Last Day of 2020 πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™Œ – thought we would never get here!

What a year 2020 has been! Hard to believe this is the last day of a year that will forever be remembered for the pandemic, social injustice marches, masks, loved ones that were lost etc. This year has had its share of ups and many more downs. Through it all and in it all, we have made it to the final day. 😊

I am very hopeful for a wonderful and prosperous New Year for myself and for us all. πŸ™Œ Hoping that we return to some since of normalcy within 2021. I believe that things can and will get better. We must keep the faith that better days are coming.

Thankfully I was able to do some traveling prior to the lockdown and quarantine period in March of this year. I was able to take a cruise to the Western Caribbean (Costa Maya, Cozumel and Belize). Also once the lockdown was lifted, I was able to take a staycation and visit a few places.

Attached below are some highlights from my 2020 posts from Instagram (travelfitguru). Feel free to connect on that platform and on Twitter and TikTok. Hope that you enjoy and that you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year! 😊

Stroll down Christmas Lane πŸŽ… πŸ˜€πŸŒ²

Happy Monday to all! So excited that there are only a few days before Christmas! Clearly, the most wonderful time of the year.🀩 This has been an extremely tough year for so many which makes the holiday season of even greater importance.

As I look around where I live, people are in a giving mood and a quite festive mood also despite the difficulties that this year has brought. I have attached one of the examples of a neighborhood that I recently visited. They are clearly not letting 2020 get them down. It was a joy to see the many decorations that are up and to experience the festive spirit that many have.

Dinner Cruise 🚒 Vibes

Reminiscing on very good times earlier this year onboard a Carnival Cruise to the Western CaribbeanπŸ˜ƒπŸ™Œ. The ship was at reduced capacity but everyone on board enjoyed the wonderful vibes.

It seems by looking at the video attached below that this is not an event that happened in 2020 but really of a long, forgotten time that was mask 😷 free. This was in fact, back in March 2020. That time was the calm before the proverbial storm!

I hope that you enjoy this video and I definitely hope to return to these times again. Until that time, stay safe and healthyπŸ˜ƒ!

Dinner Cruise 🚒 Vibes on the High Seas

Once upon a time in Montego BayπŸ–πŸ– 🌊 🏝

Once upon a time in Montego Bay, I had one of the best travel adventures of my life! 😊 This was my first and only time visiting this beautiful place but it will not be the last. So much fun in the sun β˜€οΈ, it was try hard to leave.

My stay started at the Rose Hall Hilton which is a superb all-inclusive hotel 🏨. Shots in the video were taken on the grounds of this gorgeous hotel. Truly one of the best places that I have stayed. This hotel had it all, great food, awesome shows and beautiful amenities.

It was wonderfully located on a beach and it included a water park for the kids. The pools were magnificent and very large. I would definitely recommend this hotel with its rather spacious rooms!

Also included in the video are shots from Dunn’s River Fall, Saint Ann’s River Rafting and other sights!

Ocean Eyes Vibes πŸ–β›΅οΈ

San Jose Del Cabo is a place that I would definitely visit again. The seaside vibes are superb and the white sand beaches are so spectacular! The video below was part of a tour that I booked through Trip Advisor. The tour also included a trip to the world famous Cabo San Lucas Arch which I will post later.

This particular area was overlooking the beach and also was located in an area of San Jose Del Cabo that lot of celebrities from the US have vacation houses. I hope that you enjoy the video below. I look forward to visiting this location again during my travels.

Hilton Los Cabos – what a stay πŸ€©πŸ™Œ!

Staying at the Hilton Los Cabos was a dream come true. The excellent views were just like paradise. Could not believe how absolutely perfect this hotel was. One of the very best hotels that I have ever stayed in. The rooms were spacious and the ocean views were second to none that I have ever seen.

The grounds were definitely immaculate. There were a number of pools onsite, even more than one swim πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ up bar! A number of cabanas were available around the beach area and the food was absolutely delicious.

Truly felt as if I had died and gone to heaven. I definitely look forward to visiting this wonderful place again after Covid. I am sure that it will need to be booked so far in advance πŸ˜‚! The secret is sure to get out. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its great views, excellent customer service, beach view and the wonderful amenities. Truly on of the top 3 hotels that I have visited in my travels abroad πŸ˜€πŸ™Œ!

Great views all around at the Hilton Los CabosπŸ˜€

Beach πŸ– Vibes Throwback

Sky above, sand beneath, peace within😎! Pretty much sums up these fantastic views. Being in quarantine has made me so appreciative of the wonderful travel that I have experienced. I long to travel even more nowadays.

This particular post is from Chankanaab Beach Water Park in Cozumel. I recall relaxing on the beach and feeling the oh so gentle breeze.πŸ˜ƒ Those were certainly peaceful and less stressful times. Hard to believe that it was from the beginning of this year! Seems like ancient times now but they will return one of these days πŸ™ŒπŸ‘

Cozumel Vibes πŸ–πŸ˜Ž πŸŠπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Flashback to sea vibes and high tides in Cozumel.πŸ˜ƒ These are views of the Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park in Cozumel, Mexico. This particular video was shot at the Dolphin 🐬 Discovery area of the park. The sea vibes are absolutely incredible and swimming with the dolphins was a fantastic experience.

This park is a must see when visiting Cozumel. I highly recommend spending a day here, there is a great deal of activities to experience!

More Vitamin Sea πŸŒŠπŸš£β€β™€οΈπŸ˜ŽπŸ–

Reminiscing today a little more on the Glass Bottom Boat ⛡️ Tour that I booked through Trip Advisor before embarking on my trip to Cabo. The tour guide was absolutely awesome and we sailed to several different locations. List of locations that we sailed to were: Lovers Beach, Cabo Arch, Gateway to the Pacific and Neptune’s Finger.

Below is a short video of my voyage on the Sea of Cortez πŸ–! Enjoy 😊

Fun on the High Seas 🌊😎

Thinking back to the cruise that I took earlier this year to Mexico before the shutdown here in the USA. What an absolutely fun time that I had. Especially sailing to the first port of call in Costa Maya. The views were incredible and I thought that I was in paradise. Never seen so much deep blue water on a perfect Spring Day! πŸ˜ƒ Almost like paradise for sure and to make it even better, it was in the morning with the sun shining and with a nice cool breeze.

Sometimes travel leaves you just speechless, this was one of those timesπŸš’πŸ™ŒπŸ’―
