are. Check back early and often for more travel adventures from around the world 🌎!

Sailing the Cabo Sea 🚤 🌊

If you have never gone sailing before, it is such a wonderful experience. Before sailing ⛵️, I would avoid it because I figured that I would get sea sick 🤒. Here is a voyage that I took along the Sea of Cortez in Cabo San Lucas: youtube.com/shorts/JgOcPplWsH4

Prior to this voyage, I took my first cruise with Carnival. I packed Dramamine, a wristband (that helps avoid seasickness) and I packed the little circle bandaid type strips that are designed to go behind your ear. To my surprise, I did not get seasick but felt pretty sick because I spent money on all of these products that are designed to help prevent seasickness 😂.

Still, it is always better to be safe rather than sorry. I had a wonderful time on both the Carnival and Cabo voyage. As you can tell from the video, the weather was very beautiful and the waves were not as choppy. Truly one of the best voyages that I have been on because of the weather and the wonderful tour guide that we had on that day.

In case you are interested in booking this same tour, it can be found on the Trip Advisor site or app. It is the Cabo San Lucas Glass Bottom Boat tour and it contains a couple of hours on the sea, tour of a glass blowing factory, lunch, tequila tasting and a tour around the city of San Jose del Cabo. You will be so glad that you booked this tour – prepare to have loads of fun 🤩!

Cruise Cabin Ocean Views 😆!

If you have never seen the view of the ocean from inside a cabin room, prepare to be amazed: youtube.com/shorts/8dS_vY4-nCQ

Isn’t it just spectacular 🤩? When I saw this when I took my first cruise, I was truly amazed. Seeing the waves in the vast ocean, just blew my mind. Almost could not sleep seeing this amazing sight.

Most times when I have seen video from a cruise 🚢, I have rarely seen what the cabin rooms look like or the ocean view from within the cabin. I am glad to at least check one of these items off of the list for all of you that will view the video. I will have to look through my video archive to see if I have room pictures 😂.

The views that we see on vacation, oftentimes gets burned into our mind and this particular trip provided no exception. I hope that you enjoy the video and that you have a great week ahead!

Driving views from Paradise😃🚗🌴!

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 😂. 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 😂.

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 🌋. 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.

Views and Vibes 😎🎶🎶

Nothing like great views and vibes to get the juices flowing on a wonderful new day!😊 Here is a great combination of both that I just shared: youtube.com/shorts/AY34bw2yJ6Q

The view of Kailua Bay in Downtown Kona, Hawaii is just so heavenly 😇. I firmly believe that there are pieces of paradise sprinkled around this beautiful world that we live in. If you have traveled around this world 🌎, you have undoubtedly seen proof of beauty that leaves you speechless and instantly makes you a storyteller.

Included down by the bay is a small beach that I got a chance to swim at. This beach is called Niumalu Beach 🏖. Nice beach especially for kids since the water is fairly shallow, at least closer to the shore but as you get out further in the bay, the water gets deeper.

I will share more from Niumalu Beach in future posts. I hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will check this blog regularly for future updates. Have a great day 😎!

Fans Only: Smooth Criminal Vibes😎!

Few trips that I have taken have had epic performances. This is one of the best that I have come across: youtube.com/shorts/VRywZ9G-J_A

I hope that you enjoyed this epic performance. It was so nicely done. If you have followed this blog, you already know, I am a big fan of Michael Jackson’s music.😃In particular, Smooth Criminal is one one of my personal favorites.

This performance was captured at the Coco Bongo Club in Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. One of the most beautiful places that you can travel to, highly recommend visiting. It is totally paradise on earth 🌍.

The impersonator did a fantastic job channeling the King of Pop. His music continues to live on throughout the world. Check back for more travel adventures 😎😃!

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope that you enjoy your day. I look forward to this time of the year. Absolutely the most perfect time of the year especially after a very eventful year. Got an opportunity to check a major destination off of my bucket list, Hawaii. Here is one of the best videos from that trip: youtube.com/shorts/3s1jIVh5VdI

I love the beautiful contrast between the blue water and the black sand. It is just magnificent!😄 What an excellent location to spend your time. I highly recommend visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. You will not only see beautiful beaches like the one of the video, but also waterfalls and mountains 🏔.

Hawaii is a must see for anyone that needs a vacation from the ordinary. Out of all the destinations that I have visited, Hawaii is the very best!😄 I look back at these pictures and I am amazed still. I know that you will be amazed! 😃

Waterfall Chaser😎!

How I love chasing waterfalls! I am on a personal mission to see as many as I possibly can. Here is one that I saw recently that I wanted to share with you: youtube.com/shorts/OQCe3I9QvOk

Such a beautiful scene😻. Hard to believe that I got this close to one. In Akaka State Park in Hawaii, there are two: Akaka Falls (this one) and Kalua Falls. They are so incredible to see in person. You will be completely blown away by the beauty!

Before going to this park, I had never seen a waterfall before other than in videos posted online. I was determined that this would be the trip that I would have this experience. I looked up the directions from my hotel room and made the trek to boldly go where I had never gone before 😂.

What I did not realize at the time is how mountainous the Big Island of Hawaii is. As I got to higher elevations, my ears were popping and the road seemed more and more winding. When I saw the “Watch out for falling rocks” signs, uh 🙄 I got a little nervous 😬.

Thankfully 😅, I did not encounter any falling rocks 🪨 along the way but I captured some unbelievable views from within the park. It was a dream come true! 😃
