Slow Ride – Aloha Style😍❤️❤️!

Nothing like a great scenic views😍! My preferred mode of travel is an airplane but nothing quite beats a scenic drive. It has often been said that half the fun of travel is the journey to get there. That wholeheartedly applies to this great drive that I was able to capture: youtube.com/shorts/UWLOKj77HKU

This video was taken on the way down from Waimea Canyon in Hawaii. As you can tell from the video – the views are just incredible😊! I don’t think that I have seen such scenic views before traveling here. I have previously shared, on earlier blog posts, the wonderful sights from Waimea Canyon. Never before have I shared such picturesque sky views from the journey.

Travel certainly opens your heart and broadens your mind. At the time that this video was captured, this was the final day of the vacation, so my trip to Kauai was winding down. The sky provided one last beautiful moment to add to the other beautiful moments that were captured during my stay.

Hope that this video will provide an uplift to you on today😀! Feel free to check back early and often for other blog posts, as I continue to travel the world 🌎.

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 😊.

Paradise Found – Amazing 😻 ❤️🔥!

Beaches are perhaps the best way to relax there is😎! Hearing the sound of the ocean 🌊 sets you instantly at peace. Something about that sky above and sand beneath that gives you wonderful peace within. Here is a short clip from my experience: youtube.com/shorts/GSIudrglmPg

The sea was a beautiful shade of blue on that day and I was so blessed to be there😄! After weeks of working, it was just what the doctor ordered. Heaven is not found on earth 🌍, but I believe that there are pieces of heaven here on earth 😂.

The place captured in the video is called Spouting Horn Park. You may wonder,why is it called Spouting Horn? Well, I will share a future video that shows why. Essentially spouting water comes from the rocks nearby. You may want to Google the legend of the Spouting Horn 😊, it is so very interesting 🧐.

Hope that you are enjoying the first day of June😄! Stay tuned for the video of the Spouting Horn in a future post😊

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. 😃

Cabo Sailing ⛵️- Omg 😆!

Cabo San Lucas is an absolutely gorgeous place😁! I cannot wait to go back one of these days. The views are totally next level and it will leave a wonderful impression upon you. Although I have sailed various places around the world 🌎, this particular expedition provided one of the most magnificent views that I have ever seen. Here is just a glimpse of the views that I saw on this incredible voyage: youtube.com/shorts/Bk-xbozIONE

The rock structure that you saw in the video is called, Neptune’s Finger. If it looks amazing on the video, it looks even more amazing in person 😮. I could not believe that we got as close as we did to it. It is one of the more iconic structures that you will see, sailing the beautiful Sea of Cortez.

On this voyage, I also got a chance to see the magnificent, Arc of Cabo San Lucas. That video is located on this blog, just in case you are interested in viewing it. I was completely awestruck looking at that magnificent structure. The water was particularly rough during that part of the tour, so that video has a flair of excitement and adventure.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you are enjoying a great weekend. Check back early and often for more travel adventures!

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 😂.

Message in a Bottle Vibes😍❤️🌴🏔

Sailing is one of my favorite past times. 😊Once I retire one of these days, I look forward to life cruising around the world 🌎 as I venture on even more vacations. In the meantime, I plan to work, travel and repeat as many times as possible 😂. Here is a short video from a recent sailing adventure – hold on tight 😊: youtube.com/shorts/UMqwheP8gXc

I was trying very hard to keep my balance in this video. The deck was slippery as the boat increased its speed. Thankfully, no one was injured in the making of this video and I was able to successfully capture the video while keeping my balance at the same time 🙌👏!

I look back at this memory with much joy. I viewed so many pictures on Trip Advisor (which is where I booked this excursion) and assumed that the pictures captured everything that I would see on my adventure. Boy was I wrong 😂. As with any great experience, you have to be there to really get the most out of it.

I saw incredible views (some of which, are captured in this blog) that were just breathtaking. I learned while I was there that people relocate in high numbers when they vacation in Kauai. I have a better understanding why that is the case now. You absolutely fall in love with the weather, the gorgeous views and the easy going lifestyle. The Kauai experience is truly to die for 😃!

Tropical 🌴 Vibes for the Weekend 😍❤️🔥

Tropical vibes are the best vibes 😊! I love traveling to tropical places and experiencing tropical adventures😃. For me, I could retire on a tropical island somewhere and live happily ever after. That’s my retirement plan for sure 😂. The toughest thing for me will be figuring out which tropical island that I would like to retire on.

If there is ever one island that stands out in my mind, it would be the beautiful island of Kauai, which absolutely took my breath away😃. I have never seen an island as beautiful as I saw visiting Kauai. To say that it is the number one travel location that I have ever visited, is spot on. Here is just a glimpse of the type of beauty that you will see there: youtube.com/shorts/90vPMdD89OI

The video above, captures some of the Smith Fern Grotto, which is a must see when visiting Kauai. If you are a lover of all things tropical, look no further than the Smith Fern Grotto. In order to get here, you have to take a 15-20 minute boat ride and walk through a small forest to get there!

Sounds like an adventure for sure and you are sure to enjoy the sights and the sounds of visiting this beautiful place. Hope that you will make your plans soon to visit.

Waterfall Vibes – So Amazing 🤩!

Who doesn’t love a beautiful waterfall? Of course, everyone does. There is just something about seeing the water fall from different elevations that really appeals to is as human beings😊! In fact, we like it so much that the sounds of waterfalls is often used to either generate calmness in us and/or sleepiness. We are fans of waterfalls and we cannot get enough of seeing them.

If you have followed this blog for some time, you know that I am a huge fan of waterfalls. Both times that I have visited Hawaii, it was to chase waterfalls. Thankfully 😅 I not only chased them but also captured video of them to be used on this blog and shared widely on social media. Here is a video of Wailua Falls, for your viewing pleasure: youtube.com/shorts/9rO8BlTaudE

Very beautiful waterfall to chase for sure😃! I saw my first waterfall back in 2021 and I have been hooked ever since. I have posted videos of each of the waterfalls that I have seen, out here on my blog. Feel free to go see those posts also. They are really incredible!

Although my experience with waterfalls have been entirely in Hawaii, waterfalls exist in other places of the world 🌎. Feel free to explore waterfalls closer to where you may live. They are such beautiful natural wonders! I plan to explore other places of the world 🌎 to chase additional waterfalls in the near future!
