Kalahari Summer Adventure 😍❤️🔥🔥!

Hello September 😍! August went by so incredibly fast, I feel as though my head is spinning 😵‍💫. I feel optimistic about every new month and look forward to more and more adventures that the month is sure to bring. Kalahari Resorts is a favorite of mine, any month and any season. The resort itself is spectacular but Kalahari itself is known for its magnificent indoor water park which you can check out here: youtube.com/shorts/3wprjIW36eA

With the water park being indoors, you can have this great experience, year round😃! Trust me, there is something for everyone at this phenomenal place. Both for the kids and the kids at heart ❤️! In addition to the water park, there is an enormous arcade called TomFoolery, that is second to none. You will spend countless of hours in the arcade and the water park. When you are done, you can then experience the beautiful, lush accommodations of the resort itself.

Hope that you will make your plans to experience Kalahari for yourself 😃! With the official end of summer coming closer and closer, outdoor water parks will be closing. Thankfully you can still feel the beautiful summer vibes, all year round!😃

Whale Watching on the Na Pali Coast😃😎❤️🙌!

If you have never gone whale watching before, I encourage you to take a fantastic voyage to do so. 😎 My first whale watching trip was to the Na Pali Coat in Kauai Hawaii. Here is a clip from that experience: youtube.com/shorts/ty5SqH96cCA

Doesn’t the view look incredible? I had so much fun during this entire trip. It was such a wonderful time. As you can see in the video, the kids were having fun and so were the parents. The water was such a magnificent blue. There was nothing quite like being out on the water and feeling the nice breeze.

During this trip, we saw our share of whales and dolphins. Both are such magnificent creatures. Before the trip, I had never experienced this type of excursion. I had been on my share of cruises 🚢, but whale watching is totally next level. Actually look forward to my next whale watching trip! 😎

Jamaica Pool Views – Wow 🤩!

With August coming to an end and the majority of kids going back to school, the official end of Summer (Labor Day) is coming fast. For only the 2nd time in my life, I visited, by far one of my best islands ever, Jamaica 🇯🇲! If you have not visited this beautiful island 🏝, it is a must see for the bucket 🪣 list😊! Here is just a glimpse of the views that you can expect from this magnificent place: youtube.com/shorts/1BlUEEiyNds

The hotel that I stayed in is called the Hilton Rose Hall😎! If you are a long time follower of this blog, you are so very familiar with the beauty of this hotel 🏨. It is easily one of the best that Montego Bay has to offer. I was impressed when I initially visited this hotel back in 1999 and was even more impressed visiting this hotel this year.

Unlike the first time visiting this hotel, I was not given an ocean front room. They are booked very quickly – so they went fast! So I did not know what to expect when I got a non ocean front view. Needless to say, I was so pleasantly surprised😎🙌! I had a view of this beautiful pool (in the video) and a view of the outside entertainment each night. I could not have asked for a better room to stay❤️‍🩹!

Whether you squeeze in that last trip this summer or if you are planning a vacation for next year, I definitely recommend visiting the phenomenal island of Jamaica 🇯🇲. The views are incredibly gorgeous and the excursions will take your breath away😊!

Na Pali Coast Tour😎❤️😍!

All aboard the Na Pali Coast Tour😎! Thankfully, no money 💰 is required 😂. These are the absolute best epic views that I have ever seen in all of my travels. It is an amazing place to spend a vacation by far. Here is just a snippet of what you can expect on this tour: youtube.com/shorts/P2Q52enX4bc

The cinematic view on my iPhone makes this video look even better😊! Pretty much like you are watching a movie 🎥. If you have visited this blog previously, you already know how I feel about visiting this beautiful part of Kauai. In fact, Kauai itself, has so many beautiful places to visit other than the Na Pali Coast.

Looking at previous posts on this blog, will give you a deeper understanding of the places that you need to visit, in order to get the most out of your experience. I believe in squeezing as much out of a trip that I take as I possibly can. The reason for this is that, I never want to assume that I will be back to that same place again. This helps me to live in the moment more when I am there😊!

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will visit this blog early and often. Have a great day! 😃

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🤩!

Cruising into the Weekend😍❤️🛥!

Cruising on the weekend is a great past time😊! Actually, cruising anytime, any day is a great day out. Here is an excellent video of a recent cruise that was simply magnificent 😍: youtube.com/shorts/_SGzDq-ofLM

Hope that you enjoyed the the beautiful video! Picture perfect view of the wonderful Kauai coastline😊! If heaven were a place on earth 🌍, it would absolutely be this place. The views were incredibly jaw dropping and it greatly exceeded my personal expectations!

Kauai is no doubt one of the best kept secrets of the Hawaiian 🌺 Islands. Actually had I known how beautiful it is, I would have taken this trip a heckuva lot sooner. The best thing about this wonderful world of ours, is that there are so many other beautiful parts of the world 🌎.

I plan to visit as many of these locations as possible😊. The possibilities are endless and from following so many of other travelers on social media, I have an exhaustive bucket list of travel locations that I plan to visit. I invite you all to develop a bucket list of travel locations, and start visiting as soon as possible- provided that these locations are safe to travel to.

Jamaica Me Crazy 😜 🏖🇯🇲!

There is absolutely no place on earth 🌍 quite like Jamaica 🇯🇲😃! The views are outstanding and no matter how many times you visit, you always want to go back😀. Here is just a glimpse of why that is the case: youtube.com/shorts/aph-bzwsIwU

Negril Jamaica 🇯🇲 is where this video was taken, specifically, Rick’s Cafe, which was rated the #1 Beach Park in the world by the Travel Channel. After watching this video, it is definitely not hard to see why this is the case. You could spend hours upon hours of time at Rick’s – site seeing, people watching, cliff diving and of course, eating.

If you are wondering whether this place is kid friendly, wonder no more, it totally is😊. I saw a number of families there and they were enjoying all of the views. In fact, it is rated one of the top places to visit when you are visiting Negril. You really cannot go wrong visiting any place along the 7 mile stretch of beach front properties.

I know that summer is quickly winding down but if ever there was a time to see Jamaica for the first time or to revisit, the time is now. Airline fares are likely to dip the closer and closer we get to back to school. You will enjoy the wonderful experience that visiting Jamaica will bring.

New Week Vibes 😍🙌🔥!

It is the start of another great week! Hope that you are having a great day so far. My latest blog posts have been about Jamaica which is one of my favorite islands to visit. Here is another reason why 😄:youtube.com/shorts/vMvaOsProb4

This view is exceptional 😄! That water is just the perfect shade of blue. Summer vacation is just better when you get a little Vitamin Sea 😂. Nothing else like the sights and sounds of vacationing on a beautiful island 🏝. It just never gets old!

The location that I captured in the video above is Negril, Jamaica 🇯🇲. It is a must see and a must visit. If you happen to go to Negril in the future, I would love to highly recommend Rick’s Cafe😎. The slogan “Eat at Joe’s” should have been “Eat at Rick’s”. Rated the #1 Travel Bar in the World 🌎, Rick’s offers not only great cuisine and awesome drinks 🍹 but the best views of the Caribbean Sea that you can find.

Trust me, the video and the pictures do not give it justice. There is no place like this place in the world. Make your plans to see why the Travel Channel rated Rick’s #1 in the World 🌎!

Life is a Beach – Enjoy😎🏖🏝!

Life is always better when you are at the beach 😂! It is amazing how everything that you might have thought was important before you got to the beach, suddenly is not so important anymore. The beach 🏖 has that calming, peaceful vibe that no other place on the earth 🌍 has. Maybe it is the sound of the water 💦 splashing on the shore or it could be the vastness of the water 💦 that seems to go on as far as the eye can see. Here is a beautiful beach 🏖 that I recently visited in Jamaica 🇯🇲, that has everything that I described above: youtube.com/shorts/G5jXA6NSIXc

It is a wonderful feeling visiting the beach. Even though I visited this beach, I cannot wait to visit another one before the summer ends. In recent years, as I am planning vacations, I have only one requirement, a beach nearby. Even if I am not staying at a resort with a beach (which is my preference 😀), I will calculate how close I am to the nearest beach 🏖 😂. I am addicted, and I cannot get enough of it.

Admitting it is definitely the first step to recovery 😂, but thankfully 😅 I am not looking to change my ways. This particular beach is located at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica. If you have followed this blog for some time, you know that this hotel is one of my favorites! I have been there twice now and cannot wait the go back a 3rd 🥉 time.

It is totally incredible and you will enjoy the beauty of the resort, the pools, accommodations and of course the beach 🏖 which is located onsite. As summer is quickly drawing to an end, I encourage you to experience all that this gorgeous hotel has to offer!

Waterfall Wednesday😎🌺❤️❤️!

Chasing waterfalls is a passion of mine 😂! I saw my first waterfall and I have been hooked on waterfalls ever since. In fact, this video shows the first waterfall (Kahuna Falls) that I have ever hiked to and it is a beauty: youtube.com/shorts/Osa-p5p4fA0

Hope that you enjoyed the video😃! As you can tell from the video, it was not a very sunny day 😂. Actually it was raining 🌧 a lot on that day, so it was a wet hike to Kahuna Falls. Thankfully the hike wasn’t very far. I parked on the outside of the park, paid the fee and entered the park. The place where this waterfall is located is called the Akaka State Park located in Hilo, Hawaii.

Hilo is located on the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii. From my hotel 🏨, it took about an hour and 30 minutes 😀to get to Akaka Falls State Park. It was so well worth the drive😃! It was such an incredible experience and certainly one that I definitely recommend to any tourist visiting the island.

If you love waterfalls and would love to see one on an excursion, I suggest seeking out waterfalls that may be close to where you live, or take a trip, like I did, to see one for yourself 😎. I am a believer of exploring the world 🌎 and all of its beauty. Waterfalls are certainly unlike anything else on earth 🌍!
