Summer Vacation planning

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 🌍!

Ocean Views for Days😎☀️🌴!

Love my share of beautiful ocean views😃! Nothing is like looking at the beautiful views of the oceans. How amazing it is – the piece and tranquility that it gives you is amazing. Vitamin Sea is always needed, early and often 😂Here are some vibes that will certainly get you going on today: youtube.com/shorts/4TkqIYR7w2Y

Such phenomenal views to say the least! I am always in awe when I look at the videos that I captured of beautiful Hawaii. If you are new to this blog, I invite you to peruse the previous blog posts and take a look at the waterfall, volcano and beach views that I have captured here. It is sure to make you smile and give you great vacation ideas.

Up until this trip, I had never been on a catamaran before. I highly recommend looking for a catamaran excursion on your next vacation😃! I heard about them in the past but had a little anxiety 😟 about being on one. Mainly because my experience on boats 🚤 have been aboard Carnival Cruises 🚢 which are ginormous. The smaller boats seemed too small!

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you will make your plans to visit Hawaii in the future 😃!

Cool 😎 Jamaica Vibes🌴❤️

If you are looking for a great location to visit for summer vacation, look no further than beautiful 🤩 Jamaica 🇯🇲! Business is back to normal and the views are incredible. Here is an example of what you can expect from visiting this beautiful island: youtube.com/shorts/qXR4akRtan0

The view is perfect in this video ❤️❤️! I can imagine myself being here and hanging out watching the waves as they beat against the shore. If you have never been, you are in for a great time. The locals are so friendly and accommodating, truly some of the best people that I have met along my travels.

Jamaica is known for a number of things but the Blue Mountain Coffee is just superb. In my mind, it is truly in a class by itself. The weather is perfect 🤩, not too hot or cold, but just right. When I visited the island 🏝, I had a magnificent time at the Hilton Rose Hall in Montego Bay. What a place to hang out for sure. The rooms are spacious and the amenities are truly top notch😃!

Hope that you enjoyed the video above and that you will soon make plans to visit this magnificent island for summer vacation. Summer will definitely be over in no time 😎🎈!

Journey to the Arch😃😍😎!

Some people live for an adventure and I happen to be one of those people😃! Does not matter what type of transportation that I am using to get there, I enjoy the journey. It has often been said that half the fun of getting where you are going is the journey. The journey to the Cabo San Lucas Arch was a little rocky but well worth the wait, as you can see here: youtube.com/shorts/BuWr-66qFpE

What you see in the video, is the World Famous – Cabo San Lucas Arch😎! If you have never seen it before, here it is. What a magnificent sight it is. By the way, the main way to see the Arch and all of its splendor, is by boat 🚤.

The boat that I am sailing on is a glass bottom boat that seats around 8 people. These type of boats are used a lot as you sail to various excursions around the world. I prefer these because you can see the fish swimming up to the floor of your boat 😂. It is a sight to see!

This particular voyage took me to various excursions along the way (Neptune’s Finger, Lover’s Beach 🏖 etc.) Always great when you can see so many sights all in one tour😃! I would definitely recommend taking this tour or any glass bottom tour when visiting your location of choice. I had a positive experience and I am sure that you will also. Always check the reviews first to determine if the expedition is the right one for you and your family 😃.

Beautiful Hawaii 🌺😍😻!

Hawaii is simply an amazing paradise 😊! Trust me, no matter how many times you go there, you always want to go back. With these types of views, why not?youtube.com/shorts/U1ZNvY8m50k

It is a magnificent shade of green captured in the video. Perhaps the nature of Hawaii is the most underrated aspect of Hawaii. Turns out that the government in Hawaii, goes to great lengths to preserve these natural views. They make sure that developers could only build in designated parts of Hawaii.

The beautiful place that you see in the video was captured in Lihue, Hawaii which is miles away from beautiful Kauai 😊. I felt as if I was visiting a different world looking at these views🌎. In the mainland USA 🇺🇸, nature is sacrificed in the name of development all of the time 😂.

As a result, in some places, you struggle to find nature of any kind. Meanwhile, concrete jungles of roads, stores and movie theaters abound. Makes you really think 🤔 of whether our priorities might be a little bit misguided! 😊

Views and more😍❤️🔥!

Nothing quite like beautiful views and delicious food 😂! If you can find a place like this, you are most likely to return as soon as you can. Such was the case with Rick’s Cafe in Negril Jamaica 🇯🇲. If you have seen other videos of this place on my blog, you already know how amazing it is😊. If you are seeing this blog for the first time or you are returning and need a great reminder, here is the link: youtube.com/shorts/cRzlwEv16HM

In the video, am standing at the top level of Rick’s Cafe looking out on all of the phenomenal surroundings. The views are truly superb and provide just a glimpse of what you can expect when visiting this wonderful place. There is absolutely no doubt that this place is rated the #1 Beach 🏖 Bar in the World by the Travel Channel.

If you get an opportunity to visit in the near future, run don’t walk to this location 😂. It is an absolute must see and you will enjoy hours of fun eating and enjoying the beautiful sights and sounds of this magnificent place 🤩!

Waterfall Vibes – Unbelievable 🤩❤️🙏🏽!

How I love chasing waterfalls 😍! Made popular by the 90s group, TLC – chasing waterfalls has been on folks minds ever since then. I have always wanted to see them for the first time, up close and personal, just to see what all of the hype is about. Boy, was I very happy that I did – the view was amazing:. youtube.com/shorts/oXI7-2IIItE

This sight was just phenomenal🤩. I could not believe my own eyes. Such a wonderful sight. If you haven’t seen a waterfall, make sure you plan to do so. It could be as massive as this one or even smaller than the one above. The great thing about Hawaii is that waterfalls abound almost on every single island 🏝.

This particular one is called Akaka Falls and it is located in the Akaka Falls State Park in Hilo, Hawaii. Hilo is at a higher elevation than the rest of the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii, so get ready for mountain elevation. The air tends to be a lot thinner in the mountains 🏔 as I discovered when hiking to see this waterfall 😂. I was panting a lot – since I was not accustomed to higher elevations.

It was an adventure that I would absolutely do again. I always love to see new places and experience new things. Certainly some the great opportunities that travel affords you!

Cliff Jumping – OMG 😳😎!

Cliff Jumping is so very interesting to watch😃! It is amazing that so many adventurous people love the rush of doing this. It takes courage to do so and nerves of absolute steel 😂. Here is a great example of this: youtube.com/shorts/bVhhomdJ97A

Wow – his form is amazing 🤩- almost like an Olympic diver. You could tell that he has done this before. It is amazing to perform this feat forward looking but to do it backwards is totally next level.

This video was captured outside of Rick’s Cafe in Negril, Jamaica 🇯🇲. This place is an iconic beach bar and voted the best beach 🏖 bar in the world according to the Travel Channel! That is high praise for sure😃. If you visit there once, you will definitely see why it was voted #1.

Fun in Negril😍🎊🎉!

Negril has been an absolute dream 🛌! There is nothing else like this place in the world. Hanging out at Rick’s Cafe was so cool. It is world famous in the travel community. From this video, you can see why: youtube.com/shorts/mWBMpRVV7vI

This is a great place to dive into the water and have some fun 🤩! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to coming back again. It was recently voted the #1 place to visit in Jamaica by the the Travel Channel 😃. Make sure to add this gorgeous location to your bucket list!

As I have been on social media for many years, I have seen many pictures and videos taken from Rick’s Cafe🙌! As the name suggests, it is a restaurant but so much more also. Did you know that they also have cliff diving? I actually got a chance to witness this first hand and I have videos to share with you all also.

Feel free to check my blog in the near future for other posts from Negril and other travel destinations. You will be so glad that you did 😃🙌!

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 🌎.
