Very beautiful hotel to spend well earned vacation time at π! Such a picturesque hotel with well manicured landscapes and unbelievable architecture. You will enjoy every minute of this beautiful stay.
It is conveniently located about 5 minutes from the Kona airport. It is also located close to the Four Seasons hotel where the rich and famous spend their time at in Hawaii.
If you are considering a vacation in Kona, Hawaii, I definitely recommend staying at this gorgeous placeπ
If you have never been on a cruise, please do yourself a favor, post pandemic, and go! πif you are possibly thinking that it might not be fun, take a look at this video for a sneak preview: youtube.com/shorts/dngCyxTylQM
I used to be a person that thought that cruises were not fun, until I finally made the leap of faith and tried it. It was so much fun that I could not wait to go back.
Now is certainly not the time to go, but cruises will be making a comeback to a port near you very soon π
Bad is one of my favorite songs from my Michael Jackson playlist. Here is the choreography from that song performed by a Michael Jackson impersonator and his band in Jamaica π―π² πyoutube.com/shorts/WG6ZQbV7p5M
Could not help but wax nostalgic listening to this music. Truly one of the greatest artists of our time. His music continues to live on and will do so for generations to come. I certainly hope that you enjoy the music above and check out this blog for other travel related content!
There are some weeks that you are particularly glad that you made it to the end of. This is one of those weeks for me. For me it started with a busy last weekend that spilled over to an even busier week. Well, we made it here and I am certainly looking forward to re-energizing over the weekend.
With that in mind, I can’t stop the feeling that the above video gives. I was aboard Carnival Cruise line en-route to the Western Caribbean when this dance party took place. I cannot remember if it was on a Friday or not but it is needed every day of the week and twice on Sunday π.
In the days in which we live in, it is hard to find a whole lot to celebrate π as every time on the news, there is depressing news after depressing news. I hope that this provides a glimpse of better times behind and better days ahead! Have a great day.π
Sometimes you just cannot stick to the rivers and lakes that you are used to, so you go chasing waterfalls π Here is my epic adventure of doing just that right here: πyoutube.com/shorts/spWNXckA7Jk
One of the best experiences of my life was here seeing Akaka Falls for the first time. It is definitely worth the hour and 30 minutes that I spent driving in the mountains of Hilo Hawaii to find the Akaka Falls State Park! π
It was a rainy day that day but I am forever grateful that I took the trek there to be able to capture this little piece of heaven on earth. I have wrote in this blog previously and I still maintain, if you have never had the experience of seeing a waterfall, do yourself a favor and find a place to see it. You will be so glad that you did.
If you have never been to Cabo San Lucas or even if you have, feel free to check out this video: youtube.com/shorts/DgcmgS7VI2s
This was quite an experience, taking a boat tour out to the beautiful waters of Cabo San Lucas. For me it was a dream come true. This trip was booked through Trip Advisor and what a magnificent trip it was.
The video shows a glimpse of Lovers Beach which is located right outside of the world famous Cabo San Lucas Arch! You will see more of the Arch in later posts. There is also a Divorce Beach nearby π, which I thought was very funny!
The tour includes views of not just Lovers Beach π and the Arch but also other views (i.e. Neptune’s Finger, Pathway to the Pacific etc). If you love sailing, you will love this glass bottom boat tour!
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!
Excellent beach views while driving along the streets of Kona Hawaii. This has been an absolute dose of paradise that has been greatly needed. Please check out the link here: πyoutube.com/shorts/H92Z13vAfKA
In addition to beautiful black sand beaches (which have been discussed and shown in previous posts), and green sand beaches, the link above shows a traditional white sand beach. La’ Aloa Bay Beach Park was definitely a sight for sore eyes π π. It is located in the heart of the downtown area, near where the IronMan competition is held.
On this day, it was so beautiful outside, and the water was nice and so very warm. That is why there were so many people there. Getting the daily dose of Vitamin Sea is so important and I am so glad that I got mine from visiting this great place! ππ
Since vaccines are being rolled out now to almost everyone, there is a renewed optimism about life getting back to normal very soon. I certainly experienced this optimism while traveling to Hawaii two weeks ago. Planes were packed, airports were packed and I saw a great number of people at the resorts that I visited.
What a true quote! Even during the difficult roads of 2020, we truly never know what destinations are around the corner.π Hawaii was my first trip of 2021 and it was such a dream destination. It had been the number one location on my list for many years, but, of course, it costs a small fortune to be able to go. Thankfully, I was able to book this trip at a serious discount on last year – prior to COVID vaccines being rolled out!
One of the resorts was the KingsLandβ – Waikoloa Village Resort in Hawaii. This resort was wonderful- it is now a timeshare community with spacious condominiums. This resort looked packed to capacity and it had some of the most amazing views.
One of these views that I would like to share is attached below. You can quickly get a great idea of the lush accommodations that are there onsite from the video. I was thoroughly impressed and it exceeded my expectations!
