Sky Views from Above ✈️

I love sky views from airplanes😻 ❤️! No matter what airline I fly, I always have a window seat preference designated on my profile 😂. It is an absolute must for me. Viewing the beautiful sky and the magnificent earth views below, just brings a wonderful peace within for me. I recently took a flight and captured this remarkable video: youtube.com/shorts/euA40CbFGzE

Lovely views indeed 😃. It doesn’t matter how many times you fly, there is always something new to see. I have become more grateful for these views since the pandemic 😷. We all might be guilty of taking these views and trips in general for granted, until we could not take trips anymore.

This particular video was captured during a recent trip to Dallas where I was connecting to another flight ✈️. Did not expect to see these views but I greatly appreciate beauty in all of its forms 😂. Could not help but capture it when I see it.

If you are not a fan of the window seat on a plane, I encourage you to try it again for the first time. Who knows what type of views you will see.

Waterfall Chaser 🤩!

I love chasing waterfalls! Anywhere a waterfall is located, I want to go see it. It is so nice and so peaceful looking at the beautiful water 💦. Perhaps not a more peaceful, serene scene than watching and hearing the sound of waterfalls. Here is one of those majestic beauties, on full display: youtube.com/shorts/ySAnpt75Vf4

Doesn’t it look heavenly? 😃 I could go see this waterfall again. This is Kahuna Falls which is located in the Akaka Falls State Park in Hilo, Hawaii. It was so exciting hiking 🥾 to this beautiful location. Rules of the park do not allow you to hike down to the waterfall but to observe it from a lookout point which is where I am standing while looking at this beautiful wonder of nature!

One thing to consider when visiting this park is that it is definitely at a higher mountain elevation. If you have not visited the mountains before, it takes a different type of conditioning – which you will notice as you hike there. I found myself huffing and puffing after hiking a short while.

I hope that you enjoy the above video. It gives you a glimpse of the beauty that is found there at the Akaka Falls State Park.

Ocean Eyes – Tropical 🐠 🌴Mood

Ocean views are the best views by far 😎! Incredible sights and unbelievable sounds provide such a wonderful refuge from the everyday life routine that we all have grown accustomed to. If you need a great reminder of the peace and tranquillity that such a location can provide, look no further than this link: youtube.com/shorts/Npc3oB9xgHw

There is just something magical about getting your daily dose of vitamin sea that calms the mind and soothes the soul🙌. It is your “serenity now” moment that provides peace within under the sky above.

It really doesn’t matter how many times that I have been to the beach, where the beach is located or when I have last visited the beach. It is always priority one to get back as soon as I can! My best paths in life, have led to the beach somewhere 🌴.

If you have followed this blog, you know this already and you have seen pictures and videos from beaches from various locations. As I continue to travel and even in times that I am not traveling, I will share posts such as these as personal investments in experiences, that have made my life so much richer😊🙌!

Hawaii or Mars? See for yourself 😃

Never have I visited a place that has looked like it does not belong on this planet, until now. Take a look at the Chains of Crater Road, located near the Volcano National Park: youtube.com/watch

It looks like another planet 😂. Such otherworldly views that, if I had not traveled there and seen it for myself, I probably would not have believed it. What a magnificent place!

Turns out that this unbelievable place is a very popular hiking spot for locals and visitors. Almost seems like it should be on the old show: Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Before traveling to Hawaii, I had no idea that places like these exist. It is a natural wonder surrounded by other natural wonders on the Big Island of Hawaii. You will totally be amazed if you should ever have the opportunity to visit this remarkable place.

Volcano 🌋 Vent – Stand Back!

Coming in hot on a a Monday! Hope that you have a wonderful week. Wanted to take the time to share a cool experience that I had viewing a volcano vent for the first time outside of Mount Kilauea😊. If you would like to see more, please check out the video: youtube.com/shorts/gtO1DzPQElE

As you can see from the video, the steam form the volcano is coming in very hot 🥵 so you most definitely have to stand back! What you may or may not be able to tell from the video is that it is so very cold around the volcano. That is why we are dressed like we are with hoodies, jackets etc.

It is hard to believe that you can experience cold in Hawaii, but surprisingly you can. The Big Island of Hawaii, in addition to the beautiful beaches and warm weather, also has mountains and higher elevations which contributes to the colder weather. When you visit Hawaii, expect to pack shorts and also jackets and hoodies 😊. This is totally based upon the type of experience you are looking to have.

I like to take it all in, so I pack for the beach and for visiting the mountains and volcanoes. You only live once, so why not 😂. Makes for a lifetime of memories that you can share which makes your experience so much richer.

Carnival Cruise (Pre-Covid): Dance 💃 🕺🏾 Vibes

If you are in need of fun vibes, look no further than this video, which was taken on a Carnival Cruise back in the good old days prior to the pandemic: youtube.com/shorts/8YMW4STq5ag

Hard to believe that there were times like these, but these times actually existed😃. My sincere hope is that these times return soon. It is always good to reflect on good times especially during not so good times.

This video is just plain fun 🤩! This was part of the sail away celebration that Carnival was having, as we prepared to set sail to the Western Caribbean. Little did we know at the time, how much fun we would have visiting Costa Maya, Belize and Cozumel.

I encourage you, if you have not experienced a cruise or even if you have, to enjoy this type of experience once or again. Looking at this video, puts me mentally back on that ship, enjoying all of the sights and sounds😃

Keep Calm and Wobble 😃🏝🏖!

Nothing else like dancing in a group. 😃 Couple that with being on vacation at a beach and you have excellent memories. Such is the case with my first and only visit to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Certainly not my last for sure.

The wobble is a very iconic dance that is widely known by almost everyone. This particular video today shows the fun that I experienced doing the wobble after dinner on the beach. Certainly an experience like none other that I have had. This beach was located onsite at the Hilton Rose Hall Hotel in case you may want to visit.

I hope that you enjoy the vibes here and make sure, by all means, to Keep Calm and Wobble! 💃😃🔥🇯🇲

Jamaican Beach Wobble

Paradise Found: Beach 🏖 vibes from Hawaii

Paradise vibes are in full effect! Check it out here: youtube.com/watch

My favorite paths in life have always led to the beach. There is nothing on this earth 🌍 like it! The sun above and the sand beneath gives you so much peace within. Being there only increases your desire to return.

That is certainly the case for this beautiful black sand beach located on the Big Island of Hawaii. If you have seen my previous posts on the beautiful Punalu’u Beach 🏖, you know exactly what I am talking about. The view is an awesome mixture of fun and sun that you just cannot afford to miss. I stood amazed at the vivid colors on display. You will perhaps see no other thing like it on God’s green earth.

If you have a chance to visit this summer, you will see that it is indeed beautiful 🤩. Until that travel time, feel free to take a look at the video above and my previous posts.

Michael Jackson – Encore performance of Bad 😎

Bad is one of my favorite songs from my Michael Jackson playlist. Here is the choreography from that song performed by a Michael Jackson impersonator and his band in Jamaica 🇯🇲 👉youtube.com/shorts/WG6ZQbV7p5M

Could not help but wax nostalgic listening to this music. Truly one of the greatest artists of our time. His music continues to live on and will do so for generations to come. I certainly hope that you enjoy the music above and check out this blog for other travel related content!

Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal Vibes from Jamaica 🇯🇲 😀🙌🕺🏾

Today I included a throwback from a few year ago! An excellent Michael Jackson impersonation located here👉youtube.com/shorts/19-AFE9QaEU

It was wonderful seeing this right before my visit eyes. I remember it as if it was yesterday. That particular night at the Hilton Rose Hall was one to remember. I grew up as a Michael Jackson fan so I knew all of his songs. Although he passed away back in 2009, his music continues to live on.

In addition to this song, Smooth Criminal, all of my favorite songs were performed as if I requested them myself. Could not beat these types of vibes anywhere you go. I was very impressed with this performance and I hope that you will be also. Have a great day!
