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!

Dancing in Jamaica 🇯🇲 😎🏝

Dancing 💃🕺🏾just makes you feel better ❤️‍🩹😊! Does not matter what type of day you are having or had, dancing just makes you feel a lot better. When you can experience these vibes when traveling, well, you get an amazing experience like this : youtube.com/shorts/ZSuGU4LgeI0

They are so very talented😃! Cannot imagine how much time it took these guys to choreograph these moves but they were magical 😂. This entertainment was courtesy of the Hilton Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica 🇯🇲. What a phenomenal time overall at this beautiful hotel.

This was the entertainment on the very first night, so it provided an excellent precursor to what I could expect for the remainder of the visit! It certainly did not disappoint at all. If you liked this type of entertainment, stay tuned for other entertainment that I will show in future posts.

If you have never visited the beautiful island of Jamaica 🇯🇲, you really should. I have visited the island twice so far and I plan to visit this wonderful place again. Jamaica provides such a fantastic escape from normal life😃!

Best is Yet to Come😎🏝🌞!

The best is yet to come 😃! Sometimes it is just great to hear that. Memories of older trips that I have taken, makes me believe that other better trips are on the horizon. I pride myself in being an optimist and an adventurer which always has me boldly going to vacations that I have not been to before 😃! Here is one of those great trips that I have waited to take:youtube.com/shorts/hPyunE672qs

Isn’t this an amazing view? This view was taken outside Rick’s Cafe, which is absolutely a must see when visiting Jamaica 🇯🇲. It is one of the most iconic places to visit and you will thoroughly enjoy the experience. If you are a fan of great views and vibes, this is definitely your place 😂. I felt as if I could stay there for at least a month or more.

The ocean is so very beautiful 🤩. I could look out on those waves for days, weeks and months at a time. Nothing else quite like looking out on the waves of the ocean and feeling the peaceful feeling that helps you to relax. It is absolutely what the doctor ordered – and allows you to forget about everything.

Hope you enjoyed the video 😃! I will post additional videos like these in upcoming days 😃🙌!

Luau Vibes – Aloha Style🌺😎!

If you have never been to a luau, you have to go at least once😃. At least, that’s what I was told before going to one 😂! After going to one – I was instantly hooked! Here is just a glimpse of what you can expect: youtube.com/shorts/lKoJ-jAPkns

What tremendous coordination 😃. I could imagine that it must take so many hours to practice this choreography. They are so skilled and talented. Luaus are so common to Hawaii and are interwoven into the LiveAloha experience. In fact, when visiting Hawaii, you will have absolutely no problem trying to find one.

There are luaus and fire 🔥 shows galore in Hawaii 🌺. The link above is a video from Kauai Hawaii. You can see from the video, just how beautiful it really is. The video honestly does not accurately capture the beauty that is Kauai. If you visit Kauai, you will definitely not want to leave 😂.

Jamaica Me Crazy 😜❤️❤️!

Hope you are having a super day on today. I encourage you all to run 🏃🏾‍♂️ not walk, to an opportunity to visit Jamaica 🇯🇲. It is such a beautiful island 🏝 and the people are super friendly. I have now visited twice and I have thoroughly enjoyed both instances. Here is just a glimpse of what I saw, visiting Jamaica within the last week: youtube.com/shorts/ZNQ1qMJZliM

Out of the two times that I have visited Jamaica, I really enjoyed last week’s visit even more. It wasn’t the hotel for sure. I stayed in the same hotel twice and it is just superb – The Hilton Rose Hall. It was the beautiful views and vibes, like the ones above, that really made me enjoy this experience even better.

Thankfully 😅 this time, I had more time to work with. I utilized this time to tour Jamaica a lot more than I did the first time. I traveled through so many cities (Negril, St. Ann, Westmoreland, Nine Mile etc) and participated in more excursions this time around.

Montego Bay is where the Hilton Rose Hall is found but there is plenty to do as you ride going east or west. One of the cities that you have to visit is Negril – which is beautifully situated along the 7 mile Beach 🏖 area. This area has hotels and beaches galore – so if you decided to stay in one of these hotels 🏨, you won’t go wrong 😊.

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 🌎.

Beautiful View from Here😍❤️❤️!

Waimea Canyon is such a beautiful place😀. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and go 😂! Trust me, you will definitely enjoy it. Here is a beautiful view that I captured: youtube.com/shorts/-27rs8g_P44

Isn’t it just lovely 😊? It was such a magnificent experience. On that particular day, thankfully, the park was not packed. Matter of fact, the only people in the park, are the people in the video 😂. What you are seeing in the video is the lookout deck for Waimea Canyon. As you might guess, this is an excellent place to not only see the canyon but also to take lots of pictures and videos!

I was just impressed with how massive the canyon is. It is an absolute beauty with all of the colors that you see. For the truly adventurous, there are hiking trails that you can hike on. I did try to hike for a mile or so, downhill. That wasn’t too bad until I had to hike back uphill to get back to my car 🚗 😂!

Hope you will consider a visit to Waimea Canyon in the near future. It is a fun place to take the family or to venture by yourself 😊.

Paradise Found – Amazing 😻 ❤️🔥!

Beaches are perhaps the best way to relax there is😎! Hearing the sound of the ocean 🌊 sets you instantly at peace. Something about that sky above and sand beneath that gives you wonderful peace within. Here is a short clip from my experience: youtube.com/shorts/GSIudrglmPg

The sea was a beautiful shade of blue on that day and I was so blessed to be there😄! After weeks of working, it was just what the doctor ordered. Heaven is not found on earth 🌍, but I believe that there are pieces of heaven here on earth 😂.

The place captured in the video is called Spouting Horn Park. You may wonder,why is it called Spouting Horn? Well, I will share a future video that shows why. Essentially spouting water comes from the rocks nearby. You may want to Google the legend of the Spouting Horn 😊, it is so very interesting 🧐.

Hope that you are enjoying the first day of June😄! Stay tuned for the video of the Spouting Horn in a future post😊
