Live Your Life😊❤️🙌!

“Live Your Life” is a great motto for today😃! We all want to make the most out of life because life is certainly so fleeting. We have become so much more aware of this fact, living in a pandemic world 🌎. The dilemma is determining what is most valuable in life: experiences or possessions or maybe both? I would love to have more possessions but experiences last a lot longer 😂! Case in point, is this experience at a wonderful resort: youtube.com/shorts/TPzKKA8XmrU

That was the view that I saw from my window, every morning that I walked out on the balcony. Absolutely perfect views for a wonderful hotel 🏨. This is the Ocean Tower located on the grounds of the Hilton Waikoloa Village. If you have followed this blog for some time, you would have noticed various videos from this balcony on previous posts.

I really appreciate beautiful experiences such as these. These experiences makes me want to have more experiences like these in the future. Alas, there is so many places and so little time 😊. Which means that prioritization is absolutely the key 🔑.

There were years in which I did not travel because, unfortunately, I did not realize the importance of forward planning for the vacation. My planning would consist of waiting until close to the week that I wanted to go on vacation and then attempt to book travel. Of course, at that time, everything is very expensive and out of my price range. Only when I started to plan for vacation and booked travel arrangements months before, did I start going on vacation.

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will check this blog, early and often, for new travel adventures! 😃

Costa Rica Vibes 😎🏖🏖🏝

Costa Rica is absolutely the island to visit 😃! The views are exceptional and will literally take your breath away. If you have never been to Costa Rica, consider this travel destination on your list. Here is just a preview of the beautiful sights that you will see on this magnificent island: youtube.com/shorts/Hw2gOhl9GoY

Hope that you enjoyed the beautiful views. Island vibes have a way of taking you away from the routine and mundaneness of everyday life. That is why the mantra: Work. Vacation. Repeat. 🔁 should be practiced as much as possible to ensure balance in the crazy world in which we live in.

Costa Rica is one of those places that once you visit, you will want to visit again. So much to see and to do and so very little time to do these things. If you enjoy beaches, beautiful scenery, cliffs, hiking etc. you will definitely enjoy this beautiful paradise.

The vacation is reasonably priced especially considering Hawaii, Bali, Bahamas and other more pricier islands. As always, booking ahead 2-3 months or more will make a material difference!

Check back early and often on this blog for more travel adventures! Have a great day😀.

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!

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😃!

Paradise Found-Omg😎!

Island views are the best views, bar none! 😊 My last few vacations have been to tropical locations. Here is one of the best beaches that I have ever visited: youtube.com/shorts/4cgoEGbEgxM

Hope that you appreciate the beauty of this spectacular video. The contrast of black sand and blue water is just exceptional. Looking at this video takes me instantly back to sitting on the beach 🏖. Especially experiencing such a cool day at home on today.

This is definitely paradise and I am so glad that I found it on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was so very impressive and a must visit if you are looking for vacation options in 2022. If you are thinking of visiting the Big Island of Hawaii soon, be sure to check out other posts like these on my blog.

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!

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 🌎!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🏝⛱😃!

A daily dose of Vitamin Sea can keep you happy and strong 😂. Studies have shown that it can greatly reduce burnout occurred from overworking and stress! A good vacation can certainly provide a relief from the stress and mundaneness of a typical week. Here is a video from one of my favorite places to vacation – Cozumel, Mexico: youtube.com/shorts/HhNNddSABwY

This video was taken from my beach chair as I was taking in all of the beauty that Cozumel has to offer. I can still remember some of the sights and sounds of being there. It is an incredible vacation destination that is definitely a must see. I stand amazed every time that I visit. I hope that you will add it to your bucket list for a future trip.

If you have been a follower of this blog, you have undoubtedly seen other videos from Cozumel, in addition to other places that I have had the pleasure of visiting down through the years. I plan to visit even more locations in the upcoming year so stay tuned for other adventures! 😃

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.
