Cozumel is an island oasis๐! You will be hard pressed to find another island that offers the views and the many excursions that are are offered in Cozumel. I have been fortunate enough to visit the island ๐๏ธ three times so far but I have absolutely fallen in love. I was able to visit via Carnival Cruises there but I would gladly fly directly there to spend even more time there. It is well worth it๐! Here is just a glimpse of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/pXx4v0eqBmI

Carnival Cruise Vibes ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ!
Who doesn’t like a great cruise ? Especially if it is on a great cruise line like Carnival, Royal Caribbean etc. It took a while for me to go on my first cruise, but since that time – I am definitely hooked. This is a great reason why ๐:youtube.com/shorts/GfxqGNtVvLQ
Each of the cruises that I have taken has taken me places that I have never been before. When you travel, you really get a chance to see how small your world is, compared to a much larger world that needs to be explored. I am beginning more and more to appreciate any of the adventures that I have been blessed to take because it has made me so much more well rounded.
Cruises are perhaps the best way, in my opinion, to travel. It seems expensive at first until you start adding in the other way to travel, which includes airfare, hotel, food etc. Cruise ships are all inclusive experiences – food, logging and even drinks (not alcohol but you can purchase a drink package) are included in the one price.
Cruise operators (Carnival etc.) also give you the ability to pay over time for your cruise experience. The particular cruise that the video references above was to the Western Caribbean. It was such a great experience – which you can see in the video. You are sure to leave amazed and enthusiastic about going on another experience!
Fire Show Vibes๐ฅ๐๐
Who doesn’t love a good show? I absolutely do and if it just so happens to have fire ๐ฅ thrown in – count me in ๐!Here is an excellent fire show that displayed next level skill and abilities that I know that I do not have ๐ : youtube.com/shorts/1p2ptJ97jsc
Her skills are just amazing ๐คฉ and I am sure that it took so much time to perfect. This video was taken in Kauai Hawaii and it was magnificent๐. I had never seen a magic show before so truthfully, I did not know what to expect. I was completely blown away.
This fire show happened just a few hours after I got off of the plane โ๏ธ, so I immediately knew that I was in for a great time while I was there. Kauai continued to amaze and I was totally blown away from the experience.
If you are interested in additional footage from the fire show, please feel free to look for previous blog posts on this blog. You will be astonished and amazed by the wonderful skill.
Waterfall Wednesday๐๐บโค๏ธโค๏ธ!
Chasing waterfalls is a passion of mine ๐! 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 video๐! As you can tell from the video, it was not a very sunny day ๐. Actually it was raining ๐ง 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 ๐ of Hawaii. From my hotel ๐จ, it took about an hour and 30 minutes ๐to get to Akaka Falls State Park. It was so well worth the drive๐! 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 ๐. I am a believer of exploring the world ๐ and all of its beauty. Waterfalls are certainly unlike anything else on earth ๐!
Slow Ride – Aloha Style๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ!
Nothing like a great scenic views๐! 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 incredible๐! 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 today๐! Feel free to check back early and often for other blog posts, as I continue to travel the world ๐.
Nature Views from Kauai ๐โค๏ธ๐๐ฝ
Smith’s Grotto is definitely a must see ๐! ! It is a wonderful place to visit during any Hawaiian ๐บ adventure. This tour was absolutely one for the ages: youtube.com/shorts/28c-agNN3Qw
Hawaii, as you have seen from the videos that have been posted, is an absolute dream. On the video above, we are on a nature journey to see the infamous Smith Grotto!๐ Could not believe the absolute beautiful views that I was able to capture on the journey there.
In a later post on this blog, I will ensure that I post video exclusively from the Smith Grotto location. It is an absolute thing of beauty! I was so surprised to find out that so many people get married there!
Hope that you enjoyed the video above โค๏ธ! It was such a joy to visit this place and I am glad to be able to share it with everyone.
Viva Los Cabos๐๐ด๐ฅ!!
Los Cabos is an absolute dream! If you have never been to Los Cabos – put it on your bucket list๐. Here is a great video of the beautiful hotel that I had the pleasure of staying in:. youtube.com/shorts/FTjAcFrpBhM
The beautiful hotel seen in this video is the Hilton Los Cabos Hotel and Resort๐. One of the best hotels in Los Cabos. It was an absolute dream – you most definitely would enjoy the experience. For me, it starts with the largest hotel room that I have ever stayed in. Then, it is all about the amazing amenities and the ocean front views that will absolutely capture your heart โค๏ธ.
If you have followed this blog for some time, I have highlighted many aspects of Mexico particularly Los Cabos! If you have not seen the previous posts, I encourage you to take a look. Most folks have heard of Cabo San Lucas, which is nearby. I actually went sailing on the Sea of Cortez in Cabo San Lucas.
The Hilton Los Cabos has one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, which also is an absolute plus. The waters in Los Cabos tend to be rough and choppy at times. You will enjoy countless hours hanging out at the beach ๐.
Hope that you will consider Los Cabos/Cabo San Lucas in the future. With Spring Break approaching, this would be an excellent location to visit๐!
Jump In – Water Feels Great ๐ฆ ๐!
Kalahari Hotels and Resorts are an absolute dream ๐คฉ! If you have followed my blog, you already know how beautiful it is. There is something to do for the whole family and it is a lot cheaper than Universal Studios and Disney ๐. Check out this ginormous wading pool: youtube.com/shorts/fcacCAxz83k
In posting this video, I can see myself right here wading in that water ๐ฆ. Hopefully you can see yourself there also. Cannot overstate how much I enjoyed my experience there at the park. The indoor water park is worth the price of admission alone!๐
The video above highlights just one of the indoor attractions that Kalahari has there. In recent years, Kalahari Hotels and Resorts have popped up in various parts of the USA. If I am not mistaken, there is at least a couple that are located elsewhere in the world.
The Kalahari experience that I have captured is from the fairly new water park in Round Rock, Texas. Not only was the water park top notch but so was the beautiful hotel ๐จ. I would definitely encourage anyone, as you are making plans for Spring Break or even Summer travel, to check out Kalahari. You will be so glad that you did ๐!
GameTime Fun at Kalahari ๐คฉ๐๐๐!
Who doesn’t like a great arcade? I saw the biggest one that I have ever seen at Kalahari Hotels & Resorts. It was such a phenomenal time playing the various games there. Here is a video that shows how massive this arcade room was: youtube.com/shorts/m0vNv4t65Xg
I have always been an avid gamer!๐So as you might imagine, I spent quite a bit of time in this place! Kalahari had all of the latest games, and on top of that, they also had some high quality restaurants there also! These restaurants were conveniently located in the arcade area and also as you are walking to the arcade area.
Spending time in the arcade was amazing but if you are seeking water park adventures, you can walk through the arcade to get to the indoor water park๐! Can it possibly get any better than this? The convenience factor was just amazing! I spent a lot of time in the water park also๐.
I encourage you all to visit this beautiful place, where there is something to do for the whole family! Kalahari Hotel and Resorts are located throughout the United States. Make your plan to visit the one nearest you.
Belize Sights and Sounds ๐๐๐ป๐ป
Belize is such a beautiful place to visit๐By far, it is one of the best places that I have visited. Always a great feeling when you can get long time bucket list items checked off your list. Here is just a compilation of the sights and sounds of Belize: youtube.com/shorts/GNXW02RgTpg
Hopefully you enjoyed the video!๐Belize was one of the stops while cruising along the Western Caribbean! Impressive trip all around especially the speed boat tour of the Belize River. If you ever go, please do the Belize River tour – you will be so glad you did!
I must admit, the Belize River tour isn’t always fast moving. In Belize ๐ง๐ฟ, there are spots along the river where you cannot go fast. While sailing along the river, you will see manatees, alligators ๐, snakes ๐ etc.
In addition to the tour, you can also visit the Belize Zoo, where you will see a lot of awesome animals. Thankfully this is part of the overall tour – which really adds to the value that this tour has!
