Fun Zoo Vibes 🦁🐅🐻!

Lions, tigers and bears – oh my 😀! How I love the zoo. It does not matter where it is, I always find myself going to the zoo as a part of my travel experience😀If you have not been in a while or even if you have, check out this video, you will enjoy it: youtube.com/shorts/_-SQBhiflss

Pretty cool vibes 😎. I had to capture this moment, the giraffe and ostriches were just having too much fun 🤩. You rarely see these type of moments when you are visiting the zoo. They all found a fun way to pass the time.

Animals are just so amazing anyways. The more you are around them, the more that you understand that they are a lot like humans. I am an animal lover and love to see all sorts of animals, whether at zoos, on safaris, you name it.

Hope that you enjoyed the video😊. You will see a few of these videos sprinkled here and there on this blog. Variety, after all, is the spice of life 😂.

Beautiful Garden Views❤️😊

I love beautiful landscapes as well as amazing destinations. When I visited Waikoloa Village, this is a glimpse of what I saw: youtube.com/shorts/ePkyt7Voyc8

It is a wonderful place for sure to visit. Would you believe that this view was captured at the Hilton Waikoloa Village? It is truly amazing for sure. I cannot wait to go back there. These views are extraordinary as well as other views that I captured at the hotel. There were so many views that I captured while traveling around the Big Island.

From my positive experience, I am looking for additional trips to other islands of Hawaii. If you have seen any of my previous posts, you know all too well that I really enjoyed my time there. It was a definite dream come true and I was so thankful to have the chance to visit. Hope that you will have an opportunity to visit as well!😀

Weekend Paradise😎🏝🦈

Who doesn’t love a weekend paradise? Everyone does because it provides a break from the mundane. Any day that you can spend time away from it all, is time well spent 😆. Here is one of my favorite weekend getaways: youtube.com/shorts/nbUi5W-jxV0

This video was taken from the balcony of my hotel room at the Hilton Los Cabos resort. What a view this is. One of my best that I have captured. I love beautiful beaches, in fact, when I am looking at where to go for vacation, 9 out of 10 times, I will choose a tropical location.

I used to visit amusement parks for vacation. I quickly found out that this is not a great idea. I came back home more tired than when I left 😂. I had to quickly redefine my expectations of what a vacation should be.

First and foremost, it should be relaxing 😎. Next, I have to experience the location that I am visiting via tours, beach life, and other excursions. This place provided so many amenities and access to excursions via the concierge desk. During this trip, I went sailing along the Sea of Cortez, camel back riding and zip lining.

Find your beach and go😎. You will be so glad that you did 😆

Hold on to your Hat 🧢 👒!

Hold on to your hat! Such an incredible ride aboard the tour boat on the Belize River. It is totally a ride for the ages and I have captured it here: youtube.com/shorts/FBgp6AzNU7g

This ride was very cool 😎. I must say that my tour of the Belize River was not this fast for the entire ride. There were times in which the tour boat operator was required by law to go fast along the river and times in which he could go slow. These fast times were at the highest speed that I had experienced during a boat 🚤 tour.

The actual duration of the tour was an incredible 6 hours 😳. Hard to believe huh?🤔. It was still so fantastic. A wonderful opportunity to experience all of the sights and sounds of Belize and the tour included a very tasty lunch at the Iguana 🦎 Stop restaurant which I highly recommend.

Belize was on my bucket list and I am so thankful to be able to check it off my list. If you have never been to Belize, please plan a visit. You will enjoy all that Belize has to offer.

Living on a Prayer 🙏 😀!

One of my favorite 80s songs is “Living on a Prayer”. It has a way of getting you going when you are stuck in neutral to start the day 😂. Here is this great song live as it is performed on a cruise ship enroute to the USA from Cozumel: youtube.com/shorts/UEi7YSXt4mo

This performance was electric and I was glad to be a part of it. Always helps in the enjoyment of it when one of your favorite songs is being performed! This 80s Party 🎉 will always be one of my favorite memories from the wonderful entertainment that I experienced onboard this Carnival Cruise.

As I have said before in previous posts, I definitely encourage you all to take at least one cruise 🚢 within your lifetime. You will not regret it, you will come back with a different perspective on travel. It certainly enlightens the travel experience when you visit various locations on a single voyage. These are destinations that you would have to visit separately on an airplane.

I hope that you enjoy the video – it was a wonderful experience 😀!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🌊 😎!

Vitamin Sea helps me be me!😀Nothing else like it for sure. If you cannot be near it 24/7, memories of being near the ocean adequately suffices 😂. Here is a video of cruising near the coast of the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/026Ud8YYfF4

That water is a perfect color of blue. It is so very inviting. There are times that I wish I can teleport to different parts of the world 🌎. Maybe this technology will exist one of these days but in the meantime, imagination will do.

This particular video was captured in the downtown area of the Big Island. Down in this area of town is where the Iron Man Competition is held. Competitors also train in this area of town. Pretty cool huh 🤔?

As you can see, this was a picture perfect day to be out and about. I was living out a childhood dream that I had so many years ago to set foot on the island of Hawaii. I was certainly not disappointed and I look forward to visiting more Hawaiian Islands as I continue my travels.

Dance Vibes for a Tuesday🕺🏾💃!

Nothing like a fun trip! 😊 If it contains dancing, you have a party 🎊🎊🎉🎉. Here is a dance party for the ages – enjoy 😊: youtube.com/shorts/BZVkppOhrq4

This was one of the best times that I had on a cruise. The video above captures the dance party which was a part of the sail away celebration. I am assuming other cruise lines have pre-sail festivities also. It was a great send off to say the least. 😂

In the video, it looks very weird to have so many people concentrated in one place. This was the way we use to interact on a cruise prior to the pandemic 😷. Hoping that these times come back soon.

Hope that you enjoy the video and happy sailing to you all in the future.

Mood for a New Week 😊

Nature views are some of the best views that you can observe. A mix of nature views and lush golf greens make for a beautiful video that I captured recently: youtube.com/shorts/e2wfbPKZ5ac

Lovely views indeed 😊! This was the view from my bedroom window this past weekend at a luxury resort. This is the best part of waking up wherever you may be 😂. This is why you travel, to see views that are not a part of your everyday reality.

Whenever I travel, in addition to wanting the window seat for views, I also am fairly picky when it comes to windows views from my hotel room. That is certainly not to say that I have had the best views all of the time. I have seen my fair share of dumpsters, alleys etc. 😂 but the best views have come from the absolute best locations.

The video above shows one of those best locations that I plan to visit again. The more views, the better – whether from your hotel balcony or while walking on the grounds of the hotel.

Hope that you enjoy the video and regularly check this blog for future updates

Easy Vibes for the Weekend😃!

Happy weekend to you! Made it through another week to see a magnificent day. I wanted to share a magnificent day that I had on a black sand beach in Hawaii called Punalu’u beach. If you have never seen a black sand beach before or even if you have, take a look at this beautiful one: youtube.com/shorts/CTDX2HnDhlk

Before visiting on this day, I had never seen a black sand beach. I had heard about them but have never set foot on one. As you can see, it is very beautiful 😻. Furthermore, the sand is so cool to touch unlike white sand beaches which tend to be hot as the temperature rises outside.

This particular day was not sunny but overcast. This turned out to be the calm before the storm because within a few minutes, the rain 🌧 poured down in buckets 😂. I had actually planned on visiting Mount Kilauea, about 40 minutes away, but due to the rainstorm, I decided to head back to the hotel.

I look forward to visiting this beautiful , beach again in the future but until then I will hang on to these magnificent memories. Hope that you enjoy the video! 😀

Lovely Views from Costa Maya🤩!

Before going on a Carnival Cruise to Costa Maya, I had never heard of Costa Maya 😂. I heard of Cabo, Cozumel, Cancun etc. but never Costa Maya. I am so glad that I visited this beautiful place. The video that I am about to share was captured on the deck of a Carnival Cruise before I was about to disembark the ship to go onshore: youtube.com/shorts/j9lcWJh513I

From this video, you can clearly see how colossal cruise ships really are. They are massive 😃! You are looking at a Royal Caribbean cruise liner🚢 and a much smaller boat. This still wows me that these ginormous cruise ships are able to float on the water. Seems like with the phenomenal weight of the ship, it should not be able to do so.

The water is such a perfect shade of blue😃. I have not seen such blue water 💦 in my previous travels. Almost want to dive in for a swim 🏊‍♀️.

As part of my excursion in Costa Maya, I visited the Lost Mayan Kingdom Water Park. This was such a cool place to visit. I will share more videos that I captured while in the park in later posts. It is an absolute must see for sure. If your travels include a visit to Costa Maya, it is well worth a visit!
